Mekong river and Stop in Pakbeng
November 26 in Laos ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C
Wir sind 6h mit einem slowboat nach Parkbeng auf den Mekong river gefahren, wobei wir sandwiches und gekühltes Bier dabei hatten.

Die Fahrt war ok, wobei die Natur auf den Mekong river, mitten im Dschungel, atemberaubend war.

Wir sind auch öfters gehalten um locals nahe am river sowie Lebensmittel abzugeben. Es war echt schön zu sehen, dass “mitten in der Pampa” die locals gewunken haben sowie in ihrer Situation mega glücklich gewirkt haben.

Nachdem wir angekommen sind, haben wir auf einer chinesisch-Laotischen Hochzeit gefeiert, was echt cool war. Die deutsche Gruppe mit der ich unterwegs war, war voller toller Leuten. (+niklas)

In dieser Nacht habe ich leider erfahren, dass mein Opa verstorben ist. Nachdem ich eine Nacht darüber “geschlafen” habe, entschloss ich mich einen Rückflug von Luang Prabang nach Bangkok und nach München zu buchen. Da ich mitten im Nirgendwo war, konnte ich nicht noch früher nach Hause.Read more

Hello Laos!
November 25 in Laos ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C
Today Daniel and myself crossed the border to Laos. At first we took a very uncomfortable bus from Chiang rai to Chiang Khong to cross the border to Laos. There we got in touch with 3 other German guys. (An guy from Estonia missed his passport at the hostel and he went out of the bus - in the evening we played cards together with him😂)

The visa on arrival was easy & after paying 40 USD and filling up some letters with our details we were able to cross the border. Quite easy and fast. Now we are in Ban Houayxay in Laos and all 5 of us will drive within two days on the Mekong river to Luang Prabang tomorrow.Read more

Golden Triangle (Opium) and Myanmar
November 24 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C
Although Daniel and myself wanted to make a trip together, he stayed at home because of he felt sick. So I decided to make my tour to the golden triangle alone with the scooter.

The golden triangle is known for its opium Plantages in the past. They grow opium (primary for Morphium and heroine) in Laos, thailand and Myanmar. (Other big regions are Mexiko, Columbia and Pakistan now)

So I was able to see at one spot after 1 1/2 h of driving the borders of Laos, Thailand and Myanmar, which are separated trough 2 crossing rivers.

After that I went to a opium museum, which was very interesting! (Growing and harvesting process, how they traded in the past and smoking pipes)

After that I had some time left and I decided to go to a spot, where I can cross the border to Myanmar.

So I was in Myanmar🤪(for 15 minutes).

In the evening I ate a traditional hot pot with chicken, shrimps and beef with Daniel. So good…

Tomorrow we want to cross the border to Laos, sleep one night there and drive on the Mekong river to Luang Prabang.

A new country is coming!!Read more

Temples and Buddha
November 23 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
During the bus drive I got in touch with flour (netherlands) and Daniel and myself went in the evening together with her to a food court.

At the next day we rented a scooter and have seen the white and the blue temple in Chiang Rai as well as a Big buddah (69meters high, builded 5 years ago)

Now it it time to watch Japan against Germany!Read more

Chiang Rai is calling
November 22 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C
After arriving in Chiang Mai, I met with Dani and we went to a fancy food court. Because Dani is a little bit sick, we chilled in the evening.

After breakfest at the next day we checked how to cross the border to Laos. We will stay one night close to the border to Laos, cross the border and drive with a boat on the Mekong river to Luang Prabang.)

Currently we are sitting in a bus to chiang Rai, which takes 4h. (Better than driving to Pai, because of the fast minivan driving and a lot of curves).

I also feel good and have more energy to make jokes again!! I really long for it to be more active and being surrounded with more people, because the last ~10 days were ok.Read more

Antibiotikum ✅🔜Chiang mai & Rai
November 20 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
Nachdem ich 4 Tage in Pai Antibiotikum genommen habe und mich noch eine weitere Nacht ausgeruht habe, werde ich heute nach Chiang Mai mit den minivan fahren.

Mir geht es deutlich besser und ich fühle mich wieder bereit zum Reisen!

Eigentlich ging es mir die ganze Zeit in Pai leider nicht gut. Durchfall, Parasit, Antibiotikum aber 8 Nächte in einem privaten Bungalow (schöne Natur)

Ich habe Dani aus Malakka wieder gesehen, mit den ich nach Chiang Rai fahre.

Außerdem hab ich an 3 Abenden Aaron und Antonia wiedergesehen & ich war zumindest am Pai Canyon und an einem viewpoint🤗.

Pai ist zudem bekannt für seine lässigen, chilligen und entspannten vibes in der City, was ich trotzdem bestätigen kann. Die Leute bleiben hier meistens länger weil es so gechillt. Vor allem die Ruhe am Pai River sowie die Nähe zu den zwei Hauptgassen war echt cool. Da ich auch den Pai Canyon (mit Sonnenuntergang) gesehen habe hab ich mich dazu entschlossen über Chiang mai nach Chiang Rai zu fahren.

Ich bin zudem echt froh, dass es mir und meiner Gesundheit besser geht, sodass ich weiter reisen kann🙌🏽🙏💪🏽hoffentlich bleibt das auch so…Read more

Antibiotic almost done
November 19 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
It is not much to say about the last days. I slept quite much and the diarrhea was getting better every day. Daniel left to chiang mai for the elephant sanctuary and I met Antonia and Aaron again.

Now I am taking the last pills of my antibiotic against the intestine parasite and hope, that I can travel again...Read more

Analyze: Parasite and Pai Canyon
November 16 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
After I really felt better, I rented a scooter to explored a viewpoint, where I had an amazing view over Pai. Pai is so tiny (2500) and the nature is amazing. I also watched the sunset at the Pai Canyon with Dani.

At the night I pucked my whole food from the day out & my diarrhea was so hard, that I pooped water. After I drunk more, I immediately pooped it out again.
I felt so shitty, that I decided to go to the hospital (Dani was with me), where they analysed a parasite in my poop. Now I know the reason, why I am feeling so bad & it was not only diarrhea..

I need to take now for 4 days antibiotic and something to push my immune systeme.

„Stuck in Pai“ in another way…(because a lot of people get stuck here, because it is so chilled and relaxed in Pai, and yes it is..)

So hopefully I will feel better the next days, because I haven't felt this bad in a long time..Read more

Relaxing days in Pai (Private Bungalow)
November 14 in Thailand ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
After arriving in a private bungalow near the Pai river, I chilled out by myself. I wanted to get healthy, took some medicine and it worked out after 2 whole resting days💪🏽 I will stay in the private bungalow longer, because it is very cheap and nice. Dani from Malakka is joining me there some days

In general Pai is very chilled out. Very small and it has living vibes as in Malakka and Koh Tao. Very relaxed, smaller, not much traffic. I really like it here and that’s the reason why I will stay ~ 5 nights.

The next days should be again very chilled, getting healthier & explore Pai.Read more
