Thailand the ups and downs

My time in Thailand has had its ups and downs. I have decided to leave a day early because I have seen and done most of what I wanted to do while I was here. First let me link to my photos for those of you who care to take a look. I warn you that there are over 700.

Click here for the photos. This link goes to all my photos that I have on the Facebook. I don't think any are inappropriate but there are a lot of pictures of me just sitting around, and screenshots from a game I play. The Thailand pictures are under the label of Thailand ##.

While in Phuket, specifically an area known as Patong. I have seen a lot of junk for sale, I even bought a pair of Foaklies (Fake Oakly sun glasses) for about $4. I've seen way to many hookers. I've been attacked by one dog while walking along the coastal cliff road. I fortunately only suffered the injury of some holes in my pants. The dog however was not so fortunate.

I've gone scuba diving, parasailing, island cave canoe exploring while in Phuket. In Bangkok I experienced went to most of the large temples worth noting, saw a Buddha that was the length of 50 meters I think. Saw the largest solid gold Buddha statue. Along with other sites like the gem cutting institute of Thailand in Bangkok.

I spent a good deal more money than I should have while here. I've learned that nothing is above bargaining here, if I ever come back I will never take anything at face value again.

Unfortunately I got sunburned a good deal during my walk when I got attacked by the dog. I have not let it detract from my fun here however. The resort I wanted to stay in was unfortunately closed this time of year due to the beaches basically being under water. That is why I ended up staying in Patong which seems to be the sex-drugs-booze capital of the area. While these things are not my gig I have had fun here and met some really fun people, particularly from South Africa and Australia. Aussies know how to have a good time.

I really don't have much more to say about my trip. It's been fun, but I think it would have been more fun if I was traveling with other people.

Anyways
Enjoy the photos!
Dave
