... these surroundings.<br><br>So with an open mind we set off on motor bikes on Monday. Cruising by the beach, then on to the highway...freedom once again. Leading the way, we rode into Tralang to have lunch, followed by a long drive out to Ao Po Bay. Stopped for a quick beer, then walked out to the marina to view the life of the rich and maybe not so famous. The day was going perfectly...right up until the time Elaine crashed her motorbike into a concrete ...

... was under construction, which ruined it a bit&#8230;) We then headed back to naiharn beach to watch the sunset but we were a bit late, oh well another night.<br><br>11-2-09 and 11-3-09<br>Monday was my first day of the ATI course. There are 3 other people in the course with me. Alex from Liverpool England, Tristan from Brisbane Australia, and Bryan from Chicago USA.<br><br>Mon and Tues we have class at the hotel down by the beach from 9am to 3pm and 1.5 hour lunch break ...

... difficult then I thought so we started thinking about founding our own company. As soon as we thought about this idea more frequently, things started to happen which pushed us in exactly this direction. What kind of company would we like to have? where do we want to stay? We were thinking of our possibilities over and over again until we suddenly had an idea during a ...

... After lunch, we wandered around and ended up at a little shopping mall which was basically a large department store on the bottom and several kiosks on top which sold jewelery, make-up, small electronics and clothes. Here we witnessed our first "lady boy," who was a hair stylist. Lady boys are very common in Thailand and are essentially just as their name indicates - boys who dress as ladies. The lady boys we spotted were hair stylists and quite easy to pick out; however, there is ...

... we stayed for the next two nights. In our small and personal resort, the bungalows are made of palm wood, and equipped with fans, toilets and showers. There's no warm water here, but high temperatures make it totally unnecessary and you're unlikely to notice its absence. There are also no shops and no restaurants- you really are marooned on a desert island. The welcoming owner usually stops by for a chat and a drink ...

... to him since..and again..I have no idea what his name is. He lives at the gym..and I think he arrived at about the same time as me..but I think I've seen him train twice..I think he spends most of his time at the beach..and drinking at the girly bars. Sigh. But whatever..it takes all kinds. For the rest of the week..random people would come up to me and say... "What happened to your ribs?" and after a while..i learned it was easier just to say.. "Oh..just ...

... we decided to head out for a massage. Kata Beach is very family friendly. There are lots of restaurants, beach front shopping, tourism huts offering day excursions. There are plenty of people out walking with giant umbrellas marked by the name of their respective hotels. In the bustle of soggy tourist we happen upon a side street with a few reputable looking massage places. In the one we choose there are 4 or 5 girls ...

... the storm while on the other side it's sunny and clear. Pretty neat. Following that we went home, got ready, got an amazing seafood dinner for something around 6 dollars with calamari, spaghetti with seafood, etc. Then cam home, passed out for an hour or so while Dominique who wasn't tired started drinking a bit (oh did she regret that later). Once we woke up and after 1 or 2 mix drinks we went out for the most unexpected kind of partying so far. The nightlife here consists of tons and ...

... ihmisiä ja taisipa muutama harvinainen, paikallinen spurgukin olla joukossa. Aseman mies kävi kohteliaasti jengiä herättelemässä, että olis aika lähteä töihin jo :-) Keisei Skylinerillä about tunnissa Naritalle ja siinä oli Japanin osuus reissusta taputeltu...

Its been hot in Phuket! We finally arrived late afternoon on Friday after a 10 hour journey from Ko Samui via mini-bus, ferry to the mainland and bus to Surat Thani. It was here about 20 or so of us looked on in complete bemusement as we were directed to squeeze into a 'Songaethwe' which for a short period of time I thought was going to take us the remaining 4 hour journey to Phuket! Thankfully no and we were directed instead to a local ...
