Its just loads off stuff to talk about my trip that I just had not find the right time to pour out the memories. Its been weeks since landed back so I ll just write whatever comes in me mind.
I ve always seen Thailand as a mystic country that had lots of secrets yet to reveal..from the food, culture geographical landscapes more..
I set myself with the 2 other dudes Hos and Zam to phuket. Well we r on our way joining the largest and fastest-growing semi nomadic community roaming the globe.well for me is just to thai.. I gotta say the planning was horrendous cuz It was a last minute thingy, surfed the web saw tiger airways on promo and without any delay just purchased 3 tickets online…few clicks and I m on my way..!!
Reached phuket in the afternoon the journey begins. Took a mini bus to phadtanni..Damn on my way there our bus nearly got caught with an accident with a trailer!! The trailer skidded in front of my eyes and just stop metres away..!! That really freaked me out..It made my eyes open for the rest of the day.. Reached there after few hours, I passed by the beaches that were hit by the tsunamis back..This time I m watching it with my own eyes..the scale was massive..Lots of damage..However the respond was good, constructions starting to pick up. We reached phadtanni in the afternoon. There the locals hooked us up with a tour agency company and they got us the tickets to our destinations. Again traveling up down the hills to the ferry terminal. I cant sleep but I forced myself to close my eyes cuz the way the bus was moving was very freaky..!!! One slip and that’s it for all of us..balik sing with white clothes
Evening arrived and I m on my way to Koh Samui..There was this lovely French lady that just made my eyes keep rollin g on her..Struck few conversations and with her mummy as well. PS: Her mums hot tooo !!!! Ahakzz. Damn one bladdy thing I forgot was to struck a pic with her but nvm I just hope we ll bump again during full moon night..
By then I was very much craving for some thai delicacy. I had gone almost a day with an empty stomach. So wat I planned with the dudes is just to storm in at some hotels along samui town and then hunt for food..!!!
I gotta say we really lepaskan our nafsu that night..We ordered lots of delicacies ikan bakar..tom yam, beef gourmet and more but I had to stay firm its just for that night cuz I aint wanna end up the last few days of my trip eating cup noodles like wat some of peeps did hehe better not mention the names..haha..
After filling our stomachs to the maxx we strolled down the town of Samui..I gotta say Samui was more a developed island compared to Pahgan.They got McDonalds Burger Kings too..
The town itself is huge by Thai standards. It is a one lane street that is flooded with shops, bars, restaurants, travel agencies, etc. This was much way out different to Pahgan... In a way though, I enjoyed the change of pace. There were actually shops that we could buy gifts in, more than two restaurnats to choose from, and the nightlife was huge. And oh yesss lots of ladyboys scattered everywhere..And midnight is where actions begins..Lots of these ladyboys walking down the streets with scantily clothes..Haha they will just come up to us and try seduce us ..yeah right word seduce..haha kinda freaky too..
Did most of my shopping in Samui and also some construction to my hair..hahaha..just some experiments..Here we met thai Rastafarians !! raggaeman !! yeah bob marley lookalike..
Yeah nice blokes hang out with them at chaweng beach..hos paid them to have his hair dreadlock..the process took hours but I bet it was worth it.That night they brought us to nightlife zone..It was massiveee we met the ladies that we get to know at the beach but I can see that they r just chasing for our cash..So we just plainly ignored them and enjoyed the music that night..
It was nice getting to know the locals and other backpackers too..Exchanging views on our on country, learning some words of foreign languages.etc..my fav word for thai Aroii !!! ahakz ..Now I m kinda lil proud saying that I m from Sing..I d remember once there s this german bloke questioned me I did not know that Singaporeans speak good English..?? ehem no doubt was he complimenting on my English but geezz I didn’t knew the singlish factor would reach till berlin..
After spending 3 days at Samui tho its not enough we went straight to Pahgan..This was my destination for this all journey..The island where beautiful people gathered every month year.. Upon reaching there I joked with Zam if only we could stay at some hotels up the hills at Had Rin would be awesome.!!
Astonishingly it came out to be bladdy truee I mean the view was magnificient but getting there vertainly not !!!! The hotels around the town area were all fully booked and were expensive due to full moon season..the first time walking to our resort was indeed a like soldiers marching acroos countries..damn tired..So the next day we decided to get each one of us a bike !!! Woohhooo! Bike was cheap in Pahgan at around 4 sing per day..the shitty thing is riding up and down the hills was a memorable experience..bladdy freaky..so yea at least there were some adventure moments to spice the trip tho actually it has already spiced up all long !!!
Our resort was very laid back..still remember the fat cuty lady as the recep..well overall she s nice having to filled up with all the info that we wanted to know..
It is truly an amazing feeling when you have no idea what day it is, let alone what time. You find yourself contemplating difficult decisions, like do I want to go to this beautiful island or the one next to it. And not forgetting the wide range of foodies..well ladies ahakkz I need not say it..lots of emm !!! damnn !! Not exactly serious dilemmas tho.
I realize that we are the youngest groups in that island..well most of them are lawyers, teachers etc..i mean they had established their career journey and so..some just quit to travel..and these peeps don’t travel like for a week ..but for mthsss .even years..well I would had done dat to if our currency were as strong as them..and they would travel all arnd south east asia..cool ! met this lady from new york and she had been traveling for 14 mths that’s more than a year..and I asked her bet u cant remember ur home wall colour lolzz !!
Once we settled in at out hut..we planned out roughly our activities…cracking jokes about few incidents..next day we get our bike ride slowly through the congested lanes at Pahgan..Koh Pahgan is very laid back..love the scenery the ambience everything is just stweeeetttttttttt..everybody smiling making us feel welcomed..
Now service industry in Singapore wanna learn how to excel all I gotta say is learn from the thais..or employ em..!!!! rather than just debate and wack wack like ducklings in the air..
The island was filled with all kind of nationalities just name it..Irish, aussies Americans, Spanish, british, Nepalese JAPANESE eheeem2. and yes shockingly Israelis..lots of em..I kinda wondered why lots of em were flocking in Pahgan..said a local this is their season..no doubt there are the most beautiful people in the world everything seems perfect their eyesss their hair everything just perfect....it has been awhile since I ve glared into a beautiful eye so at there I really had lots to glare at..but but a big BUT when ur beautiful ur ego is certainly not..yes they r snobbish they don’t blend with other just mixing with themselves and most of em were staring at me too maybe they tink I m an arab huh..shockingly the place where we ate even had jewish menus..yeah Israel cuisine and this shows me how established their presence are that I believe koh pahgan is their holiday target..
We decide to tour the island with our bikes but at one point we were in dilemma to go ahead or not cuz the roads are unbelievable..up and down and spiral too..and one slip off you go down the cliffs. Damn wacky !!!
After much thinking we decide to take the risk moving so slow as if our bikes had trouble with the engines lol..but a one time while I was busily concentrating on my bike there is this bike just wack ahead of me and shockingly the rider was a lady!!! Holyshitt !! so I decide to go lil faster and got use to it..but half way through we decide to pull back and ride back to our hotel cuz the sun was tucking in..and soon there will be no lights which I tink is not goonna be a good thing for us …
Nightfalls has just beset..All lightings are up..Streets are packed we went hunting for dinner..As usual tom yam kung is always a must in the table…after filling up our stomachs we walk along the streets…and I spotted lots of massage saloon..and I surely gonna get all my body oiled up..at midnight we went to the infamous beach of Had Rin..tho I goota say the crowd wasn’t that packed but I can certainly feel the vibe is coming..we chilled out that night at the beach glaring at the fire performance..it was damn magnificient. It managed to pull lots of crowds..
We got back to our room, discarded all clothes and fell into a deep arak-attacked sleep.
Morningzzz ariived..we sent back or bikes.. and spent the day chilling out..We were certainly in the glorious part of the worldwith everyone speaking with their own austral accent..and yess I had my own too..
That day was starting to see more people in the town and also more troops flocking in the island..well yes everyone certainly is gearing up for the marvelous night..the full moon party..dat day we spent most of our time resting in the day..just cant wait for noght to fall and yes full mooon..
Night had arrived!!! The first thing I do was to take a peek at the space..!! the moon was beautifull..it was so bright that it was almost blinding…and there is an outer circle a white zone around the moon.. It was exquisite!!
Had Rin Beach is the site of the now-legendary Full Moon Party..huge speakers double my height are all move outside getting ready to pump out all the vibes..and now for lots of reasons I m bout to uncover this party..! Its like a Mardi Gras or some fantastic scenes from the Beetlejuice. Just bar after bar, one string of colored lights after another, all with rows of candlelit plastic mats or beach chairs lined up on the sand..soon all the chairs will be gone and filled with party animals!! We walked from one end to another..and I was thinking that damn am I the olnly Singaporean except for the other two yoboes to be here..but that certainly aint’t true..hahaha I met my TP skool mates there !! lepak ssakkk sheikh and khalid!!!! yeah those two ..walking..its kinda funny when we met them..but yeah now our crowd is bigger and livelier all set out to hit the party !!! ohhh yes I say this familiar looking gal yeah she s from sing..and I duin noe how she just came to me as if we knew each other well..well dats all yeah cuz this is a pg rated publication haha..and yes the the locals thais were there tooo..lots of em damn I had lots of break down in communication…but certainly not with the british and others..hehe…they were just purely incredible!!! Simply to say I had enthralling conversations with all of em..
I walked along the beaches maneuvering past the layer of Israelis own narcissistic groove at the perimeter and step up to the floor for basically 4 nights of non-stop boogie. All night till the morning just had fun…clear our doubts all each of em and just have fun..This was the night that I had been waiting for..the party was on till the morning everone catching a glimpse of sunrise..how I wished..i had my home built at the beach..every morning spending the time with ya loved ones watching natures beauty..nothing can be compared to natures beauty..the waterfalls..landscape hills..beaches, the sands..everything..not even the ladies…well I gotta say now beauty are just temporarily stuff..well I always believe that there is more than meets the eye and yes fate too..
Well 1 week wasn’t enough for me honestly but I just cant be in the air all the time gotta get back to land and go back to home..well coming to kohpangan again wold certainly be yess..but I was kinda tinking before that I would like to do some volunteer worrkk..i just wanna spread love..one love and its not about getting the return..whenever i watched the live on this disaster areas it just makes me feel that these kids need us..especially us where we were from a third world country too lucky us for not going through that hardship.. ..maybe Cambodia or Aceh..by doin this I just don’t wanna make myself adopt the material thinking and lots more...we ve got to cherish the life that was given to us properly..i just recently ransaked my sis property of clothes (permission granted) and adding my clothes too and gave to the pakisstani association..there was this paki family whom i guess had volunteered to help out and make thier mansion a hub for collecting the needy itemss.okk gotta go need to heat up food for sahur !
There can never ever be a perfect person never but there can be perfect moments..cherish it..
