Thanks OTS. That's one of the enjoyments of photography, walking familiar sois, beaches etc, but seeing them in a different way and paying more attention to detail. Love it.Some really great photo's you snapped there BB.
Comfortably Numb: The total contentment trip.

Cheers and good to hear you are considering the place. Nice convenient spot to escape the madness of the bigger resorts but still something to do there.There's got to be a one liner in that Thai Wood photo...

After dinner we head down to the bar area and try to find some beer.... We hit Hornblowers again, and chill over a few cold ones and shoot the breeze while observing Caddy Shack opposite. Soi Binthabaht is next on our itinerary and a couple of bars there before coming back about 1.30 am to have a swift one in Caddy Shack. The owner of our GH is down the back of the place, we reckon he is secretly one of us, but we don't push him on it. Pop from earlier in the afternoon is tapping away on her laptop, and she seems much more interested in yakking to her friends on the various messenger applications than anyone around her.
The owner of the Celtic reckons one of the bars up the the late area will be open, and sure enough when we get there it is. Hidden away in the corner, the Thai owner obviously has some agreement with the BiB about staying open. Our host from the GH makes a beeline for the LB working there, we smile to each other with knowing nods.
Putytat is on for a late night, and is keen to check out this beach bar we have been talking about. So after some drinks we head there. The usual suspects for the previous 2 nights are present. This turns is our latest night so far in HH, I think we get home around 7.30 am, escorted by an amazing skyline.

Cheers Petesie, how do you think I feel. Nah to be honest the short trip was just enough for me this time, saw all the faces and places I wanted to see, except the elusive "cutie" whose mysterious absence and whereabouts is finally solved on my last night.Thanks for the excellent pics BB..which are doing a damn good job of making me homesick...

AS we pass Playboy I glance over at the now deserted bar where many a guy has met his "destiny" but where is she now I wonder. The wondering did not last long, for all of a sudden my name is called, and there is Tara in the bar next to Playboy. Who should be with her, but the one and only Emily oh and yeah some chick called Pookie.
Well I suggest to NW does he fancy having a liquid break and get some refreshments inside us to tide us over until we are on our way to WS. He is never one to argue over such a serious issue and so we perch ourselves up at the bar and I do the introductions. The girls tell me they are happy to see me back after such a long time, pak wan, and other niceties. NW goes to spend 5 Baht and while he is away Tara turns to me and says" You friend is very nice guy, where did you find it?" you gotta laugh. Tara and Emily are eager to get their photos taken, Tara knows the value of publicity. Alas bad news gents, Pookie has a new camera shy policy and so no images of the one and only, doesn't someone have copyright on that expression? Anyway Pookie says she is taking a break from the bar scene, while we chat at... the bar, and that when she finally comes back she plans to have a new hair style and a real tanned body, time will tell.
I look at my watch and can make out it's now about 3.30 am, man I realise I have been drinking constantly now for 12 hours, since we arrived in Sally's in mid afternoon. Like my vision, the rest of the night is a bit of a blur from this point on. What I do remember is ringing "cutie" and finally getting an answer. The girl on the other end claims to be her friend, that "cutie" is home and gave her her mobile. In my tipsy state I have no way of knowing if it actually is "cutie" herself or not, mai pen rai.

I get a call from EyeMahk about noon,(the time, not an LB ) to let me know he is near town. The previous day he had sent me a text to book him a room in the Celtic, his regular GH also when he is in HH. He arrives 20 minutes later, and we catch up briefly. I mention to him we are heading off for a drive in in a while, but he he has that mischievous glint in his eye that those who know him will recognise. That look tells me he is on a mission for the afternoon, he spares me the details, for now.
NW and I grab some food in the Celtic and wander up to meet Putytat at his hotel near the NIght Market. We jump into his car, and head south to the end of the beach, to Khao Takiab. Here there is a golden Buddha and around the corner and up the hill there is a temple, with a lot of damn monkeys. Before we alight the car I suggest me put our camera straps around our necks and hold on to them, these mischief makers could make of with them pretty fast gibbon half a chance boom boom.
