The Beach, Redux

We are here in Koh Pei Pei.

Quite possibly the most gorgeous beach on the face of the planet. Certainly the most amazing I've seen. The nights in Phuket were a bit more than memorable in certain circumstances. Drinking till the sun comes up with Thai hookers on Valentine's day is one for the record books, I think.

I went to sleep last night at roughly 5am and still managed to catch a ferry here at 7. The water is the most crystal clear sea water I've ever seen. It radiates blues and greens that are simply stunning. We took a 4 hour boat trip around the cliffs of Pei Pei to snorkel and cliff jump. The snorkeling was awesome. Coral, sea urchins, parot fish, flying fish, jelly fish, angel fish, fishy fish. It was truly mind blowing. I'm sure when we hit the barrier reef my tune will be different... but for the moment, it's very fucking cool. Charlie claims to have seen a sea snake. I watched a large purple / blue parot fish kick ass on everything around a certain coral bed for 5 minutes.

The 40 foot cliff jumping was pretty mind blowing. The jagged rocks to climb to the top only made it worth a single jump, though.

We came back... drank Chang Beer as the sun set... and had a fantastic meal. I'm now here in an internet shop, 4 beers deep, whist I realize "The World" is just waking up to go to work. I fucking love Thailand. It's Europe's vacation spot.

Can you still use your dong there? Will 5000 of them get you anything good?

I'm so glad you're having the time of your life. That's what you're supposed to do. Nothing new around here. Joe's lying about Survivor...he lasted one half of one episode! When are you off to AU & NZ? Pay special attention in NZ (and bring us honey), you know I want to know all about it (and there's fabulous stuff to do there).
