We found the cheapest Chang and best seat in the house :) Chai-yoh!
Mary: When everyone wants your money, how do you know who to trust? I now know how Biggie felt - mo money, mo problems. I'm poor enough in the U.S. to qualify for free health care at some places (planned parenthood, I love you), but here in Thailand I'm like a pasha. Everybody wants to be your friend when you have a white face, visa card, and clean clothes.
This means that, much like Biggie, we are having a hard time finding people to trust. This was scary our first day, as we dealt with misleading tuk-tuk drivers, overpriced tourist agencies, and a series of people giving really bad directions. But the second day was much smoother, thanks to our first trustowrthy Thai friend, Joe at TAT (tourism egency of Thailand).
Joe hooked it up, and we found ourselves with a plan to explore the city via a nice cool local ferry (15 baht - about 50 cents-ish), and reservations on a bus/ferry combo to Koh Panang that night for 700 baht less than we'd been quoted. Hell yes. Joe, if you're out there, you are the shit. And Biggie, if you're out there (we all know you're not really dead), lets be friends.
Dana: We have officially arrived in Paradise!!! Pictures can not do Koh Phangan justice...this place looks like a screensaver times 1000. My current challenge is to figure out how to be outdoors without melting...Brian from back home suggests "milkshakes"---mushroom milkshakes??? Haha, need to get our bearings first...heading out to explore now with my bosom buddy Mary. "Yeah the waters not cold, but at least it's wet." Bubble bubble bubble :)
