Beach Storm


Lone boat with approaching storm, Ko Phi Phi island, Thailand

A storm just caught us sitting under a make shift internet hut on the beach. The cold Singha will have to wait because when it rains, it really rains.

Phi Phi has been a return to a younger than Koh Lak and more party lusting crowd. Also I met a lady who I think I could be if I were not so prissy. We went diving with this gnarly looking, freckled all over, wiry Ozzy woman who talks like a dike and splits her time teaching skiing and mounteneering. Sadly I can't ski. I do hope that if I end up weathered and cowgirl-esque in a decade or so to carry it with such grace.

The beach here is littered with wonderful bars spilling out their big pillows onto the sand, stoners singing soul music, Thai ladies giving massages right on the beach for 300 bhat and long tail boats showing up every night with the freshest fish. I do love Thailand.
