Resealbum: THAILAND
Back again!
This time we stayed for 3 weeks and the time was runing away so some more weeks had been good!
First 2 days in Bangkok, shopping at MBK & Chatuchak Market (weekend market), Siam Ocean World, a trip whit the riverboat to the tempel, palace and some other places.
The SkyTrain was a perfect way to get around!
Down in BangKwaiVillage, a little village between HuaHin & Cha-Am, we lived at the Condo as we allways do, 1650 SKR for 2 person and 17 nights, thats no money to talk about, and you have eerything you need if you want to do some cooking, but that we never did, toilet, shower, TV, internet.
We rent motorbikes for the hole time and the same whit that, 30 SKR a day.
Thanks to the bikes we went out for a lot of trips that we haven´t don otherwise!
Visit our friends from sweden that have built a house up on the mountains of HuaHin, went to our other friends sportclub, went out on the country & drives around on smal streets in smal villages!
Daytrips to River Kwai, Floating Market & the Tigertempel in Kanchanaburi, another daytrip to BangSaphanNoi & the Island KhoTalu for some snorkling and sunbathing on the lovely white beaches.
Elephanttreeking in the Elephantpark near HuaHin.
Some evenings we took our bikes and went in to HuaHin and the nightmarket & weekendmarket and some other smal markets.
One of our last days we took our bikes to ChaAm, sat down on the beach, bought some thaifood and watch the sunset over the sea, then we went to a real nice Thairestaurant by the sea, that kind of restaurants where you only find thaipeople, such a food they have, barbequed shrimps, chicken satey, fish, tomyumgung soup, thaifriednoodels with egg, and much much more for the price of almost nothing.
For some evening/nights there was a real Thaifestival in the part of the village were the Thaipeople lived, first we said ni that´s not for us it´s their thing, but the second night we went there, if things are cheap in Thailand on the market it was much cheaper there on their own market.
One of my friends bought one bracelet on the nightmarket for 1500 bath, I bought the same one on the festival for 350 bath, Billabongshirts for 50 bath to the kids, chicken satay for 5 bath, beer for 10 bath and so on.
Of course we had a lot of time by the pool & the beach, 45 degrees celsius, so we had to lay by the pool a lot.
Not a sign of rain until the last night in BangKwai, 15 minutes of rain in the middle of the night, that was the first rain since november last year.
The last night we spent in Bangkok again, we had an early flight home, the last shopping, some more gifts to people back home, a good thaidinner and then we went to bed for the last time in thailand for this trip.
We came home and find out that spring is in the air, soon summer & then time to planning the next trip and I belive that´s not gonna be any discussion over where we gonna go!!!

Resealbum: THAILAND
Once when I was younger I always said that I will never go back to the same place again, I wanted to see diffrent playces and countries, but now, many years later and after visiting Thailand for the first time, I changed my plans of seeing other places!
Right in this moment we are planing for our 4th holiday in Thailand & it´s the 4th year in a roud we went there!
Everytime we went to a little village called BangKwaiVillage, just between HuaHin & Cha-Am, rent an apartment for 100 SKR/ night for 2 pers.
Sometimes you take the cab and went out for a sightseening & to take a daytrip to another place!
The Island KohTalu where you can dive & snorkling or just sunbathing on the bech is only 2 hours drive away.
The river Kwai is also only about 2 hours drive!
Another time you rent a motorbike and take your map and drives around i the neigbourhood.
In HuaHin there´s always a nightmarket & a lot of smaler marketplaces, where you just can walk around and look.
The food at the market is cheap and delicious.
We always starts our weeks in Thailand in Bangkok, Asia Hotell in the middle og Bangkok, just 10 minutes walk from MBK, SiamCenter, you cant live better.
Some hours with shopping in MBK, the market, and some delicious food at night and day 2 your are a realy tourist that went to see some of the famous places in Bangkok.
This next time we take a hole lot of friends whith us, but for them it is the first time & while they are out looking for all that we already have seen we are going to take the bus down to KohTau for some days and diving & snorkling.
In my dreams I´m already back in Thailand again!
