Well im here for 5 more days. It seems June's full moon was slightly earlier then I had thought and thus i don't need to get a new visa in order to stay on for it. However i have a flight to catch the day after, which could be problematic. I've spoken to many people at these parties at 8-9 am saying how they've got a ferry to catch in 15 minutes but they can't even remember where their room is. I'm determined not to be that guy, I'll have to take it a bit more easy then say, the last half moon party 3 days ago where I lost my adidas trainers. Easily done I know.
As for other news? Well i was kicked out of my resort (which i had overstayed my welcome by about 3 weeks) because they were overbooked and needed my room. I moved down the road to a decent, cheaper place lacking in air con and neighbouring people who believe a door has to be slammed at 1000 decibels otherwise its just not worth bothering. How is a guy supposed to sleep at 2 in the afternoon? I saw some thai boxing, for free out of the back of Harvey's bar, one of the fights was 2 kids who couldn't have been older then 8, quite brutal. The only thai boxing I'd seen prior to this was a brawl on the street between 2 thai guys involved in a fender bender of which one ended up getting knocked unconcious....then having his head banged against the concrete road. I also saw a guy drive his moped into the curb and fly over the pavement into a ditch. It made me grimace somewhat but its entirely natural on this island. Most people are sporting the renowned 'Ko Pha Ngan Tattoo' which consists of a big graze on their leg or arm, from such a fall. I think i'm the only person i know not to fall off so far (touching wood) even Brad fell off yesterday (he's fine).
To have driven a moped for a month and not fallen off is quite a feat, thought i nearly ran over a kitten yesterday. Someone had dumped it in the front basket of my moped and me starting the engine had frightened it, made it jump out and then it seeked the spokes of the wheel for security. It was unscathed but still homeless. But seeing as Brad is staying here for another month or 2 he offered to look after it. Seeing him drive down the road with a kitten in the basket of his moped was a sight to behold.
The next blog will come from Singapore, I'm looking forward to moving on as too many times in this last month or so I've been the one seeing others move on whilst I remained stationary. It can get a bit annoying staying in the same place for too long, watching people pass through. On the 19th, I will leave Thailand....For now.
