I biked through the jungle after landing about 2 hours South of Bangkok, into Phuket to see a great waterfall plus lots of jungle tracks by animals big enough to eat my husky dog, no doubt!! It was just me on my loaded bike with all my photo equipment, lots of bottled water, and some dried snacks for the trip. And lots of fanta orange, tee, hee. 
The scenery is breathtaking. Blues, greens, the clear air... everything going on until the end of time.
I was in Kata, Karon, and Patong where I saw wild elephant tracks on the beach (too cool) and the occassional German skinny-dipper. The seascape is so prehistoric. Even the sea eagles were as big and fluffy as American bald eagles (ie, don't mess with them!) Here want a sandwich? Oh, take my whole arm? Suuure...! No problem! *HEY somebody get me OUTTA here!!*
Hill villiagers walking around with nothing nore than scraps of clothes to cover what they didn't want scortched by the sun, offering us ice cold cokes in glass bottles for 16 Baht (1 dollar = 37 baht), or a sun shade whittled out of bamboo for 100 Baht. (Nelly's conversion rate: $3, or about 1/2 a Guinness)
Ok... Grummmphh! [fumbling with picture noise] Be back soon for pics in glorious RGB!
