We are all thinking the same thing, Jay is too lazy to write his own damn blog (posting once every month.. sigh) so who is writing it this time? Well, i don't wanna give away too much but lets just say he's handsome, strong, good with the ladies, an awesome poker player and pretty much the best person in the world. Yes, it's me, Mårten. Unfortunately I have two whole weeks to recap but im thinking im gonna keep it rather short anyways.
When James left us he left a big hole in our hearts... We needed someone from the outside to come here and make us happy again. Good thing for us, Johan, Niklas and Shahin from are Office back in Swedn had decided to come down here on the 1st of March so didnt have to wait for long. These three nutters are just what we need to keep thing interesting around here (: Low limit poker players as they are, they have very small brains... but they make up for it by partying BIG (Well, not Shahin, hes a bit of a woman when it comes to alcoholic beverages and dancing) Hehe.
Anyways, The guys barely got to drop their stuff at our house before we left for Koh Phi Phi again to party and meet up with Vito and his brother Yan. We got an awesome hotel just on the main street with windows looking out, and just outside our door we had our favourite place, Velvet Dojo. Owned by New Yorkers they played great old school rap such as NWA, Biggie and Wu Tang. We stayed in Phi Phi two days partying, had a great time. First night was epic since theres a bar there called Reggae bar where you can go in the muay thai ring and fight your friends! After a couple of drinks Soren felt like a champion and duelled another Swedish poker player we met there, Ante Svante. He was at least 20 kg heavier than soren (Soren is already 1.90 cm and 85+ kg) so u can just imagine the heavy weight fight we all witnessed.
THEN NOT ONLY did Soren fight, but Anton and Johan challenged each other and Anton knocked Johan out the 2nd round! HAHA omg i dont think you can explain how good of a time ur having when ur watching ur friends have it out it the ring (: Since I was coaching Anton in the red corner i can say he pretty much won thanks to me...
Niklas and Jay were obviously terrible coaches and you can blaim his loss on them.
Heading back to Chalong we only had like 2 or 3 days here before it was time to go to Koh Pha Ngan and we made the best of it... playing poker (: Also, Friday night, we went to Suwit Stadium and watched some thai people punching each other which is always good fun (: First it was just kid fights but then We saw a Costa Rican girl mess up a thai girl with a knee to the head, and then a young swedish guy knock out a tall thai guy with a moustache only by punching, no kicking, haha. It was good fun. After the boxing me, Anton and Niklas met up with Emil and Johan in Patong for some partying (: We had the best time of our lifes and the guys back at home just laid in their beds crying wishing theyd come with us... poor little boys.
Two days later, time for Ko Pha Ngan and FULL MOON! After an extremly long and extremly painful bus+boat we finally arrived at our favourite beach Thong Nai Pan and checked in your "Luxury Bungalows" right on the beach. Seeing the inside of the bungalow there wasnt much luxury about them lol (: anyway, they were right on the beach and really close to all the bars so huge win anyways.
That night everyone turned in early cos we're babies. Second day was just a long day of playing Chinese poker, Yauna (local thai game) and Bluff poker. At night everyone except for me went to Haad Rin for the Full moon beach pre party... I was really sick with crazy stomach ache and all the good stuff that comes with that so I can't really tell you what the guys did that night but they told me it was pretty epic with lots of dancing and of course bumping in to swedish poker players which is more common to us than sunshine here! Just ask Jay, inflation of swe poker players in thai at the moment. Anyhoo, day after that we all had thai massages and stuff, lots of different poker games and swimming. All except for me were really hung over but i had had lots and lots of pills 2 days straight so i felt like a champion having beer with lunch (: After some people napping and some playing them internet pokers we headed off to the Full moon party, drinking lots of buckets and getting all the silly gear there is to buy...
We stayed on the beach and at a club called Cactus all night pretty much, I gave up the earliest at like 6 am with Shahin and Anton, meeting Johan by chance in the street with some girl. When we got back, we thought someone wouldv been back there but nooo, Soren stumbled in at like 8, Jay and Emil at like 9, at last but not least Niklas at 10. He had fallen asleep at some girls' place after making "love" (such a romantic).
Really hung over the next day we all just zombied around doing nothing, waiting for the next day when we'd be getting back... Omg, going back is even worse than going there and im not even gonna tell you about it since it makes me really upset and i like being happy... Just know its really !"#¤%&ing horrible.
AND NOW WERE BACK IN CHALONG, feels really good. we all love this place.
Ending this on a sad note, Jay is leaving us today... He's got to go back to England to do some investments or something. We are all gonna miss our English nerd... Not much is english about him too be honest, No beers in the afternoon and Strawberry daquiris and smirnoff ices when we go out... Anyways, He's our English soul mate, we all get along so good its really sad that he's leaving us. Living in England for a couple of months I never met a guy i could really relate to but with Jay hes just like us. Hes actually more swedish than english. Sorry, hes ours. He's a Swede now. He knows phrases such as how to say "I know a Boat", "Girl/Girls", "I don't understand", "Lets Go Britt-Marie" and "No". I mean, he could practically move to Sweden if he wanted to. He's fluent.
I just really hope we'll get to see him again soon, in Thailand, England or Sweden, don't matter.
Well, sun is shining, Niklas is in the pool and Iv got soar fingers now so im gonna sign off and go join him.
