Disgusting Henry

Right fish, alot to get thru so i’m gonna try to get thru it in ultra quick time First up the Loi Krathong Festival which is basically some massively celebrated fessie where the Thai’s let off these lanterns into the sky and pray to their Gods and Budda’s etc. They also light these small rafts made of banana leaves and flowers. The best thing about the festival was a stall where you get the chance to lob a bunch balls at a small target so some poor Thai girl would get dropped into a big bucket of slime! lolz.

The festival takes place on the full moon of the 12th Thai month each year. We went to see the festival at a big lake in Nai Harn and myself Cos and new addition to the house for 3 wks Henry had a good laugh. The place had a nice vibe and a really good feel factor about it. Here’s a few more photos and a short vid of me and Cos sharing a special moment together….

It might have been the following day or the day after Loi Krathong i’ve lost track but three of us went for a mince at a smaller beach in Nai Harn. Me and Henfish decided to hire some snorkeling gear and fins. I been lucky enough to snorkel at some amazing places like the Red Sea in Egypt and the Great Barrier Reef in Oz which was immense so i wasn’t expecting too much tbh. However, i was pleasantly surprised and me and Hen saw some cool marine life. Here’s a couple of pics of some of the fishays we saw out there that afternoon, (google images ftw). The big blue Starfish were my fave, pretty cool!

On one of Henry’s nights here the two of us both got a weee bit tipsay first at Chris’s Bar down the road and then at a nightclub called Laguna. When i say tipsay, i mean i was very happily drunkadee drunk drunk and Henry was all over the shop, completely outta control! Now my fans are not gonna like this bit but i’ve been given strict instructions by the Hen fish not to blog about this particular evening. All i will say is that is was a comedy night and that it [ ] didn’t involve any ladayboys.

Yesterday i briefly took Henfish for a wander round Chalong Temple. Its a pretty cool place and its something which i thought was worth exploring. When entering these temples you are supposed to take your footwear off before stepping inside. Upon entering the first temple i noticed some rather horrid looking big brown smudge on Henry’s right sock. What could that be i thought? I quickly forgot about the grotesque looking mark and just went about my business snapping away at the varies statues of monks and stuff in the temple. After leaving i slipped my flip flops back on and suddenly heard a shriek of horror from Henfish. The Welsh idiot then showed me what appeared to be a dead frog mangled up in his shoe! Ewwwwwww, that is sick mate. The fish had basically been wandering about with a dead frog in his shoe and the brown stains on his sock were the poor froggies guts! Henry must have put his foot in his shoe whilst Mr froggy was having a big of shut eye or something and crushed it to death. God knows how long that had been there? The other sick thing is that Henfish wears these really tight brand of trainers which are apparently a size too small! WTF, how did you not feel it mate? You are DISGUSTING!

What else to report? Errrrm, had a decent afternoon with disgusting Henry at Nai Harn beach yesterday, the waves were pretty big and powerful. We also briefly checked out a place called Cape Promthep. Oh yeh, i’ve got a bike as well now. It’s basically brand new and only 20 quid a week. Hopefully i don’t GG myself or the bike.

Obv all quiet on the poker front atm. Bit worrying tbh because i don’t know when i’m gonna have the opportunity to grind for even a solid 2-3 nights. I haven’t played one fooking hand in Nov! The thai time difference is such a massive ball ache for me out here. Obv I find it hard to grind in the UK but the first tourn of any significant importance to me out here is a 30r with has about 100 runners which starts at 10pm and even then then main tourns i usually grind don’t get going until 1am. Atm i think i have a one week gap between Henry leaving Thai and me and Cos having to leave the country to renew our visa’s. I might just try and sleep allll day and play allll night and try and book some wins during that wk. Its not ideal and it won’t be nice but i need to play! Me and Costa are hopefully gonna go on a 2wk ish trip for the visa run including Bali, Indonesia, Singapore and Kulua Lumpur and Pinang in Malaysia. That’s the plan atm anyways. After we get back my mate Ross will be here. He’s starting a year long round the world trip and he’s a non poker player so i will have to be entertaining him, it will be good thou. So it doesn’t look like i’ll be smashing the pocket five ranking anytime soon. I’m basically looking at doing a ton of grinding in Jan now, fook knows? Right, that’s all for now fish, laters!!

Oh, i almost forgot here’s a link to disgusting Henry’s blog. The Welsh fish has done a pretty good job of updating it since here’s been out here, check it… http://henrygriffiths.wordpress.com/

Its been good to have Henry here staying for a few weeks tbh. He’s a good lad and having a new face about the place has injected some more life into the house. He’s up for exploring the island and doing different stuff and hopefully he’s had a good time so far. Nice one fish!
