Ode to Friends (Koh Lanta, Thailand)
There once was a group of seven friends
Who traveled far and wide
To find themselves together again
In Thailand, side-by-side
After twenty-four hours in Bangkok
Thailand's capitol city
It was on to Koh Lanta
An island oasis in the Andaman Sea
But first, our stomaches called
For a dim sum breakfast surprise
So a quick stop over in Trang
Filled our bellies and left tears of happiness in Jimmy's eyes
Now, on to paradise
To blue water, white sand and sun
An MTV-Cribs worthy villa
And four days of "complimentary" fun
Spring rolls and sea kayaking
Snorkeling, scuba and island tours
Paper lanterns, fire shows and fireworks
And Happy Joints (a restaurant, of course)
We explored caves on Talabeng
Swam in beautiful Pi Lay Bay
Visited "The Beach" at Ko Pi Pi
And pissed a few jellyfish off along the way
At home, everything we wanted
Was just down Klong Nin beach
And, if not, Rick's personal concierge
Could always be easily reached
We hatched a plan to retire to the island
When we had some available cash
And open a sea-side restaurant
Called Gang Bangers and Mash
On our last night in paradise
We had a family dinner at home
And thought about how lucky we are
To call each other our own
To our amazing friends who traveled so far
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts
For making this week of our trip
One of the most special parts
