Thailand day 15: Golden Triangle

Not really successful day today… In the morning I got very bad news. Even if Myanmar visum is valid for land border crossing, I cannot go inlad, because the route goes through military or war teritory and foreignes cannot go there. This means I have to fly, so it did not make much sense to…

Thailand day 14: Chiang Rai

After yesterday’s experience I took  raincoat and a sweatshirt with me. Of course the only thing I needed today was sunscreen, which I left in the hostel. First I visited Wat Rong Suea Ten = Blue Temple. Except the beuty of the temple I could also admire creation of new statues and how many monks are going…

Thailand day 13: Chiang Rai

So I have bike with flowers, where is the problem? It is slower than the bike i had in Koh Phangan island and it is too small that I cannot fit on it and need to sit on rear seat. On the other side routes are here much better, spped around 90 kph is not…

Thailand day 12: moving to the north

Alarm at 5am, quickly dress up, backpack on, check if I did not forget anything and 5:15 ready to go. Even if in open beach the day was waking up, in the forrest there was still complete darkness. 10 minutes walk through the the forrest was without any incident and I managed to pass the…

Thailand day 11: Railay bay climbing

Some more climbing… In Railay bay and Tonsai bay there are really a lot of climbing routes. There is amazing tropical forest and beach view from most of them. To simplify it – one day of climbing here cannot be enought. Not even if to climb one more day means to walk twice at night…

Thailand day 10: Railay Bay

Today it was about rock climbing in one of the most beautiful places suitable for climbing. Immediately after arriving I was surprised by the prices for renting climbing gear. 2000 THB (53 eur) for equipment for 2 people per day seems to be way too much, considering you can buy completely new things for 2…

Thailand day 7: island Koh Phangan

In the mornign I rented a scooter for 200 THB in order to see as many thing as possible in one day. Immediately after that another tropical rain started – why did not I stay in the hostel resting around swimming pool? Fortunately it stopped raining as quickly as it started before. My first stop…

Thailand day 6: Koh Phangan

In the morning I was moving to neighbor island Koh Phangan (2 hours ferry, 300 THB), which is the biggest from 3 islands around (Koh Tao, Koh Phangan a Koh Samui) and where I would like to spend another 2 nights. Just before departure we were surprised by landing military helicopter – seems soldiers need…

Thailand day 5: Koh Tao

It was another amazing day today, I have not ever had better snorkeling. I am really happy I joined Alex, Max and Stephen, with antibiotics I would usually spend my day in hotel room or in a shadow on nearest beach, but because because they bought snorkeling trip around the island, I simply could not…

Thailand day 4: island Koh Tao

Here it is, what I did not want to happen the most, has actually happened. Now missing only to loose passport, credit card or phone… On the other side I am happy it has happened here, where the doctors speak English and they have good quality. I do not want to imagine what could have…
