Krabi

Sunday, January 29, 2012

Alright kids, brad Pitt again, just gonna fill you in on our first day in krabi and our first night out. Again this goes without saying, but we made some absolute shocking decisions. The first came when we got off the bus to krabi. It was 8:30 in the morning and we needed to get a taxi into town and somewhere to stay. Whilst wandering around looking for a taxi, a man popped out from nowhere and offered us a taxi, darius by this point was knackered as he didn't sleep on the 12 hour bus ride and so mentioned this. The guy obviously thought he could rip us off and said he had a place but only one room available. I'm just gonna add that we were a little sceptical about the whole thing considering the pictures weren't that great. So were driving down some dodgy looking road until the taxi, filled with around 20 people, stopped. Everyone looked over to their right n saw n absolute state of a village hut, no joke everyone looked up n thought oh god whose been mugged off and below and behold it was me and darius. To make matters worse as I was getting out the taxi I slipped and fell over, nightmare. Anyway, we were met by 'bob marley' as we called him who said he had full availability and a couple had just checked out of our room, no doubt ran away. As bob let us in, we had a little look round, the toilet was blocked with the most horrible stained water n a smell tht wasn't pleasant. The bed sheets had holes and it was dirty, cobwebs everywhere an worst of all no safe, something that worried us straight away. By this time we were standing there deliberating our nxt move, what we didn't know was bob was standing outside our door listening in, mare. Eventually we decided to go look for a new place in town but leave our travelling bags in the room. Before setting off we said our potential goodbyes to our clothes.

An hour and a half later, after walking more than 4 miles and having encountered many rejections, we eventually found a place. The room wasn't great but it was a hundred times better than the one were currently at and even better due to the fact that it had a safe. Having secured a new place to stay we decide to head back to the old place. Dav asked me to grab all the bags whilst he chatted to the man, in the end he made some lie tht we were goin to visit friends on another island, which he didn't really appreciate so we quickly got away. By now we were both ciabattered n decided to chill on a beautiful beach before heading out in the evening for our first night out.

That evening we got all dressed, me n my White shirt an 3 quarter lengths and Dav in his shirt and trendy shorts. We headed down to get some food, but as we got to the restaurant I noticed a guy who looked just like bob Marley, then I realised it was 'two bob, bob marley' and I had n error by making it plainly obvious by pointing him out to darius, he was not happy having told him we were leaving the island, mare. Anyway, whilst having dinner, I managed to spill Half my masaman curry down my shorts, n after wiping it profusely it looked like i had wet myself, mare. In the end me and manky foot left to go visit some bars, the streets are aligned with shops that sell tailor made suits, but each having their own personal pest who stands outside targeting people. Me wearing my new shirt, i was constantly harassed and asked if I had got mine down saville row. In the end we settled for a lively little bar where the barmen were about 10 years old. The drinks here were cheap and the music was good, though we began to realise we were dressed as if we were heading to some swanky club as everyone was dressed in vests and short shorts. Anyway, after a few drinks and looking out of place we decided to show our wonderful dancing talents. As we danced the night away, darius managed to get chatting to a nice girl from Manchester, though the true beauty that await him was in the form of a Swedish non-English speaking girl who after ten minutes of well, I say chatting it was more hand movements as neither could understand what the other was saying. Inevitably darius joined me and we got chatting to the Manchester girl and her mates, I say Manchester girl, me n Dav cnt remember her name even though she told us three times. Anyway as we chatted, the girl said to me "why are you dressed as hitlers youth" before asking "why is darius dressed as a young school boy". By now we both thought we had made a massive error, though things didn't get any better for darius as he turned around and noticed sweden walking towards him, so he leaned in for a hug only to realise she had walked right past him and blanking him, I have to admit I was nearly in stitches because of it. Bye
