thailand

for a person that doesn't eat thai cuisine at all in new york...in fact, i actually try to avoid it when peers suggest places to eat, I LOVE THE FOOD HERE...oh my goodness, everything is soo insanely flavorful from the generic pad thai dishes to the extra wonderfully tasty tom yum goong....even all the home made cuisine on all the tours i've taken have been surprisingly delectable....

so i've finally hit the one place on my trip that i'd definitely like to revisit....oh...keep in mind that i've only been to phuket so far...5 days there..and i just landed in bangkok today....which reminds me...5 days of NO EMAIL AND MY INBOX IS EMPTY....U HOMO'S...what are you guys doing!?@#?@!.....anyways...landed in phuket on the 19th...and well...kind of spent the first night DRUNK due to joannes 5 shots of JD in 10 minutes....and the next day hungover....laying on the typical thai beach movie depiction.... the islands of thailand are a geographical wonder....its mezmerizing to be waking up to clear blue skies and sunshine day after day....i've caught sunset 2 or 3 days in a row....and the view of all the islands in the horizon line just makes everything more surreal....i'd maybe even go as far to say that my day trip to hong and panak island into bat caves and lagoons was a wasted trip....despite how awesome i thought the views were that day...because the next 2 days...my eyes almost ppopped out of the sockets....

2 days...6 dives...and ur looking at an advanced open water diver...yahoo! (hot swede blonde instructor didnt hurt either)....didn't catch a manta on the deep dive (next time im heading to hte similans)....that was a rough dive too.....racha noi proved pretty rough..and a bit sea sick for me....but the NIGHT DIVE at racha yai was INCREDIBLE...oh man...night diving is quite an experience....i get trigger friendly....so when i get those pictures developed i'll post them up...wait 2 weeks again.....the next day....I SAW A TURTLE!?@#!@....3M long turtle just hanging out underneath me then swimming right next to me..dum dee dum.......whoa!

so....of course i'm the backpacker known for "not roughing it" and spent my nights in patong beach at a pretty top end bungalow resort....not too shabby if i actually spent more time there.....spent most of the nights soaking in the lights of this one street ( can't remember the name)...but one street with bars packed basically on top of each other....and whores oozing out of its pores....if you get lucky....a lady boy will be gleaming out in ur face belting out his girly mannish voice........NUTS.....i hear pattaya is an even bigger party...but i'll soon find out.....

alrighty....8 days in bangkok....7 now....maybe less if i head to pattaya....until then...

merry xmas.....
