Life and Travels, Travelling and Life

Here is part two of todays blog..

I went to Phuket to shoot on Tuesday and Wednesday! I left at 840am on Tuesday, arrived at 10am. I was picked up to the airport and we went to eat lunch, it was about 1230 by the time they picked me up and we got somewhere close to the shooting site to eat. After eating we went to the shooting site and I got my hair and makeup done, we then waited for Justin to finish shooting his part (which was in a different location). Once he got there we started to shoot, which was about 430 or 5 and we finished at about 7 because the last shot had to be at sunset, and there is only a 5-10 minute span where the sun is setting! The last shot was me and Justin driving off on the motorbike in the sunset. They shut down the road and everything! People lined the roads to see what was going on and they were shouting things and taking pictures. The director then told me that they thought I was some thai celebrity, and thats why they were yelling things at me and taking photos! It was kind of cool pretending to be this thai famous person for a little bit! After we wrapped for the day, we went to the hotel and ate, then went to bed. I had to be up at 345am the next morning!! Makeup was done at 4 and then we left the hotel around 530 to go to the next location. We arrived at Chalong Pier, where we ate breakfast...which to thai people is regular food, and that days was rice with chicken wings... I refrained from this breakfast and just had coffee and a sandwich instead.. We then all got on a boat to go to where we were shooting. There was a cargo ship type boat out in the water near a different beach where all the camera equipment and camera crew were set up. We climbed onto it and got ready to shoot. I was taught how to steer the speed boat, I didn't have to shift up or down to make it go faster or slower, the professional did that. All I had to do was steer, which is really easy! We shot until about 2 in the afternoon then packed up and headed back to Chalong pier. We ate lunch and then hung out for a bit (our flight didn't leave until 930pm). Most of the crew had to drive back in the vans they had brought, but me, the lady that did the casting, the stylist and then the director and clients were flying back. The stylist, lady who did the casting and myself went and got massages after we ate! After that we caught a taxi to the airport, ate dinner and flew back to Bangkok! The beach we shot at the second day was so nice, the water was so blue! It was extremely hot though, so my black pants and top didn't fair so nicely... I could basically feel the onset of heat stroke as the minutes passed in the day.. but I still enjoyed my time!
