(Day 3) Sunday Seb. 20

I might have been sleeping a bit to much yesterday… got up at 5:30 am!
Had some breakfast at the restaurant (good superb food) at floraville and wondered what to do with my day …no possibility for some private mma training today (all the instructors was away fighting) and there is no schedule on Sundays!
Tried to get online.. but the wireless connection sucks… so did some swimming ( good for my shoulder that I managed to fuck-up just 14 days before… but only some muscular damage, the dislocated shoulder popped right back)…. (And here i need to make a note: remember NOT to swim in the sun without sunblock at middel of the day)…got burned :(
But while swimming I met a couple from Australia who became sick on arrival, they seemed nice… but my fucking memory did what it does best.. forgot there names! They told me of the Central mall down town. So after some lunch I went by cap to Phuket town to see this big mall and get some supplies… and quest what … I found a Starbucks (happy me!!!) after walking around for some hours and not getting a clue.. coffee ( with chocolate) and a muffin was pure happiness! ( note to big A… no strawberry / blueberry -pies!!)
Took a cap back at half the price it cost me to get there (200bt) and started this blog, checked my mail and did some Skype/messenger with people back home… day spend!

THAILAND (Tiger muay thai / MMA -camp) 2009






This is the tale of my first trip to Thailand

I had been planning this trip for more than one year… so off course….surprise…panic… "there is only 2 weeks till it starts"!!! Needed to check up on the last couple of things…
1. Passport
2. Visa?
3. Budget
4. And so on..
Note to me: remember that you don´t need to waite until last call if you need to check something or need to buy things!

(Day 1) Friday Seb. 18 and..
(Day 2) Saturday Seb. 19
Today has been a long day… started by driving to the airport… then realize that the seat (in the plain) was way too small, by being placed up against a curved wall, and that I was going to sit next to a BIG Chinese guy… that snorted, farted, smelled, punched and made funny noises ALL the way… at that time 10 hours seemed as a long time! But I was on my way! :) armed with “Got Fight” by Forrest Griffin ( I recommend that you read it…it´s awesome!! ) so time flow by (slowly)..I hate to fly it´s boooorrrrring!!!!

CBH /Bangkok 10 hours and no sleep as I had hoped! From Bangkok to Phuket 1 hour with a aircon directly at my face…then a little drive (30 minute with a cap arranged by TMT, so all I needed to do was to find the guy with my name on a sign) and I was arrived...

5 months ago I had TMT book me a room at Floraville bungalow resort http://www.floravillephuket.com/ it was one of the expensive ones but it was recommended me by Elina (shooters) who had been there before! … It was a good choice… What a nice place!
I spend the rest of the day eating, drinking, sleeping, figure out how to get online, update my budget on my laptop… and try to get familiar with the climate.
