currently writing a biographical musical, starring zach (casting still in talks)

Three days alone in Bangkok is too much for any person to bare. Finally Kip arrived, but by that time I fear I had lost half of my lung capacity to pollution. We set off on a bus that was allegedly "air condition only" but was suspiciously VIP in nature. There were fancy pillows, snacks, meals, Thai suspense films and music blaring at every brief stop.

We pulled into Krabi while it was still dark and about four hours earlier than I had anticipated. After realizing we were in the right place we leapt off the bus, hoping to be rid of such torture for good. There was a good deal of time here while we tried to figure out where to head and were expectedly harrassed by touts offering the ultimate getaway. Eventually we took a pickup to Ao Nang where we caught a long tail boat to Rai Leh beach. (For reference see "The Beach" as they filmed many scenes on this peninsula and on a neighbouring beach). It's been a wonderful experience so far. There are a handful of bungalows and restaurants and not much else. Tomorrow we hope to go sea kayaking and explore the caves and islands in the area.

Kip is a great travelling companion and I may keep her. If she annoys me, though, I might try to sell her in Bangkok when we go to pick up Ross on the 28th. She would fetch a fair price. Will keep you all posted.
