Ko Phangan

The girls just got back today. All been eaten alive by bugs. Molly was the first one who approached me and said "I sort of wish I was you". The other girls seemed to think it was worth it though. I'm still glad I didn't go. Don't think I would've enjoyed it.

But anyways, I've been having a great time these past couple of days. I met this Austrian girl, Verina, who comes from the same town as Renee, the boy I met on the beach. Anyway, she's staying here for a few months and will be flying to Bali next month. She's a regular actually, been coming here for the past three years.

I got a free ride to the Thongsala on the back of her scooter. It was pissing down, and am glad I at least had my raincoat on. I couldn't keep my eyes open because the heavy rain kept getting in them. But still, we had a good chat and been hanging out quite a bit since.

Renee is a poor bugger. This hasn't been the smoothest holiday for him. First he got bitten by the bungalow's dog. Then he got sick for a couple of days. And just last night, he twisted his foot on the slippery floor and now it's all swollen.

Oh and I met a couple of other guys too. Older guys I should say. They're regulars. Barry, a Canadian who runs a fishing resort back in Canada and spends six months in Thailand every year. He's even got a house here down the coast somewhere. What a life. And I briefly met Neil, an Aussie from Byron who's been living here for 7 years.

It's been raining and overcast a lot, which is a good weather for sleeping in and lazing around reading and hanging out. I had a Thai massage yesterday, which was excellent. And it only cost 200 bahts.

I've started to feel at home at Seaflower, and I told them I want to come back here. Boy, the son of one of the girls who runs the restaurant there, has gotten hooked on my O2.

The sun finally came out this morning, and I spent sometime lying on the beach, reading my third book and listening to Jack Johnson. Paradise, I tell ya.

It's rained again since, but I didn't really mind.

Anyway, I came to the internet cafe to find Bonnie and Emma, and they're gone now. So I better go.
