fail

went to the climbing wall tonight, failed hardcore in a relative sense. i've lost alot of strength from when i was doing it alot and this is disappointing...i struggled with some of the easier ones, climbs that i'd normally dominate.

the differences between outdoor and indoor climbing is pretty huge. outdoor holds were typically easier than some of the holds indoors, probably due to the texture (indoor climbing holds are made of hard plastic? i think? and smooth).

the rating systems obviously vary as well. outdoors, we did climbs that were allegedly like 5.10+ or whatever. indoors, i still struggle with 5.9+, at least in my current gym. i've been to a few different gyms and the rating systems vary widely...i guess the rating systems are pretty subjective to begin with.

i'd like to be able to get to 5.10+ by the end of the semester. with hard work, i think i can do it. i'm going to work on going to the wall 4 times a week.

i'm not really sure what the consensus is on healing/resting muscles with rock climbing. i suppose (like all things)it varies to how good your muscle endurance/etc is. in the past i've usually climbed every other day or so to ensure healing and rest (and running on the alternate days). i'm thinking about just doing a quick climb or two every day though to see how much i can improve both endurance as well as strength and technique.

hoping to get back into it. this is my biggest goal right now (aside from getting all my graduation/academics in order). flag football starting soon as well (and cfb for that matter), can't wait. will probably write some stuff on UF here since i'm bored, as well as some cfb predictions.

thailand videos/pictures

as promised, here are the fight videos-

ROUND ONE

ROUND 2

ROUND 3-

refer to thailand tr part 2 for more details.

here are two pictures of those crazy ladyboys that massaged us in phi phi lol-

school starting soon

have about 4 days till the next semester starts, sucks dick. i'm still in a clusterfuck in terms of having a ton of stuff to do still. have taxes, have to get all my credits transferred from school to school. with that said, i'm going to have to reformat my entire schedule since this gay spanish class i have to enroll in goes from 9:30-11 every fucking day.

i have a pretty solid schedule, or at least i thought i did. frustrating that i'm going to have to dismantle it but whatever, i probably wouldve had to anyways.

i'm pretty sick of how lazy i've been...not just with school, but with regards to getting stuff done. i have alot to finish in these last few months, and it's going to be difficult to get everything done as planned. but if i can finally get my degree and get the hell out of here, i'll be happy.

i have no idea what the future has in store for me. as i've said in the past, i don't really see a cubicle job being there for me. and even with me being unqualified (w/ my shit history degree), i have even less motivation to finding a cubicle job.

i'm excited for some poker stuff in the coming months. i'm living with a roomie who plays, so i'm hoping that will both motivate me as well as improve my own game. i'm hoping to grind like i haven't in a long while, and i have high expectations for myself.

college football coming up soon...3 weeks or so, i'm pumped. still have to figure out what games i'm going to for UF. i'm thinking LSU would be a sweet one. death valley at night is supposed to be one of the great cfb spectacles year in and year out. as far as homegames, maybe FSU or UTenn? not sure.

also have flag football coming up as well. i'm going to have two teams this year, one in omaha and one in lincoln, so i'll be ranting/updating information about that shit in the coming weeks as well.

heading out now, cheers. going to enjoy the few days i have left of freedom before im imprisoned by spanish.

thailand part 3

finally finishing up here. after railay i headed back to bkk for a few more days to finish out the trip.

this probably isn't even really worthy of a TR but i'll write anyways. i really just wanted to share the great thai boxing match we saw the night after i got there.

we went to an official muay thai fight in bkk, paid like $60 or something for the seats. these fighters were definitely better than those we've seen previously in smaller areas and it was great fun.

looking now, i dont even really have any great pics. most of it was a result of me a) sucking at taking photos and b) them moving like cats.

the fighters were all pretty tiny, like 100-130 pounds. with that said, all were super machines and incredible fighters.

overall, a fun event. lost the double or nothing on the main event for 2k baht but won the last fight when my fighter elbowed the shit out of the other guy (and KOed him).

it was odd to see them take most all KOs or TKOs out on stretchers...we saw some pretty insane shit. one guy got his arm broken from a kick, didn't even know that was possible...seemed like a normal kick but the guy screamed in pain and the fight was done.

didn't do a whole lot the rest of the days there. hung out w/ some other 2p2ers for a night, walked MBK and shopped a bit. in portland now, long ass time here to wait.

overall, this trip was very fun. some random notes-

Food-
thai food was excellent. didn't know how much i'd really like all the authentic shit (and who even knows if i ate authentic thai food, mmmm? im sure id have to go inland for more of that). but w/e...the food overall was good. a tad spicy for my liking, i'm sure i'd have to build some sort of tolerance if i lived there. everything is mad cheap as well (if you look)...like $2 or so for a plate of food.

some of the things i really enjoyed were the garlic and pepper chicken, mixed fruit shakes, and alot of the weird seafood. alot of the natural fruit there was really interesting and good as well, and if you like fruit you'll be happy.

budget-
-thailand can be however cheap or expensive you want it to be. if you want to do other stuff, it'll probably cost more $ (obv). if you want to live cheap and just backpack around, you can live off like $20 a day (if you looked hard enough). i overheard a backpacker saying that she only looked for 100baht hostels a night (~$3)...which is just nuts. but she was determined so more power to her. the most expensive thing is the flight (obv again), but after that, it's pretty much all up to you. doing some of the extracurricular stuff can get pricy though (stuff like rock climbing, scuba, etc).

but, if you just wanted to do hiking and back packing and living cheaply, you could make it out really cheap.

wrt staying places, its fine to book online...obv cheaper in terms of hotels. but you can also just wait till you get off the boat/plane in the southern islands and you'll be able to find a place, often cheap. alot of those places send people out and you can get great deals but either walking into town or having them show you a place. the quality of stay probably won't be as good as those online (obv) but you'll be able to get out cheaper. we stayed at a place in koh phangan for like 600 baht (~$20) a night for AC/hot water/2 beds. and you can even get it cheaper than that.

ladyboys/prostitutes/etc- obv you'll see a ton of these all around. if you want it, go get it. might be a price attached, might not be. might also be a dick attached too...lol.

internet- can be spotty all throughout thailand. some places have nice connections, many do not. alot of the time the connections are fairly inconsistent barring some big city (ie. bkk). playing poker can be hazardous.

the game-

the game is common in all of thailand (and poorer countries in general). the game is one that takes place in any $ exchange, be it for a product or service. 'bargaining' is another word for it.

you can decide to play the game or not. depends how dedicated you are (both in principle and budget). if you are the type of person to fight for every penny for the hell of it (or because thats just what you do), you'll probably do fine here. obviously the strategies are pretty simple and standard- start low, have them move up, you move back down, etc. if all else fails, just walk away, and you'll find that they 'can make a special price 'for you, my friend''.

i myself got ripped off a fair amount. i can admit this. when i was fighting and bargaining with the people, i found we were fighting over like 20 baht (~$.50). i thought to myself 'well, this person probably needs this 50 cents a bit more than me, so whatever'. i'm not going to try and sound arrogant either...i'm far from the richest poker player out there...it was just something that i grew to accept.

with that said, i didnt totally give up on the game. i still bargained, at least to a degree. didn't really buy a tremendous amount of things...missed out on alot of cool paintings (very prominent in the south, not so much in bkk). picked up alot of tshirts and such...stupid jewelry for my sisters.

cant think of any more random notes either, will give them if the idea arises.

back in port now. long flight back but i slept most of the way. didn't end up in the ocean or an island...a shame, too bad i couldn't play the chinese version of jin from LOST.

cheers.

thailand part 2

Phuket is a small island off the south west of Thailand. It’s a pretty touristy spot and one of the more popular islands (IMO).

We decided to go to phuket and stay in the patong area, the most touristy. I personally don’t mind the tourist spots all that much, at least in terms of short term stays. Touristy spots usually mean a lot around there (be it night life, food, massages, shops, whatever).

Our hotel was in a pretty nice spot…about 5 minutes from the beach. First day we just chilled, tired from the flight/etc. our place was nice, aside from expensive internet.

Not too much to add about our stay in phuket, at least in the patong area. We hung at the beach a ton, just chilled out. Phuket’s beaches were really really nice, some of the best I’ve seen in Thailand. We also went to phuket national park, a large area in the northern part of the island. It was a large rainforest with some bigass trees and streams. We got lost along one way, couldn’t find the path. We exited the trail then decided to go back and retrace our steps. We still couldn’t find the main path, so we followed the stream upwards like a bunchve idiots, slipping in mud, water, and sand along the way. We eventually found the trail (the trail was marked by a bunchve signs, we apparently skipped one or two of them in our off-trail hike) and continued on. Overall a fun time.

We decided to stay a few more days in phuket, meeting up w/ other roomie’s friends. They lived near the chalong area, which is the southern area of phuket. Our second place wasn’t as nice as the first…while there werent’ huge qualms, the location sucked (it was far from both the main road and more importantly, the beach), and not much was around it. It almost seemed like we were on a different island to be honest, as we didn’t go to the beach nearly as often (since it was like a 15 minute drive or w/e).

The first day in chalong we decided to get motorbikes. Man I suck ass at driving these things. I am also psychologically warped wrt bikes as well, since near the end of last semester my bike slid across wet pavement and I busted my chin pretty bad. I was hesitant to ride the bike and held off for the first day or so (which was fine bc my other roomie and I decided to split initially). Man I’m a big pussy.

We met up with andy and pat, two dudes from the UK. They knew my roomie from poker and are both staying in phuket. Fun time, hung out at a lot of reggae bars and such. Second day in chalong I get a ticket for being a fucking dumbass while driving my bike. There was a large circle of traffic around cones, I got confused (idiotically couldn’t wrap my mind around the whole stay on the left thing) and went the wrong way, getting stopped in traffic, then getting charged 500baht for the ticket. Man I’m a moron. We also decided to go snorkeling in phuket…I still have to develop the pictures that I took from my underwater camera (hopefully they turned out). Near the end we saw this gigantic badass moray eel…I wanted to get close to it but was afraid it’d come out of its cave and bite my head off.

We decided to go to phi phi next. Phi phi is another set of small islands nearby and was even more touristy than phuket. Even still, we heard there were some great beaches and scuba diving there.

Our first few nights we stayed in some ghetto ass bungalows that were cheap. Big mistake on our parts…not only was there no AC, but the location sucked a big fat dick. We had to take like a 20minute+ boat ride out to get to the main part of the island, which over rid the $ we saved from booking it initially. After sweating like a bunchve afghan whores, we got the hell out of there and went back to the main pier. We also rock climbed the first day in (or second, I cant remember). Rock climbing on phi phi was pretty fun, and our guide was hilarious. I couldn’t finish the last climb for one reason or another, but my other roomie got it.

view from one of the tops-

We went to this reggae bar a ton. This reggae bar was unlike others we’ve been to, in that there was a large muay thai boxing ring in the middle of it, where you could fight both randoms as well as friends. The fights were 3 one minute rounds with like a 5 minute break in between. While this doesn’t sound like much, every second seems like an eternity in any ring, especially when most participants aren’t trained/conditioned in the least.

There was also a scheduled fight each night. It was pretty evident that the two boxers were fighting a fixed/staged fight…that is, the fighters were rolling with punches and kicks/etc. despite this fact, each of those fake fighters would wreck anyone else who stepped into the ring and it wouldn’t be close.

So roomie decided to go get scuba cert, took him 2 days. My other roomie and I chilled at the beach mainly…he was still fighting a nasty case of sunburn from phuket (lol white people).

Sunburned roomie decides he wants to fight on the last night we are there. I’m going to put it all up on youtube later.

I was just chilling at the bar, friend put his name in to fight a random. He points to this skinny bitch looking guy and murmurs “this guy’s still thinking about fighting…he doesn’t’ know yet. He says he’s never fought before in his life, I’m going to wreck him”

10 minutes or so pass and I hear the announcer talk, the crowd’s attention diverted to the center stage. My friend is dressed blue gloves and headgear and his opponent in red. He looks up at me and shakes his head furiously, pointing to his opponent and still shaking his head. This was not the same guy who was mulling over the fight decision, but a larger guy.

I knew from the sound of the bell that things were not going to be good. The guy was clearly experienced in at least some form of fighting (be it boxing, muay thai, etc). his kicks looked devastating and my friend was scrounging around for dear life.

The last two rounds went smoother than the first. Both sides got in a few punches, but no huge damage was exchanged. Red clearly won and my friend looked exhausted. He walked up to me (I was filming on the top floor)-

“so instead of matching me up with that skinny pussy, they put me against some 200 pound irish killing machine”

“haha what do you mean? I mean, the guy looked good but he didn’t look that great”

“he’s been training off and on in muay thai for the last 8 years. He was going so soft on me”

“jesus Christ. What a freak”

“he could have ended it in the first round at any point if he wanted to…I felt like a bitch” he had a shiner and couldn’t really walk much the next few days due to the few kicks the guy threw.

We stay the rest of the night, watching some other hilarious fights. Our last night in phi phi resulted in me losing 2k baht (~$65 or so) on fucking rigged fights. I should have won a ton of them but for some reason that retarded judge picked friend’s fighter instead of mine. Fucking horse shit. also didn't get many pics of the fight at all since i filmed the entire thing, will put them up on youtube when i get back home w/ better internet.

By this time it was about time to head to the full moon party, on the other side of Thailand. It was in koh phagnan (spelling?). FMP is about 10-30k people on a beach going insane.

It was a pretty big bitch to get there. We had to take a ferry to krabi, a bus across Thailand for a few hours to the other port, then a last ferry to the island. It was tiring as fuck and we nearly missed the bus to the last pier. The ferrys are also a gigantic clusterfuck, and if you ever take one of those things, try your best to put your stuff in an area that you know instead of with the rest of the stuff. Basically, they pile everyone’s shit in one huge area, then after the ship lands, dump it all out. You have to find your shit in this gigantic mess with little light. Clusterfuck is the true word for this scene.

Anyways, went to FMP for a night, was fun. My alcohol endurance is a fucking joke (both in general and currently) and I passed out multiple times throughout the night, eventually sobering up while going insane to techno music. Other than the FMP, koh phangan is kindve a shit hole, not a ton to do there. Pretty desolate island, at least the part we were in. the beaches weren’t as nice as some of the previous spots either. But the FMP was fun and I’m sure you have to try it at least once while in Thailand.

Last night there we decided to go to a muay thai fight. Unlike the bar fake fights, these were real. I had been slowly paying my roomie off from losing all the other fight bets.

I started to lose nearly all the fucking bets. There was a fight between two chicks. Naturally, I took the one who looked partially like a boy, hoping that she actually was a ladyboy. Unfortunately the other kneed her way to victory and I was stuck again.

I pretty much lost every fight. The hilarious one was where I took this fat fuck woman who looked like she was some war goddess from thai fairytales. She sported a SINGHA shirt and looked ready to kick some ass. I decided that I needed to change my betting strategy since I had previously been taking the skinnier fighters (in hopes that they would be faster and more agile). Unfortunately, the bigger fighters were outmuscling the smaller ones, and my strategy clearly wasn’t working.

So I chose fat fuck in the blue (my friend and I decided that loser gets to pick the next fight, I think this is a fair way to do it). Friend’s fighter was also stout but seemed softer.

It was a fucking massacre. No, not in the way I would have preferred. From the moment the thai music sounded, my fat ass fighter was doomed. Not only could she barely throw a punch, but her kicks were so slow and pathetic, I don’t even know what the point of throwing them were. She probably got knocked down about 20+ times and by the end, the crowd was howling in laughter. This crazy gook behind me was nearly crying at the sight. I continued to fume with bitterness, both at how pathetic my fighter was (it wasn’t even a fucking fight) and how poorly I was at choosing fighters to begin.

not really the best picture but it was dark and you can already see the fatass about to topple over.

So having almost erased my 2k debt, it was back at 2600 by the end of the night…up until the last fight. We decided to go double or nothing on the last one.

Things weren’t going my way at the opening round. I took the blue fighter, who looked like he had longer limbs and taller. The opening round was pretty pathetic, as red kicked him repeatedly (and blue did nothing).

They were tied up in the corner and a loud CRACK resounded throughout the stadium. Red collapsed instantly and didn’t move (I thought he was dead). The movement was too fast to truly confirm, but we think it was either a knee or like an elbow or something that floored red. Man I wish we had a replay there. Red didn’t move for like another minute and blue obviously won, thus erasing my debt.

My friends and I all decided to go our separate ways, at least for now, eventually meeting back up in bkk later. We still had about 10 days till we fly out of bkk on the 18^th.

Fighting friend wanted to go back up to bkk, he loved that place. Other friend wanted to go to koh tao, a neighboring island near koh phangan. I personally wanted to go to railay beach in krabi, supposedly one of the best rock climbing spots in the world.

My first night was a clusterfuck. The winds were blowing like crazy and I wasn’t able to get to railay. Despite railay beach being a part of the mainland, you still can’t get to it by car…have to take a taxi boat. So the first night I was stuck in Ao nang and forced to get a room there. I met a poker player at the bus station (the guy grinded micro tourneys and sngs) and we hung out the rest of the night.

Traveling alone is definitely different. I made a lot of idiot mistakes that I probably wouldn’t have made had I been with others. I still didn’t really have any idea where my hotel was that I booked online a few days previously was…some of the hotels on krabi were titled ‘railay resort’ despite not actually being on railay…it was confusing as fuck.

So after wandering around and getting a boat to railay beach, I wandered around, tired as hell. Lugging my shit around was a pain and I was ready to just book some random place and write off the $100 I spent on that hotel. That place would be a sort of mythical palace that I could never reach, something like a shangri la.

After wandering around, lugging my shit around, I just booked this other place. Note to self- don’t book more than one night at a time in weird places. It’s not smart. I idiotically booked 2 nights and unpacked all my shit, took a nap.

I walked railay. Railay isn’t the nicest beach, at least railay east. Railay as a whole doesn’t offer a tremendous amount of stuff to do, and its more of a relax/wind down place than any other. I walked around and eventually did find my hotel that I booked previously. Seeing as I got no refund if I canceled my reservation, I decided to just check in, maybe using two spots or whatever if needed. Kindve stupid, but I figured I was sort of freerolling in a way…if the new place was nicer, I could just stay there.

Turns out that it was indeed nicer…a lot nicer than the other shit hole place I booked. And a better location as well. I decided that I was going to man up and lug the rest of my shit back to the new place…while this seems like a stupid thing (or not even a difficult task), I was probably walking about half a mile away with all my shit in a tired state. I wrote off the 600 baht that I paid and just chalked it up to me being a dumbass/me deserving to lose that money for being a retard and walked onwards.

I decided to go rock climbing the day after. Railay and tonsai beach are known for their rock climbing spots, and the limestone cliffs are really really fantastic for outdoor climbing. I did a half day climb.

it was a great time. i did most of the easy ones pretty easily. they rated like 5.7-5.9 i think. the last climb i did was said to be a 6A (french rated)...but when i completed it (after falling a bunch, still finished though), my instructor said it was really a 6B+ and he lied to me. i'm not sure if i would have done it had he said that before so good deal. 6B+ turns out to be like a 5.10c in the american scale. i probably can do 6A or so, thats probably where i'm at.

some other pics-


anyways, dont want to write any more now. will finish up last bit of bkk later sometime. and post some of said pics (ladyboys/fight video/etc) later. cheers.

ladyboy massages

hilarious story from last night-

so we're walking around at night in phi phi, whatever. just got done w/ dinner, a massage sounds nice. my friend and i walk to a nearby parlor for some nice $7 massages.

anyways, i'm greeted by my suspected masseuse, clearly a ladyboy. for those who dont know, ladyboys are dudes who have been injected with estrogen from a young age and LOOK mostly like chicks, except they have dicks. and sometimes, they dont look like chicks at all.

so right now, i'm squriming, thinking about this dude putting his hands all over me. one thing that could be beneficial is that the ladyboy might have stronger hands...i guess. my friend is laughing his ass off and saying "this will be enjoyable". i tell him to go **** himself.

the ladyboy walks over and starts to massage him instead (LOL). i am fistpumping alot in my head and i get this old lady. fine with me, at least i dont have this mutant touching me.

anyways, i enjoy watching my friend squirm as this thing is grabbing him all over the place. i'm laughing my ass off and enjoying the experience. the thing was clearly powerful, it had gigantic banana hands and large feet.

so after we decide to leave and get anohter massage, only this time, only vagina behind us. friend agrees fully.

so we go to another parlor. we go in and mine is clearly a woman, his looks like a woman (but it's dark). we are getting massages, all is well. mine is pretty ****ing big (fat) and having her on my back felt like a ****ing 1000000 pound slab crushing my vertebrae.

so we all start to chat it up since we're right next to each other. she asks the usual bull ****, how long you in thailand, etc. they say i look thai and i tell them i'm chinese. they mention how i'm just as dark/darker than them and i shrug.

so anyways, i point to my friend and was like "he got massage from ladyboy"
my masseuse starts to laugh. "right now?"
"no, before...right before this"
"oh...you like ladyboy?"
"nah not really"

friend starts to laugh. i notice that friend's masseuse grows quiet. my masseuse laughs.

its dark. i start to stare at my friend's masseuse...something just isnt right. the face is chick but something...is not right. her shoulders are ****ing broad, her feet are ****ing apelike. i realize that my friend is getting massaged by a ladyboy YET AGAIN. upon this realization i start to laugh inside...my smile going ear to ear and i'm making small sniffling noises. my friend looks over at me and stares me in the eyes, saying "i hate you so very much right now...i hate you"

ill get pics later of said ladyboys. ahahhahahaha

thailand part 1

might as well do thailand TR part 1. not sure whats going on tonight and we're just chilllin so w/e. i could be wrong in some of these statements (thailand lovers like shipitfma can correct me if i'm wrong but these are my observations)-

day 1-

we take a 10 hour flight to tokyo, japan. shouldve vistited kil but whatever. freak prob wouldntve met me out there anyways. didnt really have much time in tokyo. mainly passed the time on the way there playing chinese and sleeping/reading. ate a teriyaki hamburger at mcdonalds at tokyo since i didnt want to convert my $ to yen or w/e the **** currency they use there (and mcdonalds took good old USD). teriyaki burger didnt go down so well and i took two ****s on the plane to bangkok.

anyways, arrive in bkk late at night, took a 20 minute drive to our hotel, located in sukhumvit soi 11. this area of town was recommended to us by some of the thailand dudes and had alot of nightlife stuff/alot of **** in general. didnt do **** the first night since jet lag was confusing our bodies and we were 12 hours different than we were normally used to.

REAL day 1 (or first real day in bkk)- i guess i could wait for my friend's pics of the city but whatever, i dont have them now. bkk is a ****ing gigantic metropolis and has pretty much everything you could want (or at least the area i'm in). we walked the city throughout most of the day, got our first massages (no happy endings... yet at least) for like $8 an hour. early observations in thailand showed that everything was/is pretty much dirt cheap, at least compared to back home.

buying **** from the street vendors is fun. the cheap side of any human being wants to bargain and fight for every cent...but then you realize you're fighting over like $1, and in the end this person probably needs it alot more than you. maybe this outlook is just arrogance but whatever, they can keep my 35 baht or whatever. and the **** is super cheap anyways.

so yeah. mates and i traveled the streets, ate cheap food, got cheap massage. went back the first day and took a nap around 2pm in the afternoon. didnt wake up until 1am and was totally WTF, didnt have any idea wtf was going on. think i called shipitfma and he told me it was pretty much too late to go out...i really ****ing blew it. oh well, w/e.

day 2- we decided to be tourists and go to the temple. thailand has a billion of these temples (buddhist temples i think) with tons of statues and other ****. big buddahs and other statues.

so that **** was pretty cool. think i hung out w/ shipit that night? cant remember. regardless, the day i hung out w/ shipit and ted i dont really remember much. i went in with no sleep nor food and just died. shipit tells me his life revelations of how he's getting raped through liver damage and i nod.

day after we go do the croc farm in bkk. supposedly the biggest in the world or something like that. they had other **** too, like tigers/elephants/etc.

the crocs are first shown with the mutants first- the freak anamolies that shouldnt be like that. such examples are 6 legged croc, humpback croc, etc.

This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 640x480.

then we got to the big area, where you could feed the crocs for 50b or something retarded like that (~$2). fwiw, $1= 35b. some of the crocs there were ****ing monsters. huge mother****ers.





the show after was really sick. the guy put his ****ing head in the croc. ridiculous crazy ****ing mofos-

This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 640x480.

anyways, we did that ****. i got a pic with a full grown tiger as well as a baby tiger-


but wont have those pics up yet till i get back and can scan.

next day we did MBK (or DK, cant remember), a huge ass mall. pretty cool, not really cheap though. i believe liverpool was visiting ont he day we went but we didnt really stay for that.

we left for phuket shortly after. we didnt want to do everything in bkk since we're coming back there before we fly out. we still want to go to a muy thai fight, still want to go to the floating market as well as see more bkk night life. so it should be great.

onto phuket later! also ill add more pics to this later as well once i get home and get more of my friend's pics.
