Well I made it too Ko Phi Phi yesterday morning only to find out that it is the most expensive place I visited thus far. I walked around for the better part of two hours trying to find somewhere that was reasonably cheap when I finally gave up and spent 500 baht on a very very small bungalow. So because that probably doesn't mean much to you that's almost 20$ and up to this point I normally don't go outside 10$ and that's when I am feeling like treating myself. Needless to say I jumped on a boat today to go to Krabi because Ko Phi Phi may have been beautiful but it was basically the same as the other island and much over my price range. But hey at least I was there! So last night was the half moon and of coarse everyone in Thailand finds any reason to party so I went to a free barbecue on the beach and an amazing fire show. I also got to see Ko Phi Phi Don a little island fairly close to Ko Phi Phi where the filmed the movie, "The Beach" so that was pretty neat. Now I am staying in Krabi at a much more decent place for 4$ so thats a relief. I am going to stay here a couple nights and take a day trip tomorrow to Rai Lay Beach and check out some mountain climbing. The cliffs there go straight into the ocean and is said to be the best climbing in Southeast Asia. Then I think I am headed to Ko Tao to get my PADI for Skuba Diving but that all depends on when I have to meet Sara and the gang in Ko Samui. So that all that going on here hope to hear from everyone soon!

Hey Bru you look good in your picture. Just seeing if this comment section works or not.

Hey Bru nice tan. Your forehead looks extremely dark. You should try to learn the fine art of fire tossing while you're there. That would be a useful trade here in the west. What's the music like over there?

Ya my tan is alright and that pic is even before I became a beach bum now I am much darker. The music is basically Thai or the same as at home only a year or two behind. Like at the bars you hear the same as you would there just the top forty usual. Or if you go to a place thats less touristy is like Thai Trance, oh ya good times. And then at stores they cant get enough of Jack Johnson
