You look wasted as well Marmers.

A wee bit tired maybe....

Actually, I was up at dawn the following morning (fek knows why!).

Totally agree with Marmite, Palolem beach is lovely. I stayed at Calangute back in '99 but it just done my head in, a real shithole and after a heavy night on the K and M at a party I upped and left and took a bus further south.

Come across Palolem beach and stayed with an Indian family there in there attached room for about 80 rupees a night. Absolute bliss, fishing every day with a bamboo rod off the rocks (bit further along from the main beach), bit of puff and a shark steak everynight, sorted.

The real magic of it though was everyday they sent there 18 yr old virgin daughter in my room to wash me. It seemed a bit odd at first but I got used to the idea after about 30 seconds. Suffice to say she wasn't a virgin when I left.



And for some stupid fucking reason, I came to Thailand got stuck here and as yet have never made it back. Every year I promise myself to go back to India, but it never seems to happen. I expect a few of you are the same.

I'd like to check out Kerala as well, next year maybe!

I'd like to check out Kerala as well, next year maybe!

Kerala was ok, but the beach life isn't as good, but the houseboat on the canals was wonderful.

I'm not one for beachlife really, the canals look lovely though.

I spent the millenium new year in Palolem, out on a rock in the sea. I think I may have munched a little too much hash coz me only friend on that rock was a shrew that kept popping over to have some of my water and I'm sure I see 3 shooting stars that night though on refelection I reckon they were small meteorites which are far more common to see. I'm sure the local fishermen were looking funny at me too.


Anyone else like me, travelled in Asia by doing the India then Thailand route and never made it back to India? I remember a friend telling me that if I wanted to travel the world then be careful not to get stuck in Thailand coz its a trap for wasters like me. 5 years later my nicknames 'bkkmadness' and I still haven't travelled anywhere else. And me friend with the sound advice is still stuck here too.



Ok, honestly, next year back to India, for sure!



Now can someone start a Nepal thread? That place was fucking heaven.
