Had a really quiet day had a bit of a bender last night with Gary the South African who is staying at the My Thai as well. Sat here at the My Thai for a few local beers Singa, actually a really nice beer too only 50 baht or a 1.60. Had four or five beers with Gary, Jeff an English guy who teaches in China and a crew of expats from Australia Col, Tony and Lorraine and a girl name Jen who was actually from Lennox Head wow small world she knows Wilso, Tony Duncombe, Rhonda and the crew from Byron, small world. Me and Gary then we walked up to the main drag of Patong Beach and hit the aussie bar and we got stuck into it and were having quite a few laughs. Ended up talking to another Aussie guy who took us down to this bar, what a classic funny as lets just say that probably needs to be blogged on a rated R site and not in here lol. I only stayed there for one beer after having an absolute laugh at what was going on and left Gary there with some Thai chick basically sitting on his lap, hope you didnt get beaten up Gary lmao
From there started walking back over to the aussie bar and saw a bloke sitting by himself and thought id say gday and he was from the Sutherland Shire in Sydney so we got jibbering and hung out in some bar dont know what it was theres like 200 hundred of them along the main drag. A little later on this American guy strolled in and we all got chatting and he was over from Irag having a break, classic guy we had lots of laughs and lots of drinks. The three of us ened up down in some bar that was open till late and just kept drinking it was getting pretty messy by 3ish so decided to call it a day and head home. We parted ways and I walked the k or two home and crashed out. Was relaxing all day basically not good drinking like that for me these days, I know harden the f(*k up Thommo.
Had to come and get some dinner had a nice Thai dish 6 spring rolls and 2 cokes cost me 280 baht which equates to about 9 aussie dollars cheaps as, if I bought the same thing at the chinese at Brunswick Heads it would of cost me 25 or more dollars.
Food Court set up right out front of the My Thai
Went and booked to go to Ao Nang island tomorrow cost me 650 baht 20 dollars for a taxi pick up and and hour and half ferry ride over to the island again really cheap, ill work out accomadation when i get there but apparently its alot cheaper than here in Patong Beach. looking forward to getting there looks magnificent as all this place is. Its apparently alot qieter with only a few night clubs and basically all ill be doing there is relaxing and getting massages, and no not those type lol
I had a nice Thai massage yesterday Col who owns the the My Thai Guest House told me to go to either A across the road or go up the road to B and get and old lady to give me one and not be harrassed for more so I went with the B option, was so good a one hour massage Karen and not one bloody phone interruption lmao
Me at the My Thai Guesthouse
Anyway quiet night just sitting here on the verandah of the My Thai, Shane the Thai local who works here just came out for a chat, he works two jobs from early morning till 4 then over to here and till late long days the average wage for the Thais for this line of work is 7000 baht a month 224 bucks
Starting to think I might island hope my way through Asia and get a boat from here to South Africa I did the research before and there is only a few from Perth to South Africa but there is heaps from Singapore and other ports up here to Durban so there might be a bit of a change in plan after this little excursion, it would be a nice way to get his leg of the trip done to ride across into Indonesia then island hop it all the way through Asia, that is a decision for another day but its one im defiantly considering at this stage.
Anyway enough of this tomorrow is another day ciao
