After my short stint in Bali I arrived in Thailand ont he 8th. Thai Air is a great airline, probably one of the best I have flown. Bangkok was crazy, much bigger then I had thought. I met up with Eric there and we stayed at a really nice hotel on the water for 3 nights. I met up with my cousin Skylar who lives there now and he showed us around a little. The temple is something to see. Very Asian style roofs and archtecture. Gold and colors everywhere. I saw the famous reclining, sitting, and standing Budda.

Got to keep reminding myslelf not to drink the water. You have to buy bottled water all the time. It is ok because it comes out to about 25-50 cents depending on the size. All the taxi drivers and shops try to rip people off. I have become a very good bargainer.

I bought a custom made designer suit. It would probably cost about $900 in the states, but it was only $205 here and I got a custom shirt and silk tie with it. Now I have a suit for whatever reason.

I have never been to a place where so little people speak English. It is very ahrd to communicate but Im managing. Maybe they are just pretending not to speak so they can rip you off, who knows?

The main backpackers road is Koh San road, about a 10 min walk from the hotel. It is extremly lively and filled with bars, music, shops, and backpackers. Then there are also the hookers, lady boys, and the homeless. Bangkok is a very hecktic jungle of a city.

Yesterday we left bangkok and flew into Koh Samui island and took a boat to Koh Phangan. The boat ride was the most trecherous I ahev ever been on. It was so rocky that I almost fell off twice. Lots of people got sick. We arrived on this beachy jungle island and got to our"4 star hotel". More like a 1 1/2 star. The worst hotel I ahev ever been in, but it will do.

Today we rented motercycles and drove around the Island a little and through the jungle. Tonight is the Full Moon Party and I am ready to party. It goes from sun down to sunrise and more. They say it doesnt kick off until 5am. They sell bucket mixed drinks here with about 6 shots in each for about $5. I visited the beach last night and it was a min party. So tonight is gonig to be a huge party/ beach rave. They are having fire spinners and painting booths., and about 50 bars along the beach.
