Heading down south.

Well, after five days in Bangkok, I'm ready to move on. It's amazing how the heat and relaxed nature of this place saps all motivation, which explains the lack of an updated in the past few days. I was planning on leaving Bangkok on Friday, but decided to stay through the weekend. It's a minor extension, as I've met some people who have been staying at the guest house for almost two months; I figure I should move on before I do the same.

I'm going to be taking an overnight bus to Chumphon, and from there a catamaran out to Koh Samui. I'm planning on staying in Koh Samui for a few days and then traveling up to Koh Phangan for the October Full Moon Party. While not really my scene, I've been told that, like Carnival in Rio or Mardi Gras in New Orleans, it's one of those things you should see at least once in your life. I'll probably only spend four or five days in Samui, after that I'll head back up to Bangkok and then out to Cambodia to see Angkor Wat; I should be back in Bangkok on 7 November.
