It’s been a while since I’ve penned anything of late, so I thought it high time I tell the horrendous tale of the return to Bangkok and Bishkek. Eventually – if you bare with me -I will finally get up to date and bring you into my current world. Jump on in – the water …

The Death Wank
I always believed that something to do with sex would be the death of me. I dunno man, just a funny feeling. Like I’d turn my head while driving a car to look at a huge pair of boobs and wrap the vehicle around a lampost. Or step into the road while staring at an …

Back in Bangkok, medical snake farms and losing my way
Bangkok wasn’t any less rainy that the rest of the country. Well maybe it was – it wasn’t the torrential downpour that had engulfed the south of Thailand, but it was enough to make things generally miserable. Alex was back and forth to the teaching job fair in the hotel across the road, leaving me …

Hitchhike to India leg 63: Ranong to Bangkok
Alright, so I’ve not written one of these in a while, which is what I seem to be doing of late – nothing at all. I shall remedy this in due course, as there are things to tell. Stories to regale you with. The usual utter filth and debauchery you have come to expect from …

The wildlife of Koh Phayam.
It starts off well enough. Chilling by the beach, playing board games, going out for meals. Sexy time. Then things start to take a turn for the worse – most notably with the lack of wifi. No, I’m kidding. Maybe. No, honestly I am – I don’t need to check facebook 20 times a day …

Hitchhike to India leg 62: Khao Sok to Ranong
The second hitchhike with the American begins a little shakily, and it’s the first test of our ability to travel together. This is why I prefer (and generally do) hitchhike solo. We’ve been waiting a good while at the end of the village road – which should usually be a great spot – but with …

Khao Sok National Park
What the hell am I doing here? Speeding across a vast, deep, dammed lake with 15 other randoms, sat low in a motor-canoe type thing, all the while on the way to a trek into dense Thai jungle, to then go potholing through a daylight-void cave of inky blackness. Oh I know – it’s because Alex …

Hitchhike to India leg 61: Phuket to Khao Sok National Park
If it had been up to me, I’d probably have been sleeping in a bar in Phuket town instead of writing this somewhere close to completing a round trip from Bangkok to Singapore. Currently, I’m not wearing the trousers. Alex has a bee in her bonnet about a day visit to the Khao Sok National …

Phuket – overrun shit-hole. Mostly.
The province of Phuket is an interesting place, depending on who you are and what you’re looking for. There is, as they say, something for everyone, but not necessarily everything for someone. Or something. Anyway, the highlight of my stay here is of course, reuniting with my Bishkek baby and partner in crime Alex, as …

Hitchhike to India leg 60: Trang to Phuket
I sleep in. This is because I’m still exhausted from yesterday’s hitch, and I know that if I surely can make the remaining 287 km to Phuket with relative ease. But nothing ever comes that easy in the hitch world. Or does it? It’s 11 am and bright with sunshine as I hand my key …
