JUST ANOTHER CITY

what a wonderful place i’m literally sick and tired from this city and I cant wait to get out and get back to the beach and away from here, my health keeps fluctuating but I think its getting better now at least I can walk and eat a bit maybe another night of sleep will do but Ayu was really nice and so was the boat trip and i’m glad its my last night in this hotel, the worst one so far with no view.

OH YEAH

, what a day well not today, thou I did go to the grand palace, but yesterday on tour quite an amazing day and met john from Nigeria and made it to Patpong, good all round but I long for a bar where I can just have a drink in peace and relax, but saw a few things snake show, crocodile show, traditional Thai dancing/fighting/wedding, and the floating market and walking down Silom Rd with all the markets and bars, it’s a dirty city thou and my lungs are paying the price also my throat , but back on the Tom Yum for the first time in a couple of weeks thou I need some rice and another tour tomorrow which will be good to see some more temples.

LEFT INSTEAD OF RIGHT

nice day today got lost for a bit taking a left instead of a right, but got to go to Wat Pho, and see an amazingly massive, and beautiful Buddha statue and went driving around town, which was nice, and went to MBK, a huge shopping centre and then just ended up walking around and found Patpong, which was interesting and will be going down there tomorrow to check it out depending on how I feel after the tour tomorrow.

RICH/POOR

, Bangkok-Woodlands Inn- Charoen Kaung Rd, Bangrak, warm, finally made it to Bangers after a shocker of a bus ride, well not so bad, with 2 valiums, and about 7 hours sleep, still hurting from Wat Tham Saeu, and just been walking around Bangkok seeing a few sites a lot different than other place but the traffic and the air is shocking, the fumes are quite bad as a blanket of gas hovers over through and around the streets the area i’m in is a bit quieter which is good, its weird walking the streets of a nothing country where most people don’t speak the same language and even a fewer who make fun and find you abnormal and seeing the poor people around, and the amount of children around how will the fair is such a country.

BEAUTIFUL PAIN

1237 steps what a bloody killer, absolutely amazing though Wat Tham Saeu, this place does have its beauty, but you have to go and find it, and finally got my necklace piece, just need the necklace, absolutely buggered thou, physically drained, and losing weight after gaining about 6 kg, in Patong, now my journey can begin, as planned but it was all definitely worth it now with a 2 week break before millsy hopefully I’ll be back to normal by then, time certainly slows when one is silent alone and not drunk.

WHAT AM I DOING

now that i’m on my own for the longest part I truly enjoy it, its also a lot cheaper quieter and relaxing having spent most of my time sleeping walking and watching football and some reading its so much quieter here than I thought with most places closed by almost 9/10 and bars closing 12/2 it’s a lot more relaxing and a lot less hectic, WHAT AM I DOING, WHERE AM I GOING

SO GOOD, BUT SO BAD

Krabi- Chao Fah Guest, hot and then wet, and then cold, not as good as Jintana but it will do for four nights and amazing 2 weeks mainly sick though with the worst urinary infection, soooooooooooooooooooooo painful but good to get away from Patong and some where new and a little more quiet and away from the beach, who would have thought I would get so attached to people after one month, I don’t even know how I feel about them, one in particular but I know I will miss them always and that it has certainly been a month of firsts, with a lot of memories and a hell of a lot more friends, than I thought I would ever make, maybe I’ll be back who knows where my path will lead but I hope hope its not like this everywhere I stay because it will get harder and harder to leave each time maybe its good practice but who the hell knows, never did I imagine that people would like me so much, its weird people like me but don’t know why.
2:00 am, its weird how you can miss people after so little I never thought it would happen that I would meet such a good group of people so quickly and fall so fast but did climb twice as fast and high, not to mention a ball breaker of trip on the back of a motorbike with my pack on hanging on for dear life what a rush.


In the Garden of Solitude

 T he stillness where shadows whisper,   I wander the garden of my solitude,   Amongst the withered petals of hope,   Fear blooms like a nig...
