Kota Bharu

Well I have roused myself from a life of idleness once again and left the fine but very hot islands of Perhentian and am currently in the last city before the Thai border. A number of the people that I have spoken with say that it should be OK to cross the border and go to Krabi they also advise me not to linger in the border provinces longer then I have to. For those of you that have missed the news the Thai army just killed over a hundred people a few kilometers north from here.

This happened on the boat over.

She, “Why aren’t we going yet”

He, “I don’t know”

“This was supposed to be a fast boat”

“I don’t know”

“I think I am getting seasick”

“Oh”

“Why aren’t we going yet”

Me, “Let me guess you’re English?”
