19 Last of the Rhodesians: Chronicles of an African anarchist – The Gokwe Kid – Searching for Rhodesia 19

 

Journal 19.02.2026.

Present location - Blue Beach Resort

Sam Roi Yot (Hua Hin), Thailand: Westen (Hua Hin, Cha Am, River Kwai), Thailand

 

This place makes your brain boil in your skull. Hence everyone wanders around in a permanent state similar to myself when well stoned on the shit I am getting for free from the owner of this pad I am staying at.

 

So, it is a struggle to recall what on earth has happened the last couple od days? Let me see. An amusing article in BBC or Sky News online about some pisspot coconut island that comes in handy as a stop over for aircraft loaded with bombs for bearded, stinking rag heads in and around Allah fan bases. NOT ABBA, they are from Sweden. Gollywog Island`s inhabitants were happily forced evicted in 1970 after, in 1966, official government papers labelled them as just a few Tarzans and Man Fridays. Er… 1966, tut-tut.

 

Of course, Donnie Darko needs the place and I am surprised he hasn’t sent his lads to kidnap Prime Minister Starmer and putting him in charge of Venezuela.

 

With luck we will see more fireworks in and around the Middle-East. I hope so! I lost a bit on silver shares. And, if the USA and Israel can get rid of those insane fucks in Iran, all the Egyptians I met up there at Camp Sawa would be delighted. (As I said – there is a lot more I need to tell about the Egypt/Israel trip.)

 

Back here in Prawn Land…

After my trip was cancelled to the Elephant Park because the driver, Tee, was very drunk, yesterday we (I took the German/French lonely old widow along), went off into raging rain storms as Tee managed to confuse my GPS by driving in circles for the best part of an hour.

 


As we left at 14.30, arriving an hour later, I immediately knew this was a very bad idea. Last time I saw this kind of chaotic mass rip off was in the Serengeti.






 


One elephant, (most probably nailed to a tree, but so far away you can’t tell,) One water buffalo, the first bit of walking steak that actually just might have a bit of fat on it, some monkeys (not in the park) a couple of Egrets and thousands of Eediots. (See pics and videos.) The bush is surprisingly very similar to parts I wandered through in Rhodesia times.

 


Nice scenery but… for me, the whole style of mini-economy of electrified subsistence existence operated by the laziest race since the Irish and English I once employed, and – people like my Ex come here again and again! I would rather have my toe nails extracted.





But the best bit of the trip – I have been through some of Africa’s well known and not so well-known National Parks and Game Reserves. Just briefly from the top of my head and at random – Serengeti, Amboseli, Tsavo, Ngorongoro, Virunga, Etosha, some shit hole in Botswana, Mana Pools, Hwange, Rhodes Inyanga, Kruger and maybe a dozen or so more big and small…But, as the video explains…
