Some photies and a close call!

Phi Phi was awesome but had a bit of a hectic ending to it. Had a bit of a late night last night and ended up having a few beers on the beach with some people I had just met and we all decided it would be a good idea to go for a quick swim in a fancy hotel pool nearby. Unfortunately we made a bit too much noise and woke the security guards up. They were super bummed and decided to arrest me (cos I was the last one in or something stupid like that)! I managed to duck and dive for a minute or two by trying to talk to him but he eventually slapped some handcuffs on me. I was rattled!! You do not want to go to a Thai jail. So I offered him 1000 Baht (13 pounds) and he said no no no - go jail. That scared me even more cos it's not like he asked for more.
I thought it was no real use but offered him another 200 Baht anyway and he consulted with his mate and they agreed it was now enough to bribe my way out of it. Very strange. I'm pretty sure the whole thing was to scare me into paying my way out cos all Thai's are like that! Bribes etc everywhere. But a small price to pay for what could have been a nightmare. Will be on my best behaviour from now on!

My publicist is working on the next exciting chapter as we speak. Will have that link tomorrow. But here's some photos so far. Got some epic ones at Ko Phi Phi this week but haven't had a chance to get them off the memory stick yet... Will try tomorrow.
