Koh Phangan

Today its raining and the temperature is quite comfortable, not to hot. Went to Koh Phangan from Koh Tao about a week ago. Staying in a bungalow by the beach with some nice norwegian people as my closest neighbours. Here it feels like every day is too short, I get up, eat breakfast, lie in my hammock, maybe I'll go for a ride on my bike, eat dinner, read my book, and suddenly its time to go to bed. One day I went to this safari-thingy and played with monkeys, elephants, horses, buffalos and snakes. Fun stuff. Went on a day trip to Malaysia, shortest visit I ever had to another country, but I got a new visa and that was the point.

Yesterday was the 17th of May, Norway's National Day. We drew flags and put them on our motorbikes, sang the national anthem a few times (at least we tried) and in the evening the owner of the resort invited us to dinner. It was a barbeque with crabs, prawns, squid, barracuda, noodles, chicken..++ So delicious! For dessert we went to 7eleven and bought cake and ice cream. All in all it was a perfect celebration of May 17th. :)

My plans for now is to stay here until Friday (the Half Moon Party is on Thursday:P) and then go to Krabi and Koh Phi Phi before I'm heading back home to Norway. :)

Koh Tao

Koh Tao is probably as close to paradise as you get. Went out diving yesterday for the first time since I got my certificate two years ago. It was amazing! I think we saw more than 20 different kinds of fish, and the diving itself was so much easier than I remembered. Maybe because its not a cold and dark Norwegian winter. :P Hopefully tomorrow I will go to a place were a big turtle lives. I really, really wanna see a turtle. I only have a visa for 8 more days, I don't know what to do.. the only thing I do know is that I just want to stay here, for a looong time. :)

Bangkok

Bangkok, nice weather, 5-star hotel, happy birthday to me. :)

back in Thailand

Back in Thailand, and it feels so weird. Everything is so fancy and expensive here. I was supposed to go to Bangkok and then down south, but I went by impulse on a bus to Koh Chang instead. Now I have a bungalow on a beach, good food, peace and quiet, but I can't help it, I feel restless..
