Two months going through the southeastern Asia... 1st part: Thailand, Bangkok

Just started the month of December, perhaps frightened by the cold arrives, or just eager to start afresh for the umpteenth time, I decide to embark on a journey of about 2 months. Part in the company and the solo, the route that will lead me guide me in the beautiful Laos, Burma nell'incredibile, to rediscover the seaside and visit Thailand for the first time the north, passing through Malaysia, Singapore reach Bali, where I'm considering going to live for a period ... then rieccomi nell'ormai almost familiar and beloved South-East Asia ...

 

BANGKOK IS EVERYTIME BANGKOK...

... and so 'all over again from Bangkok. The usual Bangkok.
Hot, humid all'inverosimile, but always exciting with its mixed smells, lights and people ...
Bangkok is for riabituarci to Asia ... and my god how do I put a little. Here I like to see and be part of a long que seems not ever go ...
I have not much to see. Gia 'the Bangkok tourist I taste.
We came here to get the visa for Myanmar, for us to do 2 massage, drop the thousands of temptations for a shopping spree and having to escape from a horde of "lady boys" that we chase through the narrow streets of Patpong ...
Then come back to Bangkok in tramo end of my trip, and running on a tuk-tuk revive a view at the Grand Palace, the Wat Pho with its ever supefacente Buddha lying down, and then lose in the casino of Khao San Road and the countless markets, where everything is on sale, offering the city.

CHIANG MAI AND THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE

Return to Thailand from Laos by crossing the border between the towns of Huay xây and the area north of the two neighboring countries, which in part is known as the Golden Triangle.
Whether to leave Laos who come to Thailand for the bureaucratic procedures are rapid and humid ... because to cross the Mekong, which is a natural boundary between the two countries, we must prepare to dunk on a boat that serves as the local shuttling between the two sides ...
You wake up early and to relax other jun 5 hours of mini-van up to Chang Mai!
.. and here we are. Return to Thailand after the beautiful but harsh and Laos' feel like home. In the evening we eat all'europea (we all need a good steak ...) spent the equivalent of 3 nights at the hotel and go out until late in the usual outcry on the part of young Thai ...
Described by all as a surprise ... I admit her fascination with the temples and the small Bangkok air that you breathe, but perhaps the fatigue of these last days or not so that means that we do not "capture" as much as we expected ...

KRABI AND KHO PHI PHI

The "tour" of two months could not finish where you started: Thailand, an almost obligatory passage for those who travels in Southeast Asia, and how not to end this trip to relax the last step ?!?... week between Krabi in Ao-Nang specific and Koh Phi Phi.
Krabi and its coast are very beautiful and kind, with its high cliffs covered with vegetation, some scattered everywhere, from the beach to the sea itself, make it a destination where the pictures taken could be used as postcards. Ao-Nang in particular is almost exclusively populated by Scandinavian families and the road that runs alongside the beach is usually a continuous succession of shops ...
Koh Phi Phi is a paradise on earth. Have had the good fortune to see it before the tsunami can give me the idea of the devastating force of nature and the suffering of these people, now concentrated in the rocostruzione throughout the island. Prices have tripled in less than 3 years, but the wonder of this el'incanto make it absolutely unique.
