After 28 hours of travel by train, tuk tuk, plane, taxi, walking, and ferry we have made it to the island of Koh Phangan. Angie and I almost missed our train because right before hand we had an amazing Thai massage. Feeling a bit too relaxed we went to go get banana french toast when we realized our train was leaving in 30 minutes! We made it on time though after a rushed dash through Chiang Mai. The night before we went to Muay Thai which was pretty awesome. The highlight though had to be topless lady boys dancing to the YMCA.... very interesting... The train to Bangkok from Chiang Mai was pretty sweet as well. We met some Canadians and Americans in the eating compartment of the train which turned into a crazy disco with flashing lights and blaring music during the later half of the night.. Thailand is crazy. When we arrived in Koh Phangan we checked into this absolute hole that I had prebooked through Hostelworld. The owner was sprawled out on the couch like he was in an opium den and Angie took a shower in the bathroom/kitchen- dirty plates everywhere. It was disgusting - so we decided to cut our losses and check into somewhere new.. It has its own pool and is quite basic but nice. Last night we went out on the beach to have some buckets and dance. Angie even tried fire limbo and fire jumping rope. (Don't worry I didn't!) Today we are just going to lounge around and than go out again tonight..
Will post pics later.

Hi honey, sounds like an adventure getting there!! Wow how many massages have you had? I'm glad you got a better place, you don't want to stay somewhere dirty where the owner obviously doesn't care!! Glad to hear you didn't do the fire rope, that sounds scary!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your next pictures, be careful in the sun!
