What A Day

Well so here I am in Phuket and after a grueling day of travel I am getting quite tired and ready for bed. I left Bangkok last night at 6pm on a night bus to Suratthani. After spending the night trying my best to get some sleep I finally arrived around 6:30am and was able to stretch my legs. But thats about all I had time for cause after and hour of waiting in an ally I jumped on a mini bus for another little four hour jont acrross Thailand to Rangong. I arrived in Ranong at about noon and walked down a dirt ally, found the local pier, then found a local that we hired to take us across to Myanmar on his boat so I could renew my Visa for Thailand. So once again I was thrown into a boat with no exact idea of what was going on or where we were headed. After about a half an hour boat ride we landed at Myanmars Immigration Office which is quite a place. Its actually a sed on stilts over the ocean, and Im not talking about one of those fancy sheds its like one thats 50 years old and falling apart. So after getting our stamps and of course leaving some money for the officers we were off to the only town your aloud in in Myanmar to buy some tabbacco. It was quite funny cause your not techniquically aloud into the country unless you fly there but right at the pier there is a neautral type zone so we stood there while a bunch of 13 year old boys ran to the stores and got what we wanted, or scratch that, what we had to buy before we were aloud back to Thailand. So I bought a carton of smokes, tiped the boys 50 baht, and just like that I was on a boat back to Ranong. After going back through Thailand immigration I then jumped on a moto and rushed up to the bus station to catch, yet again, an 6 hour bus to Phuket for the evening. And that where I am sitting right now, I found a room, got something to eat,and am thinking about hitting the hay after 27 hours of straight traveling. So tommorro I am going to wake up bright and early get some breakfast (Omlet on Rice) and catch the ferry to Ko Phi Phi where it will be time to relax again. And now I have a visa for another month and my passport back so life is good!!!
