back from krabi and the 2nd bad case of false bravado
Hello!I'm back! And very badly burnt...again.
Anyway, Krabi is a very nice place to go. The beaches are sandy white and waters crystal clear..and best of all..NO SAND FLIES!!! Hahahha. So the beaches there can go! :)
Maybe it was CNY or something..but the entire place was swamped with Ang Mohs. Looking around amidst the seas of Caucasian faces and you would be inclined to think that you are on a beach in the Carribean than Krabi, Asia.
Anyway, we stayed at Ao Nang town and spent a 2 days on Phi Phi Island. We did a Sunset Tour which included island hopping and kayaking as well as canoed around the Hong Islands. It was totally fantastic!!
Ah, and then there were the bunches of topless women! More incentive for the men to want to visit Phi Phi I guess. Heh.
Will put up the photos when i get them from mich and th. forgot my camera for the trip. :(
The whole trip was great, except for the fact that 1 of our party was pissing the hell out of us for the whole trip. The whole company sort of banded together because we were all so annoyed.
This fella is none other than the guy below.
It's actually quite hard to make everyone unanimously hate/disgusted with you, you know.
The main problem with this fella was that he tells a big bunch of lies just to fit in with the group. Or maybe it's to appear cool or have us look up to him, i dunno. But anyway, he was telling lie after lie about how he drinks, smokes and travels when every other thing about him just screamed the opposite.
Kinda reminds me of someone else i know, but well, that's another story.
Anyway, I won't bore you with the details of what a jackass he was, but on the last day (when we were all so pissed off with him) when he had finished using all his Thai baht, we didn't offer to lend him any money (because he always tries to not return!) and refused to share any food or water with him during lunch so he had nothing to eat until he reached the airport. We also made him sit alone on the plane home. We were that disgusted.
Moral of the story?
Don't pretend to be someone you are not. People can see through the lies and will generally think you are an idiot. If you have bad luck, you get stuck on a trip with people who have no qualms exposing you for what you are.
