If you think there is something on you here, there probably is

A little story I forgot to mention in my last blog... When we were staying in our rusty little bungalow beachside on Ko Phi Phi, I had a frightening experience. If there is one true thing about Thailand it is that when you feel like there is something on you, an itch or hair, etc, in this place, there usually is! Getting dressed one morning I had that same feeling and thought it was just an itch or maybe a small bug, but when I looked down at my arm there sat a nice softball sized (legs incl) spider, no tarantula, that decided to crawl down from the ceiling and take a rest on my bicep. First I looked at it in awe, "is this really on me or am I still dreaming?" then I awoke from my stupor and fervently shook my arm until it fell to the plank floor. We unsuccessfully tried to kill it lest it come back to greet us that night. Aw Thailand, thanks for the memories!
