Thailand Continued

sunset at Ko Chang

where "The Beach" was filmed
such pretty places :)
Ok so I left off at the elephants but i will not tell you about Thai Massage.... WE were in bangkok and ther was this massage place by our hostel.. there are massage places everywhere and the women sit outside and try and get you in... it was really really funny to watch them. One time me and one of the boys walked by and the lady said in her thai whiney accent "lovely lady, lovely boy, want massage, massage, not now but later"  and we could not stop laughing... anyways we were on our way back to the hostel at like 1030 and 3 of us decided to get a massage for half an hour before bed... it was only 3 US dollars so the boys were in for sure! They took us upstairs into a room with lots of mats and pillows and had us lay down... then we say there were 2 women massagers and one man... i didnt want a man to massage me cause thats creepy but i figured the boys would not want that either.. but when they came to us the man massager when to bryan... they started the massage and the boys were laughing because they felt awkward and one had never had a massage... the massage was normal for a while then they started putting us in these weird positions and we were all a little freaked out... the lady had me sit up and pulled my arms back be hind me and put her feet on my back and then pushed and cracked my whole back... there was a lot more stuff like this which was really funny... one of the ladies wrapped her legs around on of my friends and cracked him that way... it was the most bazar thing ever but it felt great after... 
Next place ill talk about it Ko Phi Phi which was the most beautiful place i have ever seen... we took a day boat trip around all the little islands/beaches around there and i was in awe the whole day. We went to the beach where the movie "the beach" was filmed with leonardo dicaprio... It was absolutely breathtaking... there were endless cliff in the middle the water on the trip untouched by man and it was indescribable... we started the trip off snorkling which i didnt think i would be brace enough to do but the boys convinced me i was being a sissy and that i would regret not doing it so i decided to go in. in all my gear before i got in i asked the guide (who didnt speak great english) to promise me there were no sharks... his reply to me was that if there were they would be small and only bite off a finger or toe... seeing as i wanted both of those body parts i was really nervous but i finally went in... the coral and the fish were sooo coool too see... sadly, it is still a little broken from the tsunami a while back... i was doing well snorkling til i saw a little jelly fish and i freaked out and that was the end of my snorkling haha... at a few other beaches there was more snorking but as soon as i saw a jelly fish there i was out of the water super fast... we went to a monkey beach where we saw a monkey up in the trees but the guides said they weren't hungry or they would be down on the beach with the tourists... i was glad i got to at least see some of the monkeys though... the sad there was soo while and felt like putty under you feet... it was crazy... after all of these beaches and stuff we stopped the boat in the middle of the water and watched the sunset.... it was so cool cause we saw nothing but water and sky...it was a fabulous day
we spent a few days there hanging out on the beach and relaxing which was something i wont get to do again til school is done!  I will write more when i have some more good stories to tell... p.s. there are tonssss of trannies in Bangkok haha it was funny
