Here's the sight of the “freeman hair massacre”. I figured that asking them to use the clippers on my hair would be fairly safe. A local recommended that I not get my haircut on the island and I should have listened. NO, you don't get a picture of it! Basically, she took a razor and was trying to shave above my ears and went to high. I felt like forest gump. Then she shaved my face (which seemed like a good idea) and cut me four times. “Welcome to Koh Tao. Have a nice day!”
back on the motorbike, I was looking for a spot called “golden view”. I'm a sucker for views and with the name “golden”, it has to be good. I apparently took a wrong turn somewhere and ended up at their landfill.
This picture doesn't do the roads justice, but I really needed a dirt bike and not a little scooter. Other people took ATVs up the hill. I made it up to “golden view” without incident only to find that it was a restaurant that was closed. And they wanted 50 baht to see the view! Ain't no way i'm spending $1.66 on something that should be free. So I left, pictureless. Unfortunately, on the way down the steep ass hill, I crashed. And when I say “crash”, I mean the front tire slipped on a rock going 1 mph and I had to jump off the bike. One tiny little cut. BUT, the place keeps their bikes in brand new condition and I had to pay $150 to replace the parts that were scratched. Mediocre dives, butcher stylists, no-so-golden views and a motorbike mishap, this island wasn't speaking to me. Best move on before something really bad happens!
On koh phagnan, I played some pool w/ a local and an irish chick. Later, the local offered up her services. I told her that I like men.
On this island, they have a world famous “full moon party”. Here's a pre-party picture taken days before.
The next night, I ventured out to a different bar so I don't have to tell that girl i'm gay again. This chick kicked my ass at connect-4 several times. Anyway, we were laugh & having a good time when the bartender came up to me and said, “you know, she'll go home with you tonight, but you have to pay the bar for her.” thanks, but no thanks, pimp daddy. But hey, the girl could play connect-4.
I spent the day of the full moon party relaxing in a hammock & reading. This is a view from my room.
Early on at the party. Essentially, it's 12 or so bars serving cheap alcohol on the beach. The beach later on filled up. This month was smaller, but the previous month had around 20,000 people.
Lots of alcohol. Lots.
Here's me jumping rope which happens to be on fire.
And you gotta love boxing on a pole! We both got one punch in before we fell off. Yes, I won. I went undefeated the whole night.
After a couple boats & buses, I arrive at koh phi phi. This is the place that was hit hardest by the tsunami. Basically, that whole town was destroyed.
On the way to koh phi phi, I met some super fun ozzies. Here's us having a few beers with dinner along with some english chicks i met on the street.
The results of those strong buckets were an inability to sit on the chair. In their defense, the chairs weren't entirely stable to begin with... and the buckets were really strong...
here's an action shot of one of the buckets.
Our hotel was on the other side of the island. We walked through the jungle to get to town and the ozzies wisely took a boat back after drinking. I figured I could make it back (in the dark through the jungle), so I stuck around with the english chicks. After I tried to walk away from the bar and realized I was having trouble even finding where the path through the jungle started, I reconsidered. I ended up sleeping on the floor at the english chick's place. That tile floor was mighty comfy!
Here's me after a 2 hour hike back the next day. I got home @ noon.
man vs beast... (this was on a tour of the islands around koh phi phi)
this is so not what you think it is...
lunch break with my fellow snorkelers.
i didn't take nearly enough nature pictures during our snorkel tour, but it's really pretty out here!
this video has nothing to do with anything other than i find it amusing and i have no palin jokes left for you:
having a great time out here. i'll probably be in koh phi phi for another day or two before i head out to some other island. railay, perhaps.

Dude, would have been funny if the girl had then gone on to reveal her manly parts and offered to satisfy your homosexua needs?? What would you have dne then? I think the gay line isnt the best when the country is 33% ladyboys!
oooo.... damn, i didn't think about that.... well, she was like 4'8", so i'm sure she wasn't a ladyboy. but i'll come up with a better excuse next time...
HA! that was the first thing i thought of too! thailand is probably the most likely of places where you'd get instant satisfaction, regardless of the way you swing. something for everyone, i guess.
