GoodBye Bangkok Hello Puket

So on my last day in bangkok i didnt really do much. I slept in past my 1230 checkout because i was hung over. I had to get on a bus at 530 to ride over night to puket. so around 330 i decided to get a massage because i hadn't had one yet (and no there was no happy ending, get your mind outta the gutter) This was a legit authentic thai massage. It cost me $6 canadian for an hour. So after that i went and waited for my bus. I met a nice brother and sister from Cali who were also goin to puket. So the bus we took was pretty nice it was all air conditions and had movies and stuff, we then had to take a connector for the last 4 hours of the trip which really sucked. It was supposed to be jsut ppl who had booked legit through a travel agent but the guy running the bus kept picking up anyone he could to make some extra cash, he had ppl standing in the isle which im sure is not something he should have been doing. So because he was scamming our trip took a total of 14 hours when it should have been about 10 which was pretty weak.When we got dropped off we met a girl from finland who also was with us from the start, the 4 of us have been hanging out for the last few days which is pretty sweet. I'm staying in a nice guest house for 250 bhat which has a/c, a tv shower with hot water and it's really clean. That is the biggest steal ever for 250 bhat, i didnt even get all that for 400 bhat in bangkok. So durring the day we just went to our local beach. It was alright, the water wasnt really nice. At night we went out to party! There is a whole road they close off and its just constant bars and nightlife, i ahve never seen partying like this anywhere! Including Vegas. There are girls trying to pick up guys for free drinks and whatever else they can get out of them in every single bar, the ratio of girls to guys is easily 3 to 1. They pretty much attack you when you walk into the bar. It sounds like its something I would like but its not cool. They are only out for one thing and I'm not down for that. it was kinda good that me and Kit ( the brother from Cali) had Steph (his sister) and Milka (from finland) with us to look like we were already kinda taken. We ended up meeting up with Mick and connor who i partied with in my last night in bangkok and some girls who the 3 of us also partied with that night. haha i introduced myself to them when i saw them in puket not knowing that i met them in bangkok they laughed at me and said "Jackson from Vancouver" right? hahaha so we had a crew of about 15 of us at a few bars we were hoping around to, we ended at a bar where we were paying less than a dollar for a beer and about 2 dollars for a strong whisky coke. The bar tenders were buying us all free drinks and they even lit the bar on fire. I ended up gettin home at 5 am that morning. I called Mick today to ask when he and the rest of the guys got home and he said they went to an after hours and got in at quarter to 10, lol. Today i went to a really nice beach about 15 mins away where the water was blue. This beach was amazing! I rented a boogie boad too which was fun. It wasnt all fun tho today.... Today i saw something i have never witnessed in person before. A dead body got dragged out of the water and on to shore:S I ahve never seen a dead body a foot infront of me before so it was kind of a shock. it weas a man in his 70's and judging by the colour of his skin he had been dead for a while. My guess is that he had a heart attack. There were red flags up today which means you shouldnt really be swimming in there. When its like that i dont swim where i cant touch but i guess he didnt use that rule. It kinda put a damper on the rest of my day. After that i bustedout some tunes on the beach to try and change the mood. After the beach we got showered up and the 4 of us walked around beach street and grabbed some dinner. We're takin it easy tongiht because we're gonna do an elephat trek tomorrow. We were supposed to do it this morning but Kit was huggin that toilet for about 4 hours this morning, lol. After the trek i gotta pack up my stuff and head to ko phi phi. Google that place and check out some pics, its gonna be amazing. O ya by the way the shopping here is rediculous girls, everytime i see the shoes, handbags, and bathingsuits all for less than $7 i laugh and think of the ones who didnt wanna come to thailand. I took some pics for ya which i'll post in a few days. I def laughed today when i was looking at a wall of hundreds of girls bakini's all under $10. Alright I'm outta here, hopefully i didnt leave anything out. I'll be posting in the next few days.
