Still in Ko Phi Phi. Can't seem to get out of here. Although I've said this that last two days - tomorrow - definitely out of here... Thailand only allows a 2 weeks visa stay if you arrive by land (4 weeks by air) - I completely forgot about this until about my third day here in Ko Phi Phi. I definitely need to start laying some tracks north if I plan on making it to the north country.
Other News:
Here's an interesting one: a 20 year old pregnant British girl gets arresting in Laos trying to smuggle some 600 odd grams of herion by plane into Thailand. Laos law holds that for over 500 grams of the 'horse' - penalty is death. The Brits hopped on this one, and I guess the Lao-ians realized that it wasn't going to be the best PR move for their country - instead they've opted for the life sentence.
When I first arrive 5 days ago H1N1 was at about 45 cases - today in the paper its up into the 3 to 4 hundreds. Many schools have closed in Bangkok, and pictures in the newpaper show about 10 - 20 workers scrubbing the streets. Suds and scrub brooms, complete with the masks and jumper suits.
