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.

Just Like Enron

Window and Associates now controls a huge security software market and an equally huge corporation. That there are not any associates left does not bother Golem. He now associates exclusively with girls mostly in their thirties on the sofas in his executive offices. He has one executive office on each floor of the fifty floor complex of Tower One. Tower One is now exclusively used for executive functions, and since he is the only executive, the offices are deserted.
Tower Two has taken over the function and everyday business of Window. Tower Two dwarfs Tower One and now the first tower is simply what Golem refers to as his command center. Only he has his retina scanned into the locking mechanism of Tower One. It is here on the four floors called B1, B2, B3, and B4 that Golem devotes time underground to research on cloning and cryogenics. These are his pet projects, have been from day one.
He has girls on each of the sofas. He assigns them to a floor. His favorite is Katrina on floor thirteen. He thought of the young amongst them as his flower children. He was taking care of them. When she cried it was as if a poorly maintained dam had broken somewhere. As if she had no plans for the future.
He has several corporate jets affixed with lots of sofas. He can’t say what it is about sofas he likes. He might have known before the accident. He has a huge house with an Olympic-sized swimming pool, and a Jacuzzi the size of a residential swimming pool.
He has three wives and three children and a partner. One wife thinks he works in intelligence; one thinks he is a professor. One thinks he is a computer analyst. The partner doesn’t care. She’s in it for the endorphins, plus some cash. Sometimes one wife drops him off at the airport and another picks him up and brings him home. One thinks he is off on an international spying adventure and the other thinks he is returning from a computer seminar.
Golem has a group of top executives on the lower-rung that is currently embezzling funds while he plays on his sofas. They are using two of his jets to party on world tours, and are bent on partying until there are no funds left to party with. They are members of a group of ex-yuppies that had been responsible for the elimination of ketchup packets from fast food chain restaurant food orders in the seventies. Now, if you want ketchup you ask for it. It saves corporations millions of dollars, but half of those dollars ended up in these yuppies’ pockets.
