Koh Samui is a bit different from what I expected. I expected a less caotic world than the one in the continental Thailand, however I was wrong. Its the same. The cities or villages are just the same. the difference is the scenery. Unlike the euroipean style islands Koh Samui does not have roads along the coast from wich you can see the sea. You can almost never see the sea, and to do so must get into dirt roads and most often into resorts or hotels. But... it is still very good. Once I arrived I asked a taxi driver to tajke me to a resort Maja where maja yhad stayed and said was good. No one new where it was until finally one guy new and took me. first I was scared becaused it ... read more

As I already mentioned, the minute I left Anne and Eelke at Chiang Mai I met a portuguese couple, Andre and Catarina. I have been hanging out with these guys for the last few days. They have been great company as its always good to have someone to talk to at dinner and stuff. (Obrigado pela companhia Andre e Catarina!)

Finally in Bangkok. I only arrived yesterday, however it seems as if i've been here for a week already. This city is absolutelly crazy. The trip: The trip was great and not even close to what I was expecting. Turns out that Jet Airways is actually a great company to fly on. Great seats whith more room than I ever seen, great entertainment and super great flight attendants as well.

It was rainning but the temperature as fine and I walked about fo while seeking a guestroom to stay at. I was looking for a cheap place but I also ... read more
