		<description><![CDATA[So that's the end of another tour of Southern Thailand. We arrive back in Bangkok for a final three days. A month's accumulated junk litters the baggage carousel. As if this is not enough, Misty heads straight from the airport to Chatuchak Market in search of more, coming back with bagfuls, including, for me, three pairs of unusual shoes and a dozen T-shirts.

None of the tourist T-shirts with the lame English slogans (Same Same but Different, iPood, etc.), these are tasteful shirts with arty Thai squiggles on them. I wore the first one around Bangkok for hours before some kind soul stifled her guffaws long enough to point out that the squiggles meant something along the lines of, "I'm a sad mug who's desperate for a girlfriend". 

"My wife bought me this," I said by way of explanation. The shirt came off.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ahh! Thailand, land of banyans, backpackers, pork with basil, and other great things beginning with B. 

I am traveling around Thailand for the next month - on Koh Samui with the family today, then Koh Lanta, Krabi, Phuket and Khao Lak. 

I have my camera equipment with me, so if anyone wants help putting together a Waboba video for the Waboba Video Contest 2012 (and can catch us as we're passing through), just give us a holler.

Bangkok Airways chopped us up at 'bumi airport and put us through the mincer. The family arrived on Samui like grim survivors of the apocalypse, two in one plane, two in another, and our luggage in a third. It seems to be a general rule that staff in Thai companies spend their time troubleshooting a system that just doesn't work. We'll be choosing a different airline on the way back.

We've settled in a beach hut in Bang Rak, where we can lie, four in the bed, and watch the propeller planes sweep in at tree height over the sea. I've come to the conclusion that Bang Rak is a better beach than Lamai, which is better than Chaweng.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Birds fly south for the Winter. Salmon swim upriver to spawn. At full moon the lesser-spotted backpacker, doe-eyed and bulging with hormones, flocks to the island of Koh Phangan for a night of ritual jiggery, eyes wide and body painted day-glo technicolor rainbow.

The Wiki tells me that the monthly full moon parties on Koh Phangan's Haad Rin Beach started in 1985 and grew quickly, to the point now where they routinely draw in as many as 30,000 revellers.

		<description><![CDATA[So much for the rain. The newspapers were full of flood warnings as I set off on the second leg of my journey around Thailand, but it rained only three times on a three-week trip.

Those three rain storms all came on the first day as I drove down the east side to catch the ferry to Koh Samet. The rain came in blocks of sky, an aggravated shout that soon ran out of breath. For a while it was like driving through a liquidiser. Mostly, there was brilliant sun.]]></description>
