yeah it was a shame you weren't there exile. Not sure I fancy heading out with you and the misses though, could be a bit limiting! Having met her I don't think she'd want to go anywhere near Bangla. I've penciled in October for the next trip finances permitting.

Day 6
Now, I have a bit of history with the Kathu police, especially their traffic department as on my previous visit I managed to get two tickets in a 24 hour period. "Not this time" I thought "I'm savy to all their tricks, I won't get caught" I thought. Carefully parking my bike in a line of almost 100 other machines just accross the road from my hotel, I felt happy I had parked correctly and would be immune from prosecution. Was I bo!locks. At some point in the night the side of the road on which you can park magically changes to the opposite side. After I wake from the night before I take a stroll to the front of the hotel and am stunned to find that during the night 100 motorcycles have moved to other side of the road. I look around for my bike... it wasn't hard to find, mine was the only bike now parked on the wrong side of the street. Didn't even bother going over to it as I could see from the hotel reception that it had a chain through the rear wheel, bastards. Took the keys back to the rental shop next door, when they asked where the bike was I just pointed randomly over my shoulder and said "it's the black one over there". Got my passport back and legged it back to the hotel to meet scrappy for lunch. After lunch I dissapeared for a few hours to do some 'shopping' and left Scrappy to occupy himself for the afternoon. Met up with him in Faulty Towers in the early evening and he looked a changed man; all dressed up in a pair of Diesel commandos and a tight white t-shirt. His intentions were clear, he was the man tonight and I was the *****. Wrestled down a giant faulty burger and felt sick. Dinner over with we hit the town and the routine of beer, connect four, black death, women, beer, women. We got very drunk... Badly burnt my mouth trying to eat a piece of hot pizza at about 2 o'clock in the morning. Nasty business. Couldn't chew anything for next 3 days!

Been a bit slack recently on the trip report due to working insane hours so time for a catch up.
Scuba Diving, Tits, and the plane of death. Day 7 After the parking ticket incident I needed to chill out for a while and decided to go scuba diving with Scrappy. We booked up with Scuba Cat for the following day and we were collected from our hotel at a totally unreasonable hour the following morning. We staggered on board the bus still stinking of last nights booze and found our fellow divers were a of mixture of nervous looking students (of which I was one) and trendy diving instructors with jazzy hair cuts. The instructors all looked like something out of a Vidal Sassoon advert and I wondered what environmental impact their hair product must have of the sea life. By 9.00am we were on the boat and heading out to the reefs, it was a rough day at sea and we were getting tossed this way and that. After an hour or so we reached Koh Racha Noi (not sure I spelt that right) and I had some one on one time with my instructor who got me to go through some basic techniques so I wouldn't drown. He knew what he was doing and looked after me well making sure I didn't get myself into any trouble; despite their haircuts I would have to recommend Scuba Cat to any budding divers. After a few hours splashing about and damaging the coral the diving was over and we headed back to shore with plenty of stories to tell about close encounters with trigger fish and getting nipped by eels. A couple of young fit looking german girls got their open water cetificates and the hair cut brigade were swarming around them like sharks circling their pray. The ride back on the boat was even worse than on the way out and Scrappy felt sick as a dog. The waves were huge and the little boat we were in was listing heavily from left to right at 30-40 degree angles; I felt like Captian Jack Sparrow. Back ashore we partied into the into the night and I headed back to the pool bar to have another crack at tits. She looked as beautiful as ever with the rack from heaven on show as she bent over the pool table to play her shots. Purchased her some drinks and played some pool but just couldn't get her to really engage with me which p!ssed me off. I kept looking at those lovely airbags but it just didn't feel right with her. She was still hostile, not just to me but almost anyone who was male so I decided to call it a day; tipped her generously and left the bar. Felt a bit gutted because I knew we could have been pen pals but if she wasn't going to enjoy herself then what's the point? Day 8 Next day me and the Scrappy monster left Patong to head over to Pattaya for a few nights. Got to the airport and checked in for the Bangkok Airways flight to U-Tapao. We travelled out onto the run way in a bus which parked up next to a small plane with propellers. "Our plane must be parked behind that small one" I thought as we disembarked from the bus. "What's going on, why are we going onto that small plane with propellers? It doesn't even have proper engines" I said as we got on board the brightly painted plane. The words "I'm from Europe, does nobody here know we don't travel on these kind of planes!" was screaming inside my head but I kept my mouth shut so not to offend the pilot. I found my seat suprisingly quickly because there really weren't all that many to chose from! I became even more concerned when the stewardess asked me and scrappy to move seats so the aircraft would be balanced on take off. What kind of plane needs passengers to move so it's balanced on take off I thought... not a very good one. If it had proper engines it might not have this trouble! I considered writing a very strongly worded letter to the boss of Bangkok Airways but before I'd had a chance to pencil down my thoughts we were tearing down the runway for what seemed like an enternity before lifting off and very slowly climbing to our cruising altitude of 10 feet. Luckily we flew mostly over the sea so the planes lack of cruising height didn't cause too many problems. I was served with the obligatory inflight snack of peanuts which I opened with caution this time as I was worried that any sudden movements would have an adverse effect on the planes flight path. U-Tapao couldn't arrive quick enough and when it did the pilot was so happy to arrive he landed twice by bouncing the plane down the runway, it must have been a windy day... Once disembarked me and Scrappy collected our baggage and headed out to the taxi rank. TAKE NOTE, U-Tapao is 30 minutes by taxi from Pattaya and in the middle of no where. It's not a busy airport and the taxi drivers know the times the planes land and fix their prices. We had to pay 1000 baht for a 30 min journey into town, not good but we had no choice. We checked into the Areca Lodge hotel and got freshed up all ready for our first ever venture into Pattaya...
