Back in Thailand: Randomness from Koh Phi Phi and Railay

• Songkram is the wettest holiday: massive squirt gun fights in the streets, pails being emptied over you, and painted elephants spraying water out of their hoses. 
•  A hammock, a good book, water, and sunblock are all you ever need. 
• Bamboo Island lacks bamboo, Mosquito Island lacks mosquitoes, Shark Island lacks sharks, and the island where "The Beach" was filmed lacks Leo DiCaprio.  
• Beach parties on Koh Phi Phi consist of free buckets of vodka, beach-goers jumping through hoops of fire, and limbo sticks on fire.
