Dear all, this is the latest update from me in Thailand. I am now in the island of Koh Phangan appoximately 50km from the coast of SuratThani. When I arrived the on the island I went on a party with a Mexican guy I met and am currently sharing a room with. I drank too much at the party and lost my bag which contains my camera, wallet, handphone and passport. It was not stolen or snatched by me. I just simply left it on the table and left the party without the bag. When I woke up the next day, I went straight back to the place and it was too late. Immediately I cancelled all my cards and went straight to the police station and guess what? I found my bag along with my passport and wallet (with all my ATM and credit cards). All the cash I have inside the bag together with my camera and handphone were gone. All in all I think I lost around RM4000.
I am currently still in Koh Phangan and will be leaving the island tomorrow. I still have some cash with me and a credit card that still works. So don't worry about me. I will be however getting my replacement cards when I reach Bangkok in a few days time. In the meantime if you wish to contact me, I will still be reachable through email.
I am fine now and I vowed never to get drunk ever again for the rest of my trip. I will continue with my journey once I get back on track and will keep updating about my adventure.

Lit - most would have turn around and gave up but you continued. Very very commendable. Glad to know that they at least have the decency to not take your passport.
The important thing to us all is that you are safe.
Don't beat yourself up too much over it - it could've happened to anyone.
After all you didn't let it affect your plans - I think that is the big picture here.
If you need financial support, just ask. I lend at 29.99% APR compounded monthly. You can use your parents as collateral !
Take care of yourself

haha. thanks guys and gal for the support. and sern kor.. thanks hor... the thought of knowing i will get a loan with such high interest from my richest cousin is indded very encouraging....
and weesheng.. i wasn't as drunk as SKL last time.. at least i didn't puke at all... i think i will not get another camera cos i will be seriously over budget after tht.
Jie jie is meeting up with me in Bangkok this month. So i am hoping she can get a camera for me from my dad.
i am now in koh tao doing my advanced open water course... it's a superb and cheap place to do diving courses here and I simply can't miss this opportunity. By the rate I am going now I guess I will really have to be home (as wht my mum hoped) soon.
I was extremely down for the past few days and was seriously thinking of giving out. But I tot to myself.. i quit my job for this so I am going to stick with it no matter wht...
okok i need to go liao.. chat later
i think some one threw a pill in yr drink. reject any food/drink specially prepared for u n prepared behind u.
u still got yr kidneys ? did u read abt an ausie woke up in a bathtab n lost a kidney!? u could lost yr virgin too!
do take extreme care.

Tan Family, u're so careless la...wen i told our frens tat u get drunk n lost ur cash and camera, they all so worry bout u... pls take care of urself la...
don't forget that we're going to meet u soon in vietnam, ok... we wan to see u in person (good condition)..
it's very hard for me to apply leave, to save $$, to make up my mind to travel, to really seriously take action to buy ticket...not simply say (like resignation)...so i really put my heart for the trip and hope to have fun time with u guys loh...
so pls take care n keep in touch la...
Fram Tan Family
hi uncle, thanks for your advise. don't worry i still have both my kidneys intact.
I was only drunk and I went back to my room myself to sleep after that. I will rule out the possibility of being drugged cause I really drank quite a lot that night.
anyways i will take good care of myself. thanks for your concern
This should be inticipated when u want to go backpack lo. No comment on this incident but pls becareful lo.
U must thank the thief not taking ur pasport and credit card.
Well, that's why I told you, you have to be extra careful especially you're going alone anywhere. it was a pity that you lost ur D40. That is really a waste, friend. Anyway, I'm intending to sell my D60 very soon for a D300. maybe you want to get it from me. Haha...
haha. i think whenever i tok to u abt these stuff. smt bad will happen to me one ler.. remember how i teased u when u left ur wallet in mcdonalds.. then it happened to me in krabi.. hahah i think i am jinxed..
anyway i am thinking of upgrading to a better one also so D60 is not my cup of tea now.. even though i am not as rich as u, i will save up to buy a good one now...
u can convince timmy to buy from u though. he sent me a message on facebook to ask me abt SLR and i told him abt ur intention. hurry up before he go buy one himself..
