It was amazing coming to Thailand after Jakarta. The food did absolutely live up to our high expectations. Green curries, red curries, spring rolls, Pad Thai … need I say more? We stayed very close to Kata beach. The beach itself is absolutely stunning. The sand is clean and white, and the water is lush. The only slightly annoying thing was that there were too many Scandinavians there. There were so many bars called “Viking”. I am sorry to say that a lot of my fellow scandies who come here are probably sex tourists. I really do hate seeing all those poor girls in the bar working long hours, trying to pretend that they find those men attractive.
The weather was not really good while we were there. It rained almost every day, which is unusual as it is supposed to be high season at the moment. We did spend two great afternoons reading on the beach though.
Today we arrived on Phi Phi. What a great island! It is much more relaxed than Phuket, and there are no (obvious) sex tourists here. The food seems a lot cheaper too!
Now we just need to get out there, book our diving dates, eat some freshly cooked Thai food and swallow it down with a Chang. Oh my, is it fall did you say? We haven’t noticed …
