What made you come To Phuket? What really made you come here for the first time...and what made you stay?

I came for the adventure and got the clap.

Thought that was awesome and stayed for more clap.

Knocked up some local kratium farm girls and now I have some kratium farm brats that are awesome.

I'm happy.

The beaches, the weather, and the cheaper cost of everyday living.

My first trip to Asia was to Phuket. Worked as an DM on Similan liveaboard. What an life.. but no money.
