Nothing Going on for Now


Not much happening here on the Island. I am meeting a lot of people and making local Thai friends, they are all very kind people and eager to communicate. I am learning how to speak Thai also. The local Thai people are very receptive to help teach their language.
It feels like music to me, the more you practice your instrument, the more quickly and proficient you learn. It is also fun to practice with them, a lot of laughing and joking too; teasing is a must.
Most of these photos I have posted today are from the beach where i stay. Not very interesting really, but I am just testing my camera too. The first photo i like, it a night photo of the Squid Boats fishing overnight. This doesn't happen too often, so i thought i would get a photo of it. I like the contrasts in the photo, it looks like ufo's.
The weather here is usually 90 or higher everyday and around 75 at night. Soon it will get up to 95+ during the day, and 78 or 80 at night and all with no aircon. March and April is summer here in Thailand, then the rainy season comes beginning in May or June. There will be serious downpours soon also.
I will fly to Chiang Mai, to stay with my friend, in a week and a half. I will need to take a 3 hour boat ride to the coastal town of Chumpon, then catch a late bus to Bangkok. I will walk around Bangkok for the day, then take a taxi to the airport to catch my 7:45pm flight. I should stay in Chiang Mai for almost 2 weeks. It is much cheaper in that area too, so i will save a lot of money. I will also check out Chiang Mai to see how I feel about working there, as I do not know where I will live yet.
