The Refugee Boat Revisited
January 10, 2003 The Night Boat to Suranthani, Thailand

Travel in Thailand is ridiculously easy. Well, arranging it is, at least. I just walked in to a travel agent in Haad Rin, said I wanted to go to Khao Sok, and the guy made a phone call and wrote me three tickets. That night a taxi took me to the pier and I boarded another refugee boat, which arrived at Suranthani at 4 am. After 15 minutes of confusion about weather or not to get off, since there was no anouncement, I staggered off and found a taxi waiting for everyone else. That took us to the travel agent where we watched "Bad Company," a bad movie, and two hours later a guy on a motorbike took me to the bus station, which featured a rooster crowing loudly every few minutes. The only snafu was that the "air con bus" turned out to be a pickup truck, so I had to spend the two hour trip in the back.
