Could a Summer holiday be more beautiful?

Recommended Posts

A few photos from Thailand.
The first photo is 7am on the island of Koh Samui, Great outlook on the day:|

Second photo.......2 seconds later the bike fell over, fucking hysterical!

Last photo is a shot from one of my resort windows.

If anyone knows thailand, the thais have sure learnt how to make money, The islands are no way as cheap as they use to be.

Was having fun until i logged into my online banking.:(
I use to think you could live cheaply over here, I am going through more money than i have on any other holiday.

Fav things so far was seeing the british, sweedish and kiwis kick some thai ass at the thai boking tonight, Hiring an ATV and getting lost on the mountain while meeting thais that lived in huts and them sharing fruit with us, oh and of course jet skiing every morning.

There seems to be more british pubs over here than in britian though and is a real shame seeing Mcdonalds full of westerners when there is so much excellent thai food to be eaten.

Awesome last shot, Gary.
Any chance you will be passing back through SDC on the way home?

Dude, have a great time out there

But please do me a favour and go see the Gibbon Rescue/ Rehabilitation centre on Phuket. My best friend worked there and saw firsthand the result of things such as photo 3..... :S

The whole monkey thing..we went to a monkey show last time and left right as we got in the gates and saw all the monkeys on chains.

This monkey was on the street and fair enough it may have been harmed growing up but i kind of got the feeling it was a well loved pet as it was such a loving animal that seemed to really enjoy people.... However i may be wrong and it may have been through abuse but it was one year old and was in no way aggressive and unhappy like the 'show' monkeys at the parks.

People do have monkeys as pets and i do believe this was a well looked after monkey... On that note i did not pay for the photo, and there were no chains in sight

Sorry dude but first off i think its a gibbon which makes it not a monkey, and second, they are obtained by the mothers being killed and the babies being taken away. When they get to sexual maturity age 6 or 7 they become violent and are dumped or killed. That point is when my friend used to get them, and believe me these animals were fucked up.
I'm glad you didn't pay, and i'm really sorry to harp on because thailand is an awesome place and i truly hope your having a good time, but i spent just a week at this place www.gibbonproject.org and this shit makes me sad.

well he is hanging out at places like Koh Samui, which is just an lsland resort.
There is SO SO much more to Thailand than those places. AND it is VERY cheap to live there. Try NOT jumping on jet ski's and doing all the tourist trap stuf:D:D:D you can do all that sort of shite anywhere.
Thailand is an amazing place you just need to leave the tourist centres:)
You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky)
My Life ROCKS!

Am leaving in a couple of hours to Koh Tao.
Squeak, hired an ATV and took it up the mountain, got lost for many hours and spent lot of time with different thais in their little villages of coconut pickers. I feel like that was pretty authentic.
I am not one for the tourist shit but sometimes ou have to just fall in line. Koh Tao should get me away from all this chawaeng beach nonsense, I am really saddened how the beaches are just a place for the indians to harrass you into buying a suit. Worse now though, now there is aussies and germans riding scooters and trying to make you buy time shares


Anout the gibbons... that is tru;ey sad.

Bangkok was an amazing place to be on the kings birthday, the whole city was wearing yellow.
