Womit haben wir das verdient????



Viele werden sich fragen, ob es in Thailand wirklich so geil ist, wie alle sagen. Aber die Wirklichkeit sieht alles andere als rosig aus. Abgesehen von dem schlechten Wetter am Ozean und dem staendig abregnenden Monsoon sind dort einige andere Dinge, die hier ziemlich anoeden.

Die Menschen sind einfach nur auf die Kohle aus und lassen einen nicht in Ruhe relaxen,

die Hygiene ist unter aller Sau,

die Transportmoeglichkeiten sind total eingeschraenkt und bescheiden,

das Essen schmeckt einfach scheusslich,

das Wasser ist eiskalt und es gibt keine Korallen und Fische,

die Bungalowanlagen bieten einfach schlechten Service.

Das alles entspricht der Wahrheit,

wenn heute nicht Gegenteiltag waere:-))



Leben kann so einfach sein. Ruppi:"Klausi, wir muessen gutes Karma haben"!!!

Und nun zu den Fakten:

From Bangkok we took the 18h train to Surathani into the south. After we noticed that our tiket was a rip off, we had to wait 2 hours for the bus to Dom Sak to take the boat to Ko Samui.



In Ko Samui we stayed in a place called Utopia. Our Bungalow was expensiv (10 Euro| night), but we had breakfast included and a 25m walk to the beach. We enjoyed a Thaimassage, chilled in the city and watched a Muay Thai Fight.

After spending 2 days on Ko Samui we headed to Ko Tao, a more relaxing Island good for snorkeling. The Phanun Bungalow offered us free snorkeling equipment and a nice diving spot. After fixing Nadines diving goggles, so that she could see something under water, we spent a half day snorkeling.
We found new friends at the bungalow, Ulrike+Peter+Bruno+Natalie and spend the whole evening eating and drinking togehter.Before we went to bed we listened to the Orchester of animals, which were making music the whole night.



After booking the tour to Khao Sok NAtionalpark our bungalow owner took us to the peer. We were on the boat and bus for 10h until we reached Khao Sok. There we stayed in a Treebungalow (Jungle Huts) and booked a Jungle Tour for the next day.
After taking the boat for one hour over the lake, we reached or walking track. We walked 4h through little creeks into the deep raainforest. At the returning point we entered a cave.

In the evening we went back the same way but had to sit on the back of a pickup, which was good because we saw fireflies and lots of lightnings in the beautiful Thai-Mountains.

Today we have been on an elephant tour through the Jungle. The first half of the trip was hotter than hell and after reaching a cascade, we could get water-conditioning. But this shouldn't be enough...after we continued the tour the monsoon started and we both were wet after 30 seconds.



After that our bungalow boss took us to some small cascades and a buddhist temple.

Tommorow we'll leave to the Andaman Sea to invade Ko Phiphi or Ko Lanta...we don't know yet, like everything on this Thailand trip so far!
