I’ve been trying to cut down on my drinking lately, I didn’t touch a drop for three whole days! This brings other problems, I needed to find something to fill my time in the evenings if I’m not getting drunk.

So last night around 7pm I decided I would do something healthy and go for a walk, I strolled for about 15 minutes until I came across a bar! I thought hey, one drink won’t hurt!

I came home 12 hours later after spending the evening in the bar and then heading to Haad Rin to hit a club. And… Continue reading →

It seems I am destined to share my house with all sorts of weird creatures. Here is a picture of one of a pair of mantis I found today in the bathroom. This one I managed to free, his friend is being a little awkward so he can stay in there!

I also found a cool place up the north end of the island, it’s a freshwater lake, I stopped to try out a restaurant there and when I sat down at the table and looked across the lake I could have been in England, check this out, doesn’t look… Continue reading →

Well I have been on the island a week and I’m already having money problems, but the good kind! I just can’t spend the stuff!

Let’s take a look at my spending for today;

Breakfast – Bought a pack of Marlboro and a cup of coffee.

Lunch – 3 glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice and a plate of crispy noodles with chicken and basil.

Driving back from Haad Rin I stopped at a bar and had a couple more glasses of juice cos’ it was bloody hard work driving over that damn mountain. One hill was so steep going… Continue reading →

As promised, here is a blog all about my house! I moved in yesterday, everything went very smoothly thanks to Malee from www.phanganisland.com

This is my place, it’s reached from a really long palm edged driveway that’s just sand, it’s hell at night on my scooter.

There are 4 houses in the development, I’m in the corner which means I have wild jungle to the left and behind the house, this is what the jungle looks like from my porch.

It’s not a big house, about the size of a single apartment back home but it’s well equipped and everything… Continue reading →

I finally left Bangkok yesterday evening, sad to leave the old place, I was just getting the hang of it. But I guess enough is as good as a feast, time to go chill for a bit.

I jumped on the 7:30pm sleeper train from Bangkok to Surit Thani, what a nightmare that turned out to be! The train was an hour late and 30 minutes after I boarded they turned all the seats into beds, so I was forced into prison inside a little sleeper cell for 12 fucking hours! Here is what it looked like with me in… Continue reading →
