Thailand Part 2

On the morning that Matt and I left Koh Pagnon we were shook down by the police for a large sum of money and threatened with prison.  I'm not going to discuss the details of the incident but perhaps people who've known me for a long time can form a few theories.  "What could Eric have done to be extorted by the authorities in Thailand?"  Here's a picture of me sending out an SOS the moment I could make international calls in Koh Phi Phi...and some beautiful pics of the island itself.

My Trouser Snake

Two snakes get pretty heavy.

Anyone who knows me well knows that I have a soft spot for big felines and while the beaches and nightlife in Thailand are to die for, the tiger temple is the real reason I came.

Hey Mom and Dad...who knew that all you had to do to get me to smile in childhood photographs was to sit me next to half a ton of muscle and teeth?

Bridge over the River Kwai...for all you history buffs.
