Chill Time

After steam rolling through a total of 8 cities in just over two weeks it was time "disconnect man" and check out these much spoken of Thai islands.

Almost by mistake we stumbled upon Tarutau National Park, and decided that this would be our home for the next week.

I found some really nice beach bungalows located at the Porn resort. Now I know what you will all be thinking back home, Thailand, porn resort, two young lads on tour!!!. Well cleanse your dirty minds as it was far from a swingers paradise, porn happens to be a very common name in Thailand.Talking about names imagine the looks on our face when the bar tender introduced himself as shit.

The bungalow was a snap at 3 quid a night, only snag is that me and Joe had to share a bed in our little love nest. The washing area that consisted of a bucket and bowl was often visited my numerous creatures thoughout the day. On one occasion a rat fell on my shoulder as I was squatting doing my Thai wash moves, so I killed it with my swiss army knife!!!! Did I b###lks, I ran out of the bungalow half naked screaming like a little girl.

The family who ran the bungalows were lovely, and we had many a laugh with them trying to communicate. I really had a go at learning Thai whilst there, one of my favorite sayings being 'yaman yaman yaman' which means very good very good.

The only drawback to my crash course in Thai, which  unfortunately I realised as I was trying to impress the locals on the boat back, was that it was a cross between Malaysian and Thai, and unless my immediate plans were to settle on the island and join forces with shit in the hospitality sector were of very little use! . So after a week of hard work it was still non pua on the Thai speaking front!

Rumors of the Thai beaches are certainly true, beautiful white sands and crystal clear waters as far as the eye can see. After having spent our hard earned money on beer and dodgy fake clothes for the past month we decided to invest in a worthwhile project and obtain our pady scuba diving certification. This was money well spent as the varieties of fish and coral reefs are truly breathtaking.

Well the old dear was flying into Bangkok so it was goodbye to island life and off to the land of go go bars and dirty old men.
