Tonight departing Bangkok -> Manila, Philippines! See you there!

..

Bangkok Thailand has a LOT of vendors at night selling various delicious items, from roti (from India), to crepes, banana pancakes, fruits, and also BUGS!!!! Ants, grasshoppers, cockroaches, fried frogs, and silkworms! I had to have a taste of the silkworm, they dont taste too disgusting, in fact, if I didnt see it before eating it I would’ve probably enjoyed them LOL

Hua Hin, Thailand is a pretty popular beach city here in Thailand with beautiful Hua Hin beach, I hung out here (yes, I’m currently still here hehe) for 3 days, at the beach, in the mountains and waterfalls of Pa La-U waterfalls, it was a great thing to see, it is becoming more and more littered with dirty human filth but still somehow remains a beautiful place (for now).

Pa La-U waterfalls is AWESOME!!! It’s about a 45 minute taxi from Hua Hin City, then pay 400 baht for a ticket, and hike about 30 minutes to the top of the main waterfalls (Level 5). Absolutely gorgeous!!!! The water is FREEZING cold though, but still worth it to get in and take a swim, and the big fish all come sucking on your leg, it tickles haha!

On the way back from Pa La-U I seen a ton of monkeys, and a WILD elephant!!! It came to the road, stopped and stared at the few cars that stopped to see him, then he stomped back off into the jungle. Was very neat to see, sucks though, somebody will probably kill him for his ivory within a week

..

Also later that night I tried a VERY delicious new Thai treat, called, Khanomcoke, it is some kind of egg/coconut looking mixture that is AWESOME, I love coconut so I fell in love with them right away.

...

I’ve been very interested lately in travelling to parts of Thailand that I’ve never been to before, so I headed south to Chumphon. I found the Chumphon area to be very quiet, and almost every Thai person stared at me and talked and pointed, watched me eat, watched me walk, watched me do nothing, and everything, it was pretty nice, I felt like a celebrity haha. Not many foreigners go down to that area is why, so I’m sure they all wonder, “what the hell is that farang doing here!???”

Anyways, it was nice to see some places, some untainted beaches, some untainted land, a LOT of places I seen were so beautiful, a westerner with lots of money will someday probably go there and build a resort and tear apart it’s beautiful beaches and jungles and islands.

Was a fun experience, I couldnt shit in the toilet for 3 days (the toilets were in the ground, squatter toilets ) LOL and I got to eat FRESH natural honey, right off the honeycomb thingy, it was delicious!

All in all I found Chumphon to be a nice place, but VERY VERY VERY difficult for a person from the west to adapt to, I definately will never stay there for more than 2-3 days hehe!

...

Uncle Tony and Aunt Heidi(bomber) hosted a BIG slumber party with tons of neices, nephews, cousins, and doggies, and I am amazed at how the hell they did it, haha, looks like the rooms were full of little munchkins everywhere!

Too cute, glad you all had a great time, and wish I could be there with ya all, love you Daisy Wiggles, Andy, Pakey, Mazie, Heidi, Tony, Jessica, Maddie, (and who’s the little blonde kid?)

BUT where was Griffey? and Bella? and Bernie? HUH? HUH? HUH? There is no excuse for not getting them over there!!!! (and someday Levi too!)

Dream World Bangkok Thailand is a cool place to relax and have fun, it is near Rangsit Road (about 15min taxi from the heart of Bangkok).

It has quite a few smaller roller coasters, The Galaxy, in pitch dark, (my personal fav), and quite a few more, and you have to try the water rides, they are extremely fun aswell, get VERY wet though so be careful with your camera, phone, etc, I nearly broke my camera while video taping us during the water rides.

Beautiful waterfalls, and also you can go sledding at Snow World, they have freezing cold temperatures, REAL snow and a small hill you can sled down, pretty neat to be sledding in freaking THAI! hehe. I think I’ll be sick soon though, I was dripping wet from the water rides before going into the freezing cold and my feet were totally frozen.

Bangkok Thailand has many places known for having rare and also popular gadgets, the best in the world, with Pantip Plaza, a computer and electronic supermall, and MBK Center (also known as Mahboonkrong or Mabunkrong Center), has floor with TONS of electronics and cell phones and gadgets.

Well, I was walking at MBK looking for a new phone, since I broke my old phone when I accidentally took it with me on the jet ski in Phuket (yes i’m a total retard!)

And I ran into this TINY black phone, the G-net Nano 999, I’ve never seen it anywhere, actually I’ve never seen the company “G-net” listed anywhere either, but I jus HAD to buy it, it is SO tiny, it’s black, sleek, has mp3 player, plays movie clips, camera, has it ALL!!!!

.

Well, the downside to it is it has VERY low battery life, actually the worst battery life I’ve ever seen in a cell phone, BUT at least they give 2 batteries, so 1 is charging while 1 is being used, so that is nice. Also the keys seem pretty cheapy.

All in all, the phone is awesome, glad to have found it!!! Thanks MBK and G-net!!!!! By the way, the cost I paid was 4500baht, that is about $135USD, so not bad priced either.

Cnet review of the Gnet Nano 999 is here.

EDIT: fyi, warning, the batteries for this phone get so worn down that it lasts only about 45 minutes talk time per battery for a full charge

Heading to Phnom Penh Cambodia again to clear up some technical sh*t about me staying here in Thailand for so long. I will post any pics if I get any worthwhile ones. Hope everyone is good

You know you are living in 2007 when…………………..

1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.

2. You haven’t played solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.

4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don’t have e-mail addresses.

6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.

7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.

8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn’t have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cau se for panic and you turn around to go and get it.

10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your
coffee.

11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile.
: )

12. You’re reading this and nodding and laughing.

13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.

14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.

15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn’t a #9 on this list

AND NOW YOU ARE LAUGHING at yourself.

Remember my blog post a while back about the beautiful beach resort in Patong beach in Phuket Thailand? Well I just finished the short vacation there, staying at this beautiful place called Burasari Resort on Patong Beach. It was totally beautiful!

Here is the post from my trip before to Phuket -> Phuket trip 2005

I rented a motorbike to get around the city, and also went on a jet ski for the very 1st time EVER! It was SO AWESOME!!! I ended up going on again. I am going to save up and buy one eventually, it was just too fun to not have one of them.

..

I also went to the famous Phuket Simons Cabaret show, it is a really cool, neat, interesting, and funny show with ALL post-op kathoeys (a kathoey is same as a ladyboy) hahaha

Here is the beautiful sunset from Phuket Thailand, I will call this picture “Sunset in Paradise”
