Local transport

An early version pre-dating the German model that became so successful. Ahem, I think I need a new script writer, the gags are not improving any.

Not another damn sunset

Look, not very much happens around here apart from the sun coming up and going down. Anyway I feel I should point out that this is actually about 20 minutes after sunset. See, no sun. Savvy photographers and beach bums know to wait a little longer.

Cliched shot of a beach

Ooh, never seen that angle before Rick, apart from in National Geographic about 1000 times. 3/10 – must try harder.

It’s a sign!

I spied a mysterious glowing light in the midle of the jungle…

Devil Child

Pat has a devil painted on the back of his head at the full moon party, just to clarify his good/evil position for anybody who doesn’t know him.

Cinema in the jungle

That’ll be handy then, just what I was looking for

Rumble in the jungle.

We're staying in a shack in the jungle near the beach. So far so normal. Returning to the hut this evening I noticed a strange ethereal glow a little way off into the distance. On closer investigation it appeared to look like a video projection. I thought I could make out some text, screwing my eyes up a little I could make out the letters.. P…L…A…Y…E…R… I moved a little closer. It would appear that some enterprising individuals have hung […]

Hesitantly, I direct the glow from my ‘phone over the side of the balcony. With a degree of trepidation I peer into the gloom […]

There’s something odd going on..

Strange lumps of water are falling from the skies. Perhaps I have done something to anger the gods? Did I not place enough bottles of Fanta outside my spirit house last night? No, its ok, it just raining. That’s the first time I’ve seen rain since I left the UK. I still think it’s over-rated myself. I’m sitting on a coach typing this heading towards Krabi. My T-shirt is adorned with labels stuck to it which also say ‘Krabi.’ The […]

It’s a dog’s life

I have a few ‘rules’ when arriving somewhere to stay for a few days. Most of them are dull. Everyone has their own little rituals of un-packing, arranging and exploring. They are usually things that lead to divorce in later life – leaving the toothpaste not facing due north for example. Some however are worth sharing. It’s important to make friends with the dogs when arriving at a newplace. I bonded with ours at the ‘Phangan Lodge’ on the first […]
