Thailand - Koh Phan Ngan - Phuket - Bangkok








Roger, our friend from Barcelona has joined us! The three of us took the train to the south of Thailand. It was an old train but it was funny!
I was really disapointed...because always when you buy the tickets, they show you a great picture and then...surprise! Well, in the end it was another adventure and another story to tell!
We reached Kho Phan Ngan, an island on the East coast. It's a nice place to make snorkeling but the water was wild. So, imagine....Roger and I (Nicolas) got some small injuries because of the corals ...
And I need to tell you guys, that one night, Roger and Nic, decided to do a Pirata walk to the other beach, of course there was no road or flash light. They went to a bar, left the shoes at the door (as we do in most of the places) and when they left.....where were the shoes???? Some one stole them.....imagine, they came back without shoes, all the way back, singing songs so the animals wouldn't come near and when I opened the door of our room, both of them were saying that their feet were hurting ;-)

After we went to the south-west in Phuket. Close from there, we visited the James Bond island. That's why we toke a picture with a gun in our hand :)
You can also see Tina and Roger standing on the walls of a special room. Do you recognize the place?
It's the hostel where they made the movie THE BEACH with Leonardo Di Caprio. They have in the hand the map of the secret beach...

On the last pictures, you can see other aspects of our stay in Bangkok: The massage diploma of Tina, a smart shopping center and the new suit of Nicolas. (it's very cheap to make a suit on measure in Bangkok)

Hi everybody!

It was a great experience to take part of their world adventure and to share part of my holidays with them. Now I’m sure that this was and excellent idea. We enjoyed and suffered together and we were a team, really a pirate team.
For me an adventure, for them a part of an adventure; but these days we’ll always remember in our minds with independence where we are in the future. They are friends, really friends for live!

Thailand is a wonderful tropical country with a lot of contrasts. On one hand, you can see a capital with pollution, traffic, dirty rivers and canals, very poor people melted with tourists around its dirty streets. And on the other hand, you can go to some island and find the most incredible sceneries with beaches of transparent water and incredible fishes of the colour that you prefer.

To their families, don’t care about them. They are still alive! Tina is drinking “shakes” (cocktail of fruits and ice) and coconuts every moment. And Nic is trying to eat and be adapted to the local food (really spicy!)… he needs more practise to avoid stomach-aches. However, they are very happy together and have all the situation under control. They have to deal everyday with the Asian people and that’s not an easy task, but, as I could see, they do it very well; they are more dangerous than the locals…

Well, Tina & Nic I hope to see you soon in BCN, your city! :)

Regards,

Roger
