      Ko Phangan ☑️ 🔜Penang Islands

      September 23, 2022 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C

      In the end I stayed 5 nights in Koh Phangan and I enjoyed the island life and the local food markets. It was the first time I was really alone, because most of the people in the hostel wanted to do their own thing. Therefore I could chill the first days, reflect the time in Thailand and think a lot about myself.

      I indulged myself a lot, especially at breakfast (I had 'expensive' breakfast every day with a really nice view).

      After I went to a waterfall and met new cool people, I met Prathvi, an Indian guy, and spent a total of two cool days with him.

      Funny stories:
      We ordered in a coffee Thai tea and it came a pot for 5 cups each.... & Tasted good...vanilla.

      I posted a picture in my instagramm story of Prathvi, but i believed it was me from the back😂.

      After watching the sunset at Amsterdam Bar(picture), we went to a night market and I bought two new hawai shirts (finally!!). We ended up in a bar at the beach, which was really nice there. i really enjoyed staying with Prathvi, because in my view we share the same values.

      What's crazy is that in Kaoh Sok National Park I wrote about Dudley, who looked like a study colleague. I met this study colleague on this night market, which is totally crazy!!! (Jonny from Regensburg)

      The next day Pratvi and I went to a viewpoint with 50 minits drive to there. It was really stunning there.

      In the evening I was taking my first Thai massage 😍. It was very good…

      Now its time to say goodbay to Thailand. I really enjoyed to start my journey here and it is easy to get in touch with people as a solo travellor. Unfortunatelly i met a lot of german here, whats a little pitty for me, because i would like to train my english language skill here..

      It is worth mentioning, that I skipped Koh Samui because everyone said, that this islands is to touristic and the islands I stayed were much better. [Edit: I got afterwards in touch with few people, who showed me really impressive pictures of Koh Samui)

      I would like to see in any case Chang Mai and Pai, but now it goes for me tomorrow first to Pengang, Georgtown with a transfer of about 15h (ferry, bus, night train, train, train, ferry).

      At the end I would like to mention, that it is legal to buy and smoke weed here. It was legalized in June 2022 and every household got 8-10 plants for free😂 I am exited if Germany will do it as well, if they will legalize it😂

      Hi👩‍🍳🥘🥄🔪🍴

      Heute haben wir einen Kochkurs gemacht...Das war richtig cool. 🙃 Wir haben zwei Gerichte gekocht: Chicken Cashew und Red Curry. 😋🍛 Zuerst hat uns unsere Kochlehrerin ein paar Dinge erklärt und dann ging's los. Zuerst haben wir gekocht und danach haben wir unsere Gerichte gegessen.👍Das war lecker....

      Beim Red Curry durften wir sogar unsere eigene Paste machen. Eigentlich hätten wir den Rest nach Hause nehmen können, wenn Mama nicht das Gemüse
      🌽🧅🥦🥒🌶️samt Salzwaser ins Curry gegeben hätte🥴🤣🤭, und wir deswegen die ganze Paste brauchten...😅 Troz alllem war es meeeeeeeeeeega lecker und SCHARF!!!🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
      Nach diesen Mahlzeiten dachte ich erst, ich sei für 100 Jahre ernährt...🫠🫠🫠

      Liebe Grüsse Maleah 🌶️🌶️🌶️

    • Day 50 - Back in the Game

      January 28, 2022 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

      I had the night sweats or more accurately sleep sweats for a 4th night in a row, but because I hadn’t slept that much the bed was damp more than saturated. I did however feel perfectly fine.

      At 10am we popped down to reception to await the arrival of our scooter & to get an iced coffee. Pat had forgotten to order our scooter & hurriedly ordered one for us.

      We were on the road by 10.30am & heading to Thong Sala for some retail therapy. We spent the morning hunting around for souvenirs with limited success.

      For a bit of culture, we visited Wat Phu Khao Noi, one of the smallest temples in the country, but the oldest on Ko Phangan. The hill upon which it sits has been designated a historic site. Jackie was not sufficiently modestly dressed, so she guarded the scooter, whilst I wandered around & snapped away.

      We then stopped at Lotus for provisions, mainly alcohol & snacks & headed back towards the resort. We stopped at What’s Cup, a cafe for a bowl of smoothie & an Hawaiian sandwich which were excellent & with a pleasant vista.

      It was then back to our place for an afternoon around the pool & with no side effects from lunch. So that evening we went back out on the scooter & headed south. We found a Thai restaurant called Zak. I ordered chicken & cashew nuts, whilst Jackie showed Zak a photo on her phone of the dish she would like. It was spicy prawns with rice & egg on top. Zak said he could do that & by god could he. He returned with a virtual replica of the photo which was apparently very tasty. With my appetite restored, I ate all my dinner & even managed some snacks when we got home.

      I feel that I am now back to my normal self which is a blessed relief. The ultimate test will be whether I do or don’t have sleep sweats tonight.
