Many bad things to happen in the trip!? I hope you are okay, I don't want you to be hurt or anything ye? If anything happened please tell me, I am here for your support and motivation, as for the local people, I am sure they are, my friend told me there's a lot of bad people, but the good people are more, from what I've heard. You really wish I was there? I wish I could be, then we'd both have a fun vacation, I can assure you I'd try to cheer you up if I was there :).
Now, I'm okay. I really wish you were here. I know you like a beach and Phi Phi Island has a beautiful beach. it is one of the best places to visit in Thailand. but I am not sure, it also has a good coffee. then do you know? what province that your friend lives in Thailand?
