Stato: THAILAND (TH)
Thailand
The flight from the SAS Cophenagen Boeing 767, landed in Bangkok early in the morning, before we landed I went and Michela on the flight deck where in addition to the tools of Cok pit we saw the clouds that we were wearing, and when the morning rises the sun, with those colors on the horizon, are the most beautiful.
After customs clearance, we go in the center city by train which is opposite to the (old).
Center leave from Central Station and walking with backpacks on their shoulders and a warm wet from Schiattare, we arrive at the hostel which is marked on our map.
Spend 2 days in the capital, do not sleep that night, despite fatigue and the time zone for unpacking the beastly traffic noise in the middle of the night.
Dall'inferno literally escaped to Bangkok, with the river chao praia dirty and polluted, even a channel was black as pitch by discharges that all the houses spill. with smells imaginable, I put this town in my black book with the Cairo and St. Paul.
That evening we take the sleeper train for an overnight trip to Chiang mai, on the train air conditioning manetta, humid 35 degrees outside in, Siberia.
The wagons of old but very efficient, we find that Japanese cars were, in any wagon, a watch, we do not understand why, then the request for explanations, we understand that, at night, there have been thefts.
Certe stazioncine to the north, are very nice, small and full of vegetation innonda the building, other than Bangkok, I just think it turned your stomach.
Upon arrival the next morning with a taxi, up to, very nice this time and on the outskirts of the city, therefore no traffic. We organize and rent a motorbike 110 cc 2 stroke, leaving his passport as security. Given the cost of rent acceptable, so we keep for a few days and we walk everywhere, close to a twenty kilometers to go see the orchid farm, where there are plantations of orchids, and also an exhibition of snakes and finally we also do a ride on elephants in the jungle.
We start in the car to Chiang Rai, the northern border with Burma, along the way, (here you drive on the left), we stop to eat in restaurants, rice or other things very good, but careful to spicy. Remember for a lifetime, the hot pasta, I was crying dall'infiammamento language, I immediately ordered a slice of watermelon frost to turn off.
We reach the border, across the river to go off there, (in Burma, there are riots) a five-star hotel on the coast north of the river is beautiful view of himself in this magical place, surrounded by vegetation.
From here tourists are aboard the reed rafts made of bamboo, with a Separè for the needs, which of course go into the river, hiking to some ora.Sarebbe it was good to us too, but then the car who was a take? Sleep a night, sprinkle antizanzare good, even the bed of the guest house is equipped with the network for the mosquitoes.
The day after we return to base, before returning the car but we'll see the great Buddha that you see on the ridge of the hill.
We decide to go back to bangkok by bus or train rather, to change, a journey that lasts less, but in hindsight I would have avoided. We have 8 hours of travel with a stop for the toilet, the driver has 70 years, and has never changed in office, in the evening when we were entering the traffic of the capital was destroyed, thus endangering her and the our lives, however, was a fool, you put it to surpass even though he could not. here applies the law of most bulk.
Unfortunately we have to sleep one more night in Bangkok because the bus that brings us to part phuket the next day, and for most of the evening, then stay inside all'ostello the third floor all day.
Viggo is the night, but that adventure, we travel all night, and try to sleep at least as bad if we were on board. The super glasses fogged, fortunately the air conditioning works, we come to the central bus station, on the island and here we WILLINHOLLY from a guy who leads us with a boat in a place with nice boongalow, where, however, remain only one night because too isolated. Then we move to patong beach in a guest house where we stay two nights and rent another car, which allows us to visit the whole island.
Beachside mezzoretta rent a jetski, and a little fun, we move to another night in the most north in a small national park on the edge of the airport, here there is a shower, you wash with a bowl of water and the dipper, walks on the beach a little elephant, which his master used to make a little money with the tourists, in addition massage, are offered on the beach for half an hour massage.
it is time to move again, and a 9 seater minibus from there we transfer to Krabi, where for the umpteenth time we rent the car and walk to the beaches, we also do an excursion on a small island with meals included for the beautiful beach, and the next day, a dive with the diving instructor Michela while waiting on the boat with the engine with a long propeller shaft.
Last transfer from Krabi, this time more quickly up to Hat Yai, where buy a plane ticket in a small restaurant in an Italy that in addition to feeding and to sell airline tickets, rent books.
Salute Thailand with its beautiful and its ugly, with the flight of Malaysian Airlines Boeing 737 to Penang in Malaysia
