The bus journey to the ferry was an experience and a half. They don’t seem to have speed limits in Thailand. And if there’s someone on a scooter in front then they just beep their horn until they move onto the hard shoulder. When we arrived at the ferry we had enough time to have a quick meal, which was good, as me and mike were hanging out our arses from the heavy meet and greet session the night before.
The idea of getting a speed boat to a paradise island may create an image of cruising over the sea with the sea breeze in your hair, but the reality was less idyllic. Now picture having 40 people cramped onto one speed boat, their entire luggage, and more. In the tiny little toilet was a plant so there was no use of those facilities. Now you have that image imagine being on that boat for just over 2 hours hanging out your arse. Not the kind of transport you imagine when being taken to a paradise island is it now. But when we arrived at the island, paradise it was, clear blue seas, white sandy beaches, watching the bright tropical fish dart in and out of the coral beneath the boat. We had locals waiting for us when we arrived to take our luggage to the resort, which I realise sounds a bit tarquin but it really isn’t, we still had to walk to the other side of the island with our hand luggage. When we finally arrived at the resort it was perfection, palm trees, white sand, clear seas, and bars on the beach. Which we soon found out were incredibly nice and getting drunk on the beach in paradise is something else. So once again me and mike got drunk and only just turned up in time for class (well we had a reputation to keep up now). This was only because we thought it started half hour before it actually did. This was the routine for a couple of days, until I realised I was spending too much so I thought it a good idea to have a night of no alcoholic beverages at all. This made me feel a lot better the next day. But the next night was not such an easy going night, a lot of us went to the bar we went to on the first night called Thai Thai. The people there are very friendly, their names are Mon, Bau, Loon and God. On this night our teachers joined us at this bar, so we got incredibly drunk, and went swimming, which because of the intoxication that we were all inflicted by ended up becoming skinny dipping. Me and mike were the only lads that were naked with 4 girls, which are all rather bangtidy. As we had drinks in the sea and we needed to take the glasses I decided to be a gentleman and take them all back to shore, still naked with one hand cupping myself with my shorts and the other full of glasses teacher Sanjiit went to shake my cupping hand, so I Manginaed and shook his hand. As there was a group of Thai women on the table next to the teachers I thought it impolite to ignore them and said hello in Thai, and bowed, all while doing, a rather good I must say, Mangina, which they giggled at (it was rather cold out of the water). When I got back into the sea the girls had decided that it would be a good idea to swim out to one of the boats and climb aboard, mike had got out of the sea by this point so it was me and 4 naked ladies on this little fishing boat. Being on a boat with 4 naked lovely ladies and not show your appreciation is very hard (no pun intended) but I managed it. So the first week was eventually over and my nervousness of teaching had diminished, I was really looking forward to it now. So we had a party to celebrate, we all bought alcohol and sat in our classroom getting incredibly drunk until we ran out of alcoholic beverages, and moved onto Thai Thai. At Thai Thai we took over their music, playing from our own MP3 players, I was Top DJ for the night banging out tune after tune, Pete Tong eat your heart out.
