The Link Above ... and then on to the Blog

This book is the cumulative knowledge gained through living in Thailand for eight years and traveling on a budget. It contains complete itinerary with logistics of a trip from Bangkok to the southernmost Thai island of Koh Lipe and then up along the Andaman coast and crossing over the Kra Isthmus and out onto the Gulf of Thailand. It contains notes on Chang and Samet and other islands. It is a kit in the sense that it tells you how to go about things, such as outfitting a hut with lights on the porch and how to avoid the rip-offs that can occur. Thousands of bits of pieces making up tips for travel in Thailand. While written by a budget traveler, it is also of value to the high-end traveler, who can use this kit to explore less commercial areas and as a guide to specific locations. It is not a mere listing of locations or a standard tourist guide that while good, often leaves tourists staring at a hundred places and not able to decide easily an accommodation or a restaurant. This is a ‘How to Guide,’ written by a guy who has stayed on islands many times, for up to eight weeks straight. He knows how to get what you want and how to take your trip to a higher level. Jack Wily, the author, is currently traveling in Thailand and will support you through email or guide services, if you desire, while you are here in Thailand. He might be convinced to give out his cell number. Jack is the author of a number of fiction books and stories. This particular book can be found on Amazon for 14.99 plus any related Amazon shipping charges. If you order directly from Jack, he will knock a dollar off the price and depending on location in America pick up the shipping charge or a percentage of it. The book will be shipped immediately on PayPal verification and probably it will arrive within 48 hours. Drop an email to Island of Sand Publications at islandofsand@yahoo.com if you would like a copy of the book, and after you have purchased the book, or if you have any questions. Your copy will be new and untouched by human hands ... except for the people packaging it that is. If you live outside the contiguous U.S. and wish a copy of the book, please email me for applicable shipping charges or order from Amazon. While I sit on the edge of the sea, I see a lot of hotel people walking by who are paying up to twenty times my cost per night, and while I, too, travel that way at times, I know and sometimes hear them say ... ‘We should try that sometime,’ and I wanted to tell them how and how trouble-free this kind of vacation can be, and that, along with my love of the sea, islands, and sky is what motivated me to write this book. Hope to see you out there ... and you know ... I just might.

This blog contains-buried on the Island of Sand in a treasure chest-five threads that can be separated out by clicking on the labels: Writing Craft, The Bazarre Tale of Golem L. Window-Island of Sand, The Non-Fiction Version of Island of Sand, Thailand Travel, and a writer's Journal. The chest itself is located not at the end of the rainbow but under its arc on Elephant Island. I buried it there. In front of the huts. The rest of the skeleton ha ha matey... I'll never tell. By the way, if you would like a paperback copy of my guide ... Thailand Travel Kit send me an email at islandofsand@yahoo.com and for those of you in the contiguous United States I will ship direct for about 13.99 (California, will inform if shipping cost exceeds limit for some states) Paypal available.

The Credit Card

Thailand Travel Kit: Huts, Trip Itineraries, and Tips for the Budget or Upscale Tourist by a Thailand Insider who has lived in Thailand for 8 years by Jack B. Wily ... see you in Thailand ...

A lot of folks have figured out the credit card. I learned about it about 12 years ago. I had a credit card in Japan and I came to Thailand with it. It had a limit of three thousand dollars- not a lot and it was handy- and i ran it up to the limit.

The main problem with a credit card is that after the limit is reached the card ceases to amuse. Now the card is a liability and each and every month money must be paid and nothing can be bought.

First time card users that I have met have always done this. It is very easy to spend money that you don't have. Anyway, in my case I got out of it. I didn't want out of it. I wanted to keep the card and the payment was fixed at a hundred dollars a month. The thing is the payment came from money left in a Japanese bank and the day came when i thought there was enough to pay for the month and i was about two dollars short because i neglected a transfer fee or something. Like I say the card was at its limit. The next month i paid the bill, but the bank couldn't make the automatic withdrawal for the missed payment and they had shut off my card. I called the bank and asked for an account to transfer the payment into. I was given an account number- i said, 'So, when will you turn the card back on?'. They said they wouldn't. I said if they didn't I wouldn't. Well, you know what i mean. They said they would take me to court. I said do it.   I double checked that they were sure they wouldn't turn the card on and that they understood that if they didn't turn the card on I wasn't about to transfer a hundred dollars a month for the next three years. They said they did. I said one word-SAYONARA.   I never did pay the money back and they never did come after me. They had it all on tape with their agreement- and since when is a card cancelled for one mistaken misspayment anyway?  Oh, well, have to go... sayonara.

Mae Nam Beach, Samui, Thailand

Thailand Travel Kit: Huts, Trip Itineraries, and Tips for the Budget or Upscale Tourist by a Thailand Insider who has lived in Thailand for 8 years by Jack B. Wily ... see you in Thailand ...

Mae Nam Beach is a quite peaceful beech away from the main tourist beach-Cheweng. Chaweng has the night life- this beach has few tourists at the moment and the few tourists can generally be found in longue chairs on the beach, or in the water. Cheweng on the other hand has lots of bar girls and the music scene, along with the main chains like Burger King and Starbuck and McDonald's. I don't need a lot of that stuff, but a big burger at the King would be good about now. All for now.

Taxis on Samui

Thailand Travel Kit: Huts, Trip Itineraries, and Tips for the Budget or Upscale Tourist by a Thailand Insider who has lived in Thailand for 8 years by Jack B. Wily ... see you in Thailand ...

Online Sheet Music

Taxis on Samui-the only island with taxis in thailand that i know of-are extremely expensive. They charge more for a short trip than a metered taxi charges to go from bangkok to way far away. hey, they are trying to make good money and who can blame them for that-well, i can, cuz they sort of mess up tourism in thailand. some of the tourists might not notice, but i think most do. they are not happy and especially when they find out a songtao costs 50 baht after they paid 400. or 800.

Little Pim

It's four a.m. , i am listening to the sound of waves and there is a cool breeze on the beach. There have been some flies around, annoying me. I read on the net that flies hate basil. There is a lot of basil in Thailand and today I am going to get some and put it around the balcony. The flies are a seasonal thing in Thailand.
