Just Say NO To Bugs In Thailand!!!!

3/4/04

Sawadee Krup dudes, dudettes and other furry monsters…

Well, we are currently sitting in an internet cafe on Rai Leh Beach in Southern
Thailand after a gruelling 26 hour trip from Ko Chang Island near the Cambodian border where we have been seriously chilling for the last few days…

…Yep, the last few days we’ve been festering our a’rses off slumming in beach bungalows only meters from the waters edge, snorkeling, getting $6 massages and living totally on prawns and squid which has been really COOL and very relaxing….

…although I reckon that if we hear any more Bob Marley on this trip, our pubes are going to start to grow into dreadlocks….

Anyways, we reckon we totally deserved a bit of a dreadlock holiday since traveling through Cambodia completely shagged us senseless!!!

Don’t get us wrong, we really, really enjoyed Cambodia but the poverty, the constant begging and the haemorrhoid busting roads totally made travelling around really emotionally draining and gave us a sore ar’se at the same time… Continue reading

Basically, we were on a bullet boat, which is really just a cigar shaped boat with a very big jet engine. It’s normally supposed to only seat 90 people but somehow they managed to squeeze over 130 people on it which really sucked since most people had to sit on the roof and the boat almost rolled over twice…!!!

We were pretty shit scared since we were crammed into the middle of the boat almost below the waterline and the seats were so tight that we had to sit in them in fetal position… and not only that, but there was only one exit out of the boat which was rusted shut and the boat was leaking, so if we capsized we would have been more dead than a very dead thing which is actually quite dead!!!
