Last night in Ko Lanta

So I ran into Theodor, my Swedish acquaintance from Koh Phi Phi on the beach the other day. We decided to grab dinner and have a few drinks last night. I met up with him at one of the beach bars and while I was waiting for him to arrive, I was molested by a toddler! This cute little baby walked over to me (presumably the owner's son)...wearing only a T-shirt (babies around here, especially on the islands, tend not to wear diapers). He was saying something in baby Thai and I was a little worried he might pee on me, but then he just started grabbing my left breast! Repeatedly! I didn't even know what to do! I tried to gently remove his hand but he just kept grabbing me again. I looked around with pleading eyes for SOMEone to notice and get this demon child away from me, but all of the staff seemed preoccupied waiting on tables...I was like, 'where's your mommy?...go find your mommy!' realizing afterwards that surely this kid doesn't understand English...I turned my head to try to wave down one of the staff members and that's when he straight up bit me! Thank god for padded push up bras!!! I jumped out of my seat and just then of course, his father came running after him with an apologetic smile...I can totally understand why his mother weaned him!!

Anyway, aside from that whole incident, dinner was otherwise good and under $4 USD. Then we headed to "No Name Bar" for a drink where we met a group of people that invited us to join them. A few locals, including the bartender were sitting there as well as a guy from Spain, a guy from England and a girl who just completed her military service in Israel. At first it was just fun, we were having a good time, just talking and getting to know each other when Matt, the British guy, began insisting that we all try his Thai liquor concoction...it smelled horrific and I had no intentions of trying it. Nevertheless he kept filling up a shot glass and placing it in front of me...I just kept politely refusing and passing it off to the others. I started to raise my guard though b/c I noticed that he himself wasn't drinking very much but he seemed much too eager to share it with everyone else. And never in my life have I been asked so many times why I didn't want to take a shot?! "But why not? You're on holiday! Who cares if you have to get up early! You should have fun tonight!" and so it went on and on. I don't have to explain myself to you!! I swear I felt like I was in an after school special! We finished our beers and managed to get out of there...Theo went on to try to find the "Dark side of the moon" party and I headed back to my bungalow...it was already 1 am and I was exhausted...
