Twin Lotus Hotel Nakorn Si Thammarat

... with relearners in association -- that co-manifests gradual, evergrowing individual <> communal sanctity <> authenticity <> frugality sharing co-innovations among self-qualified travelers roaming, co-extending NGPRO relearning camps;

That superflously spill over unto naive surroundings -- that's always awakening some ones ticking along relearning co-extending our journey-in-life ring road nation-wide, glob-wide.

... to a stuffed animal and a padlock to lock our room..The sheets were disgusting, there was hugh spider in what look like the bathroom but had a dirt floor. I sat there and was like NO!!! I looked at my friend and told her I was not going to stay here. I couldn't. I would rather sleep on the beach than to lay anything on that bed. All the other travelers were excited and ready to get drunk...They could tell i was not happy with the place ...

Hey

yesterday had a wikid day canoeing in the mangrove swamps and in the caves (although was slightly scary) but then on the way back MASSIVE rain storm and we got soaked - was fun though - instead of the beach we went to an aquarium! it was nice!

we are staying in a very non tourist area and we get starred at EVERYWHERE - quite annoying - we also get quite a few people coming up to us and ...

... hiding behind a phone box. We made it to the Tourist office initially thinking that the water fights were quite tame. After getting some information and meeting this middle-aged Thai dude called Terry who offered to guide us round the city walls later for free, we headed towards the city's famous holy temple Wat Phra Mahathat. In a nearby city park were loads of free food stalls and we accosted by loads of Thai women and offered tonnes of food! [Rich: The free food ...

... place to end our trip. We were greeted with true Thai hospitality and cold, large, fresh coconut drinks. Our rooms were huge and decked out with an extra large king size bed, a lerge day bed and gorgeous fittings. The bathroom had a natural feel about it with a waterfall like showerhead and a small garden in the corner. I can only really comment on the hotel and not much on Kho Samui itself as I was still laid up in bed and couldn't go far. We did ...

... us chartering an old 60 foot schooner for the weekend to take us to the islands. I am doing things here that I would never be able to do at home so I feel like I definitely need to stay and take advantage of it while I still can. For now, this is the end. I know I probably left out some pretty important events, but I am sure things will be remembered in the next entry. Thanks to those of you still reading and I apologize for being so bad with updates. More coming soon!

... once the weekends hit. Today my students took a Pre-Test (requirement to give and it's another ******** item and policy of the school) and then I let them go...ummm yeah, I let them out 2 hours early, but they did take the test and it's the first day. Anyways, around 2 o'clock I walked across the street to eat rice (lunch) and the majority of the boys in my class were sitting and drinking beer and smoking. Fantastic way to spend your afternoon boys. They are great ...

... bed, western toilets, meals without rice... It took about a week and a "Blue Moon" party to get me back into the Thai way. Gone is the Thai boyfriend... that was just too much to deal with upon coming back. Teaching was exhausting the week I got back but I struggled through it and then went to Koh Phangan for the weekend and the Blue Moon party. Words cannot begin to describe what the party ...

... the bars on East Rai Ley. We saw Gecko's bar, but ended up at The Last Bar (ironically the last bar on the end of the island!). We got happy hour cocktails and played a few games of pool. Met some other travellers that hang out here alot and then got to watch some fire twirling, which was amazing stuff. Today we headed off on a speed boat across a very rough sea. We were sitting in the front and we were bouncing around and smashing ...

... motorbikes and cars roaring down the middle. Lots of hungry customers, rats and cockroaches included. The first day there we walked around town to some of the main attractions. We went to a Buddhist temple which is the second largest in Thailand. Huge golden Buddha statues lined the walls, while people came in and knelt in front of many and prayed while holding incense sticks. In the museum, inside the temple, was a gigantic reclining Buddha (I was the ...
