    First days in Bangkok

    September 2, 2022 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    The first days in Bangkok were insane. I was around with German, france and British people. We have seen some Temples and the khao san road as well a Night market. I am looking forward to the island because the warm wether here in the city is crazy.

    Bangkok is very chaotic and dirty, but very nice and polite people are here.

    I made a lot of party at the Kao San Road and slept unfortunately longer than I wanted..😂💪🏽

  • Day 6

    Bangkok —> Phuket

    September 4, 2022 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    So my first 4 nights in Bangkok are over and now I am going to phuket for some days. I want to calm down after drinking and partying at the Khao San road. (I also visited some temples😂😉)

    Bangkok is a chaotic and messy city. Now I want beaches and islands😂.

    I also tried Pad Thai and some local foods and to be honest - I have to get in touch with this kind of food..😂

    During my stay in Bangkok I had a group of 5 people and I really had a nice time with them!

    At the last day I enjoyed a hostel tour, where we went to a local river market. Furthermore we went by boat to a temple.

    Currently I am driving with a night bus (14h!!) to Phuket, where I can go to nice beaches.

    Three crazy stories:

    I saw an approximate 90 year old women, which payed with her mobile phone at one food stand.

    The rivers are brown and full of plastic and fishes, which they angle for the local markets. No wonder, that you can get a food poisoning there😂

    I opened Tinder at the 4th day and I got 34 likes and on Bumble were 50+😂. Never expected that & the most matches were Thais and a few ladyboys as well.

  • Day 7

    First day in Phuket

    September 5, 2022 in Thailand ⋅ 🌧 29 °C

    After 14h of bus driving to Puket I arrived there. Crazy long, but it was okay.

    After that I ate my first yellow curry in Thailand and it was the best meal until now in Thailand.

    Afterwards I had a 1h walk to the monkey hill, where are a looooot of monkeys ~(250) were at the way. And I was also so sweating 😂.

    There was a girl who feeders the monkey and then all monkeys came and then she screamed😂 so silly haha

    Second day in Puket

    September 6, 2022 in Thailand ⋅ 🌧 28 °C

    Today I had a very nice trip with Shawn, a guy from UK. We rented a car and no scooter, because we heard of people, that tourists often get fined by the polices for ~30€ in Phuket by driving a scooter. So it was cheaper to rent a car but very expensive: 900 Baht🤮🥶🤦🏼‍♂️

    We went to the Big Buddha, which is 45 meters high. Very impressive! There I got in touch, that they Thailand is counting in the Buddhism calendar and the year 2565.

    After that we went to Freedom beach, the most recommended one here. It was stunning there as well as the way to there…😂💪🏽

    Now I am relaxing and tomorrow I will go with Shawn to Phi Phi Islands for at least 2 days.

    I drove the most time, and it was the first time I was left driving and then started in the middle of a city…😂 (#proud of myself)

  • Day 12

    Koh Phi Phi

    September 10, 2022 in Thailand ⋅ 🌧 27 °C

    I were 3 nights in Koh Phi Phi and the island is very nice. To the way to Koh Phi Phi Shawn and myself get in touch with two Brasil girls and we stayed around with them as well. At the first day I went to a viewpoint & then I went partying and had such a nice party with Indian people💪🏽💪🏽

    At the next day I had a long tail boat tour, where I was snorkelling, saw the Maya Bay as well as I chilled with two German Girls in a lagoon during this tour. I have also seen plankton in the evening for my first time!! The day before I met one of these German girls in the hostel, the other was not feeling good (🤮). She was not feeling good as well at this trip..😂 the last day I went to the long Beach (Video) and grabbed some green curry there.

    Unfortunately I had to say goodbye to Shawn, because he is going to another route. But I met Holly from Leeds and stayed with her at the beach and rescued her, because she booked so many wrong thing in one time 😂.

    The Thai food tastes now quite good and I am really looking forward to the railey beach now.

    Railey Beach

    September 12, 2022 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

    I stayed at railey beach for 3 nights. I made an very hard hike (because it was very wet and deep) to a lagoon (video). I spoke to many persons and they mentioned, when they saw how deep it was they tourned back. I hurted a little bit my knew because i wanted to swing to another rock during climbing😂

    I made that hike and climb with tierakira, an girl from Australia. I floated in the lagoon for my first time and she was my teacher..🙌🏽😂💪🏽

    I saw also nice sunsets as well as the view point of the island. It was really amazing there.

    I wanted to chill at railey and had no party, except one chilled night with Tommy, an guy from the Netherlands. We played pool, meet the people from the hostel there and listened to live music.

    Nice fact:
    At railey there is the Phra Nang Cave Beach, which is voted as one of the nicest beaches around the world 😉

    Now I am going to the Khao Sok National Park, where I will make a tour with Holly (meet in Koh Phi Phi) and Konstanze (German, and met in the hostel here).

  • Day 17

    Khao Sok National Park

    September 15, 2022 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    I had an overnight stay in a bungalow in the Khao Sok National Park and a two day trip. It was the best activity I did so far in Thailand. The day before I catched up ~7 Travellers, who were joining the tour as well. I stayed in the bungalow with dudley, an guy from London, a very funny and nice guy (he was acting and looking like a study friend..😂)

    After we arrived at our location we made an hike to a waterfall, where my feets were under water sometimes till my knee. During this hike I damaged my swimming trunk #firsttimewearing🤦🏼‍♂️ When we went down it was raining and a beautiful rainbow was coming up. With Dudley I had an nice kajak tour around our location and a small island.

    We ate all the time buffet and at the evening we played Wizzard, I have known that from Germany, but I lost..😂

    At the second day we had an morning tour where we have seen monkeys as well as we went to a cave, where I have seen bats and spiders, which was very cool. During this another long tail boat was running out of patrol, so we had to rescue the persons from that long tail boat.

    In summary I had a very nice trip and the group and the people were amazing. (Holly is missing on this group photo)

    I am taking a night ferry to Koh Tao from Suran Thani today. I have in summary a transfer time of 15h. I am very excited how many hours I can sleep in my bed today… #lookslikesleepinginprison😂

    At least I saw a big group, who are making sport at the river. Also they have machines there, that they can make Sport here. I am surprised how many people are joining these sessions.

  • Day 22

    Koh Tao

    September 20, 2022 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C

    On the quietest eastern island on Thailand, Koh Tao, I have been five days. Koh Samui is known for many tourists, Koh Pha Ngan for party (fullmoon and half moon party) and Koh Tao for the quietness and diving. I met Antonia and Aaron from Bangkok again and had a relaxed and chilled time with them. They already knew the most beautiful places and showed me the cheapest and best restaurants. (Private Beach - You should Pay 100 Baht entry, but for the resort it is free so we sayed we are from the resort.😂 at the next day he greated us again, and others have to pay for it..😂😂😂)
    I was already exhausted of the traveling and connecting, so I was glad to see acquaintances and do not have a to find new close friends. With them I went on the southest Viewpoint, they showed me a nice restaurant on a hill and I went snorkelling with them for one day.

    I rented a 125 motorcycle for the first time and within 15 minutes every place was reachable.

    I have already spent the longest time in one place, but I would like to chill here even longer, because it is sooo beautiful and I took my time to rest at Koh Tao. also the hostel people and the view from there was stunning, so in summary it was a very nice stay at this small island.

    A lot of beaches with nice sunsets, good friends and food, what do you need more?
