2 weeks and we are here in Thailand.
These 2 weeks were full and joy and some very unexpected events.
Bangkok was pretty cool and bear in mind that I kinda hate big cities. A lot of interesting smells, exotic food and my favourite transport in the world- tuc tucs! What a great feeling when driver don't really care about traffic, he just makes his own way everywhere and you get your hair flying in the wind form pretty speedy tuc tuc. We also went to some fancy place, called Sky Bar. A bar on top of the skyscraper, full of rich western people, expensive beer but a view to see all Bangkok from the top of the world, haha!
Next destination was Kao Yai National Park. After a bit of trekking in the jungle, seeing some gibbons and macaques we realized that guided tour is not really for us. I guess we saw more wildlife ourselves then ''trekking'' in the jungle with some guide. Though nature and waterfalls were stunning!
Lopburi town was next and there we saw a real Thai mentality, those smiles and generosity that we were missing so much everywhere we went! This town is inhabited not only by people but monkeys as well. They walk everywhere, like real citizens of the town. It's pretty cool. Something like Gibraltar hill but imagine all town full of these crazy creatures.
And then it was Ko Chang Noi. The small Ko Chang that not many tourists go, I guess we kind of found a lost paradise, still not really discovered by tourists. Empty beaches, no concrete buildings, chilled people, no electric and green green untouched jungles. However, we had to leave it pretty quickly because Dom got a dengue fever, which you can get it from mosquito!
And here our week of pain began. One local clinic and after fancy Bangkok Hospital in Phuket. Our holidays were transferred in the hospital. No complains, insurance paid for everything and we lived like kings, but who want to suffer and stay in pain while on your holidays in some exotic country.
My conclusion is the same, mosquitos are bastards and they all are useless insects.
We are finally leaving today and continuing our hopefully adventurous but healthy holiday path!
Take care you all,
Ligita
