Yeah, I'm reading Jack Keorack right now, and I'm in Alex Garland's Backbacker's ghetto, Khao San Road. The epitome of tourism and capitalism in Thailand. To be realistic, though, it's still extremely cheap and incredibly entertaining.
I'm a bit lit right now, I'm in a club at about 1am taking advantage of their free enternet. I think it's about noon back home. Crazy.
Anyway, my bowels are doing fantastic when you consider some of the sketchy places we've been eating. 20 bhat for a meal if you leave Khao San. Talk to you guys in a bit.

dude, knock on on some polypropylacetate... you've been there for a few days. And yes... I imagine your trip to be exactly and precisely like Alex Garlands' "the Beach" (not the movie, the book). I can't wait for the bit with the crazy people and the swim to the island and the almost getting killed by drug lords.
It's what I'm hoping for. I already feel as if I'm "In Country".
There were a few times when we left Khao San and ate at some little tents with the locals. I ate a plate of rice with chicken and peppers that immolated my mouth. It was 15B, which is about 60 cents.
