So when I got to BKK it was like 11pm and I was tired. There was a long ass line, maybe 60 or 70 people for the standard, taxi. I'm like eff that, so I walk around the corner where some sketchy dudes are like, "you need taxi? we have taxi! we take you anywher".

I get in with them, aware that it could be a scam. But I was tired and didn't think too clearly or care too much.
I arrive at Bill's place after like half an hour, and they say "ok 2000 BAHT" i'm like "that's too expensive'.

Oh yeah tehre are 2 sketchy taxi drivers not just one. So they look at eachother, then look at me and repeat "2000 baht". I kinda was scared, and was like oh well whatever, so I gave them 2000 Baht, and was a fish.

Moral of the story: Only ride in Taxi's with a meter, and make sure they start the meter when you get in.

Also, you will probably get scammed once, but learn your lesson.

It cost me 2000 Baht, not too much, so I learned cheap.
I didn't get scammed again.

Phi-Phi is the nicest place I have ever been. Can't wait to go back.

Obviously in the purest sense.
I made friends with as many people as possible, and love hangin out with people.
Bill and his friends went out to a bar, and I stayed and swam at the beach with a bunch of kids.

It was a lot of fun.

Did you only go to bars and such places to pick up girls or were there other different places where you got a number or sealed the deal?

How's the healthcare? Did you have health insurance while you were there?
