hard to believe I haven't posted anything on massage here. have paid between 100-300B for hour-long massage. That's about $3-10. nice that thailand keeps massage accessible for all vs being financially exclusive like it is in the US (not unlike skiing).

re: the weather here, it has been almost entirely hot/humid throughout. at times and in places we have reserved mid-day for respite in our climate-controlled room (when we have been lucky enough to have 'air-con'). It is definately something one endures vs enjoys. it's the settings/food/culture that is enjoyable, not the weather!

setting off from koh lanta for malaysia today. that's the goal anyway. as usual, we are at the mercy of many variables. it will be an indirect (if not meandering) and multi-mode route/means. minibus to trang, change to different minibus to hat yai, big bus to butterworth (near penang), spend night there and take 5hr train ride to KL (kuala lumpur) tomorrow. this is of course all 'in theory'.
