I have to say South Thailand has been a bit of a disappointment. I was in a bad mood my first couple of days for a number of reasons. 1. I was still a little sick from Pai. 2. I was watching Fox News listening to Replubicans that make me mad and worrying about my country. 3. Hating all the overweight white tourists overtaking the beauty of south Thailand. It would be ok if they all came and were appreciating the culture and beauty as is but all the most beautiful beaches are now over run with resorts and shopping and everything else you would find back home. Its just harder to get to the sweet spots. My advice to anyone that wants to experience paradise in south Thailand you need to get away from all the main cities and beaches and drive out until you see nothing but Thai people and small villages then head over to the beach. That is where you will find culture and beauty. There is also a lot of tsunami remnants is some areas. So far in South Thailand we rode our motorcycles from Phuket to Ao Nang near Krabi then past Khao Sok over to Khao Lak and then back to Phuket. The most beautiful locations were in between each destination. We also took a boat from Ao Nang to West Rai Lai beach where we found huge spiders, monkeys crawling all over people and eating there bananas, and water caves. Touristy but still cool. At a beach near Khao Lak I popped a wheelie on my bike and broke the license plate off which cost about 20 bucks to fix. But it was worth it. The thing I regret most about South Thailand is not picking a spot and staying. We have been on the move constantly and have not had much time to soak it all up. We leave for Koh Phan Ngang tomorrow where I plan on soaking it up until the Full Moon Party. Biggest party in Thailand. The islands are going to be packed with tourists but we still gotta experience it. Im looking forward to finding a hammock on a beach and vegging out for at least one full day.
