who knows
Saturday, March 11th, 2006hello. so i met tida at the bus station and we spent the next 24 hours chatting and catching up incesently. dan went to a friends house in chonburi, about an hour from bangkok so we had the place to ourselves and endless hours of talk time. i cooked a nice panang curry for us and we talked and talked and decided that tida’s brain was a bit too mashed from cambodia to not do somethign abotu it so we searched for meditation retreats and the next day we ate some beccofinos and took a super luxrious bus down to surrathani where we then caught a ferry to koh phangnan at thong sala pier, a taxi to had rin, and a small fishing boat to had tien beach.
we stayed at a great little bungalow called love and lips where we ran into katinka our super quirky friend from koh mak. we spent two days there with the funny chracters mr. love and mr. lee who ran the bungalows. then tida wanted to go check out this one center called wat khao thom so we headed back to had rin. had rin is the super hectic euro party goer spot where the full moon parties happen. life here is like a roxy ad- everyone with bleached blonde hair, small bikins and tattoos. not exactly our scene. we met some turkish guys who put us up for two nights at their home above their travel agency. i spent most of the first two days trying to change my ticket which is becoming increasingly difficult as it seems that no JAL office in the world wants to take responsibility for my ticket. i spent the third day, yesterday at a beautiful beach about 15 minute walk from the craziness which was almost totally empty. very nice. i swam and sunbathed and read and was very happy not to be flipping out running from fax machine to copier to travel agency and back.
today jess went to baan thai, the beach near her retreat. she will be in the retreat from the 13th to the 22nd. i don’t know exactly what to do. if i can’t extend my ticket i will have to fly to chiang mai tomorrow to take another thai massage course that starts on monday and lasts 5 days. if i can extend my ticket i would like to spend a few more days at a beach called thong nai pan but really i need to make a decision faster than JAL can get back to me so probably i will fly to chiang mai tomorrow regardless other wise i will screw myself out of the option of taking anothr course if i need to fly home on march 28th instead of april 19th as i would like very much to do as dan has i nvited me to his village which i would like to see and also i would like to go to pai near chiang mai ad just generally not be totally rushing liek a mad woman out of thailand.
i will keep everyone posted as things unfold… slowly.
