Patriots and paradise

Hello, currently Maggie and I are staying on another island called koh chang off the southwestern edge of Thailand. We went to Burma for a visa run a couple days ago and are now making our way down to Malaysia and then on to Singapore.



This past week in Bangkok


I was able to catch my second patriots game , this time at 4am Monday in Bangkok. The patriots played the jets and I set the alarm for 345 am, Maggie slept in and thought I was crazy, but I was completely happy heading down to khao son rd to the 24 hr bar to see the pats.

Upon arriving the first thing I noticed was all the late night revellers still trying to put down the last drink or make that play on a girl or guy for a one night stand in Bangkok. I'm not drinking alcohol on this trip so it was quite a spectacle to see everyone in smoky bar doing their thing, but so I got a cup of tea and some chicken wings and settled in. The patriots took an early lead and everyone looks at me funny when i cheer cause they have no idea what I am cheering for.

As we got closer to 5am and 6am, the bar began to turn into a breakfast buffet with a few straglers still drinking beers in the dawn hours, but mostly we had early morning go getters up to get some breakfast and to head out to see Bangkok. Anyways, back to our island paradise.




Maggie and her new friend Tao, a cat we met after hiking to the other side of the island where we are staying, we passed through a rubber plantation,


small villages, and plenty of jungle to find on the other side, at first ......nothing, we found some bungalows but no places for food, then finally, once we thought we would be hiking home hungry, we found this restaurant with a nice ocean view,



and great food all for under 10$. Maggie fell in love with the cat Tao and we hiked home happy. A couple more days on this rustic island and we will be on the move again. Happy belated thanksgiving to everyone.
