First time ever in Thailand I came with a friend from The Royal Mail,a fellow Postman who had been to Thailand before,so his idea of adventure was staying on Kho Samui in a beach hut far from everyone at Moonhut. A grass roof accommodation with a hole in the floor for toilet,long drop onto the beach sand. He fancied himself as a potential SAS action man,and roughing it on a Samui beach was a start. Then We had to get the flight back to Bangkok ,and it poured with rain,Samui roads became rivers,and Taxis dissappeared,so a Policeman gave us a lift to the airport.The airport was packed with Farang women backpackers and being Daddy,s girls they where used to their pushy ways and wanted My reservation out,yes they demanded My seat. No way,so I got the last flight out late at night and somehow this little prop plane clambered through the black clouds,lightning flashing everywhere and the wind buffeting the plane. Made it to dong Muang and We got a taxi,My mate heads for Khao San Road,even the taxi driver said We should have gone to a hotel near the airport. Exhausted I get to this ROAD that My buddy must show Me. I want to sleep,and Tuk Tuk drivers are shoving pictures of naked girls in front of My face,now tiredness brings anger, I shout at him,"this place is full of fukcd up people" and backpackers doing their movie "The Beach" thing.
Next morning got up early to get back to the airport to get a connecting flight to New Zealand.
