"So I'm finally on the move again. We took the night ferry off of koh tao last night, which was pretty great, 11pm to 5am, 9 dollars, and juts crammed into a room with a bunch of mattresses on the floor. I probably got 3 hours sleep. Then hopped on a bus for Ranong on the west coast, 3 bucks, and now I'm sitting around waiting for kyle and cassidy to come back from their run to the burmese border to get there visas updated, I still have a few more weeks before I'll have to run to burma, but I'm curious to see how it goes for them. Hopefully we can get out of here on a ferry for some islands in the Andaman sea today, but I think the last ferry leaves at noon, so it'll probably be close, my guess is the visa thing will take them 3 hours or so, so if we get there it'll be just in time. not the end of the world though if we stay here, at least this is a legit town with legit thai people and more importantly legit thai food. After 10 days in koh tao, I'm kind of sick of the 5 thai dishes that tourist restaurants have decided are westerner appropriate. These islands on the west coast are supposed to be less touristy though, so who knows."
