My last stop in Thailand!

Sunday, June 25th, 2006

From Bangkok I boarded another bus from hell and headed east to the Island of Ko Chang. Ko Chang pretty much lies at the border to Cambodia. It is extremely relaxed here and very very cheap. My Bungalow on the beach cost me 100 Baht per night. That’s about $2.50 to be spitting distance to the beach and be surrounded my Coconut Palms. Don’t get me wrong the room isn’t special, just a bed with a mosquito net but i’ll take it. The shower is really amazing. It’s a room outside with a huge concrete pool of water and a few bowls. You dip the bowl’s into the water, dump the water over your head and, presto, you have a shower. It’s very quiet here and truly a tropical paradise. The Island itself is pretty big, mostly covered in Rainforest and lush green vegetation. I don’t understand why they continue to let this Rainforest stuff just grow everywhere, it’s such a nuissance. One day I will start a campaign to rid the world of it once and for all. I’m spending one more night here in Ko Chang with my friend Andy and then we are off to Cambodia. It could go down hill from here as I’ve heard a ton of crazy things about Cambodia. But I figure…what’s the worst that can happen and besides,

“When am I ever going to be in Cambodia again.”

The border is usually a mess and getting anywhere on the roads, or dirt paths, is also another treat. I’m ready for it. Cause i’m good enough, i’m smart enough, and dog-gonit people like me!

I don’t want a (expletive) Suit!

Sunday, June 25th, 2006

Sorry, i just ran into the middle of central Bangkok and screamed that and I thought you should know. Being in Bangkok for about 5 days and being asked at least 1 million times per day if you would like a suit can push you extremely close to the edge. I know you read my rant about Taxi’s and Tuk-Tuk’s but the suit thing is absolutely ridiculous. What the hell are these people thinking? One one street they have suit shop, after suit shop, after suit shop. The only people walking by these places are budget backpackers who are traveling most likely because they are against working and therefore don’t need or want a suit. I wouldn’t buy a suit from these guys if they put a gun to my head. They all try to get your attention with stupid sayings like, “G’day Mate.” No, i’m not australian. It really takes alot not to want to walk over and grab a guy by the shirt and lift him off the ground, stare right into his eyes with foam coming out of your mouth and say:

“With all that’s holy in this world, if you ever ask me If i want a suit again I swear they will never find your body.”

Then put him slowly down to the ground, smile, and say, “have a nice day…bitch.”

Ok, so enough of the rage. Bangkok is a city that can absolutely blow your mind. It is extremely intense, chaotic, and full of trouble. The traffic in Bangkok would make the 93 Expressway going south into Boston for the A.M. commute look like True Bean Way (that’s the street my parents live on). At all the stoplights they have digital clocks counting the seconds down until the light will change, i think that is a great idea. They also have these huge digital boards that outline the neighboring streets and color code them either, red, green, or yellow to designate wether or not they are congested so you can take another route. The heat and air pollution in Bangkok can absolutely crush you. Taking a breathe during midday is comparable to the hit you take off a 4 foot tall water bong. The coughing, the hacking and the dizziness that follow are exactly the same…well…that’s what i’ve been told…I mean, I don’t actually know. Food in Bangkok is pretty cheap as well. You can get a plate of noodles and a spring roll for about 25 Baht which is about 60 cents. A beer will set you back by about “a dollah twenty five.”

Bangkok is really just one of those cities that everyone needs to experience. If it doesn’t make you panic or murder someone in the first two days then you will probably be fine. Patience is your best friend in a city like Bangkok. I know some of you may laugh at that for me but I’ve honestly become so tolerant of some things that I know most people would cringe at. You sometimes just really need to throw yourself right into the battle and see where you end up. After 5 days in Bangkok, i finnally got my visa for Vietnam and headed east to the Island of Ko Chang on the Cambodian border.
