Thailand

After Cambodia, I went to Thailand, on the Koh Chang Island, to meet some friends from Switzerland. In detail, Eric and girlfriend, as well as Fabien, came directy from Switzerland, whereas Philippe is working (for one year) in the five star hotel we stayed.



I am maybe the only backpacker of the world who spent a week in a five star hotel...ok we got some interesting discount, as Philippe is working there and is the "number two" of the management.


It was a bit "holidays in my holidays", as the daily programm consisted mainly of sleeping, swimming, having some beers and playing Jass during Happy hour between 5 and 6 o'clock, then dinner somewhere on the Island and the partying during the night. I must admit it was also very pleasant to stay and party with true friends, instead of somehow "forced" friends met in the backpacker's hotel, even if some of them were also very nice...I hope you got my point !


The only particular activity for me was my first time of diving. It is very nice to feel like a fish, and even if we did not dive too deep, we could catch some interesting "seesightseeing"


After 5 days I left my friends and went to Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand. Some very nice buddhist temples to be seen during the day, other kind of temples to be seen during the night, the latter ones are certainly attracting more tourists than the first ones...I think you got that point too !





Et maintenant je suis a Bali, en Indonesie, apres avoir passe 3 jours (et surtout 3 nuits) a Jakarta, la capitale.

Ciao backpacker de luxe! Sympa le petit mot en faveur des "real friends"... On s'est bien marré pendant cette semaine à Koh Chang et à Bangkok. Bonne route, take care et... à la revoyure. Eric
