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.

They Told Him There Were Birds Everywhere

There are a lot of birds in Thailand. It is beautiful — yet Charls seeks a land where there are no birds. A land he cannot understand. He is told to seek at birth a land with no birds. Now, the birds are singing at seven in the evening. He wants to understand what they are saying. It is a story written in preparation for a time when all will listen and hear.
The birds — they sing of a road that leads somewhere. They are not baptized, but they have faith and follow their magnetic compasses. The birds listen. Their fate, they know at birth. There DNA has heard.
People told him … but there are birds everywhere. Where is this place with no birds?
A guy he met when he was a kid told him the ocean was the best place to live. This guy ate a lot of nuts and fruit and said he really lived. Golem went there. He told Golem he would be a singer one day. Golem sang in words, he thought he could sing. He wanted to sing like the birds — fly free like them — visit foreign lands. He did visit foreign lands. He wanted to know what he would see if he could fly and he wanted to know where the birds went. What did a bunch of birds finally see when they got to their destination? Where do birds go to die and why do they never fall from the sky?

***

Dead birds are falling from the sky in Australia for the second time in seven months, raising fears of a possible public health threat. Golem stopped and stared at the article in the paper. Dead birds, dead birds … don’t fall from the sky. He looked at the net:
Thousands of Birds fall from the sky dead ... on two continents, Chemtrails are now worldwide and they are not innocent … Golem knew that the magnetic field of earth had been diminishing over the last century. Golem had a vision of birds flying endlessly around the earth unable to find what they were looking for.


But the language of the birds was different from those of the human race. It took some time to learn. They toll for all, but not all listen.
The sound of music, it was near, if only people came together.
Golem maybe wanted to be a pirate. He liked it when the women were raped on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.

“Jack, ‘he liked it when the women were raped’, surely controversial. How will I win the election?”
“Don’t let the news media destroy your ability to see the metaphorical Golem. When metaphor is dead the human spirit dies with it.”
