Three of my first five evenings on Ko Phi Phi - slurping back some Chang beer and cutting bets on matchs with the Sweds, Samuel and David.
This first clip is the ceremonious introduction that they do before all the fights.
Alright. pretty anticlimatic on this one. Been waiting for over an hour to put one of these rounds up...wasn't meant to be. All these crazy Thai gamers in this place must be drowning me out.
Whelp...hope you enjoy that intro then...one of these days.
Made it to Phuket. Exhausted, somethings definitely on my back, and I'm beginning to realize that a 2 week Thai visa makes it impossible to do a swath of this country with any type of justice.
Crossing my fingers for a bedbug free night.
Last night was another romper. Went back to see the fire shows down at the beach side resorts. Hung out with the gals from the internet cafe again and watched all the crazy gweilo's try their hand at the various fire feats. Stick twirlers, fire ball swingers, flaming numb chuck things...A big hit at all the fire show beach bars is the flaming jump rope; about 35 ft long - two Thai guys standing on either end on table tops, the flames leaping with heat rushing off and back to outer lawn chairs. The night before, Nok from the cafe ran out to the center of the jope, slipped on her back and ended up taking some pretty nice burns on her arm and leg.
Another hit is the flaming limbo. Held my own on this one and got lower than any other gweilo - free shots of vodka - for anyone that even tried. The Thai's really build the whole episode and then they go under with about a foot and a half clearance..................
not feeling the blog fever right now, no infusion, only mindless recaps and running out of gas....
this might be the first night that I actually go to sleep at reasonable hour....
well, there is that blues bar around the corner that has a live band that started 17 minutes ago. Maybe I'll just pop in for a Chang...
