Pass the passport

We spent last night at the hotel bar getting to know some of our fellow travelers. Nathan decided that asking a stranger who speaks English if they are American is the equivalent of asking a chubby woman if she's pregnant. It's an insult to non-Americans so most people ask if you're Canadian instead. We were going to rent mopeds for the day to explore the island but apparently you can't do that without passports, and we don't have those. We gave them to a very trustworthy guy named Noppy in Bangkok. He's working on getting us Somme visas while we travel the south. It's probably better we didn't rent though..if a taxi goes out of control and hits your rent-a-moped while it's parked on the street you are responsible for the full cost of the bike and any damages his taxi may have sustained. The logic that the accident never would have happened if you hadn't decided to visit Thailand holds up in court.
We booked a trip to snorkel, kayak and mountain trek in the Anathong marine park tomorrow.
We leave the island of Koh Phangan on Thursday for it's neighbor Koh Samui but may end up taking a ferry back on Thursday night for a world famous party, known for it's music, eclectic crowds and neon body paint. When in Rome...
