From Thailand to Bali

So I flew to Bali via Malaysia. Unfortunately i had to shell out 5000 Bath (100 Euro) for a plane from Kho Samui in order to make my flight from Kuala Lumpur - and all because i was woken up 30 minutes too late and missed the ferry+bus i had already paid for. You bargain all the time, look for the cheap rooms, save 100 Bath here and there, and suddenly bam: 5000 Bath (Bangkok Airlines owns Kho Samui - Their slogan is "The Boutique Airline" - Maybe someone should tell them that "boutique" as an adjective only means "horribly expensive for no reason")..
Well, I guess stuff like this just happens every now and then, and the flight sure was more comfortable than a bus. And i found this amazing shop in Kho Samui that builds movie characters (Alien, Predator, various Starwars characters, Terminator) from scrap metal. A 2 meter Alien is yours for only 50.000 Bath - including free shipping, which is certainly a bonus, since nobody wants to check in 50 tons at the airport. I ended up buying a small Alien to hang on the wall (900 Bath), which I've been carrying around in my backpack since, hoping it doesn't break until i send it home..

Hans-Rüedi Giger would just love this - or maybe not, since I'm pretty sure he doesn't get royalties from this! ;-)
