Fuckwits are us.

Slept in, so missed our air-con air to go to Kho Chang. Arse!

Got my dreads done, costing 1200 bhat, as I had extentions as well. Feels wierd to have hair. Sam keeps staring at me in a strange quizative sort of way. I was a side-show freak during the process of getting it done. Sat on the side of the road on Kao San people just came and gorped at me.

Anyway, we have sorted the getting out of Bangkok thing. Got ourselves to the bus station, and caught a bus to Trat, near the southern coast. It took us about 5-6 hours to get here. We've had to stay here the night, as by the time we got here it was too late to catch a ferry. Not bad though, we got a nice guest house. Guy Guest House was on the recomendation of Eric, a French Traveller we met at the bus station. His friend owns a pizza resturant across the road from the guest house. He also said the Kho Chang is really built up and full of tourists now, and said that Kho Maak is a better island. So it now looks like the 3 of us will be catching a ferry to Kho Maak tomorrow at about 3pm I think. It takes 3 hours by ferry.

Kho Maak is a small island, only 16km across. The electricity only comes on at night, and there are only 500 people who live there. Sounds like a perfect paradise island to me. Also we can get to some smaller islands that are near to Kho Maak, these are less than half a mile across. So we can really experience the full Robinson Crusoe thing. Can't wait!
