Former Thai jungle guide, current Rhode Islander and author of the blog Taste the Tuna Fish Ice Cream! has brought his epic adventure to close.

“What with Jim here and all, the Jungle Adventure Tour Company really didn’t need me anymore. I started thinking maybe it was time to move on. As impossible as it seemed, I had grown tired of the jungle. It wasn’t much of an adventure anymore. I jumped off enough waterfalls, hiked enough trails, and been charged by enough elephants. It had become a job. We’d drive past the bush, we’d hear the crunching and stop, elephants would come out, we’d watch them, always stay too long, the elephants would get sick of us, they’d chase us off, then we’d go look for more animals. Anything after a while can become drudgery.”

Not to worry though, Phil promises more non-jungle themed adventure stories in the future.
