Same, same- but different! Cheap, hot Thailand
After we arrived in the paradise of shopping and massage,
Steffi and me went out to Khaosan Road and went directly to the tailor. Actually it was by accident: but we ordered sako, skirt, trouser, 2 dresses and 3 blouses:) WE couldnt stand this cheap prices and that tailor-made. Oh wow!
After that we went to the Massage and beauty center which is here on every corner and get us a facial and thai massage for 1hour (4Euro!!!).
At the next day Nina and Kordschi finally joined us. 4 girls in shopping paradise- ohoh! But we already did some sightseeing besides of shopping:)
At night it started to rain like hell (almost every second day) because of the rain season. We got completely wet, when we arrived at the hotel and laughed for minutes about it :)
We went with the boat through the klongs (=canal), saw one big iguana in the river, a lot of wats, buddha monks, elephants,...
One day we made a trip to the swimming market, the bridge at the Kwai (Moovie) and a tiger temple! At the swimming market we took a boat, but stand for 10minutes on the same place directly in the hot sun because there were too many boats with tourists on that small river. We almost went crazy, but could "escape" after 20minutes. Horrible! Very, very touristic. But I think thats almost everything in Thailand.
The bridge at the Kwai was a little bit scary- no handrail and strong wind. But no problem for me now after my skydive :) Thousands of people died while building the bridge!
The tiger temple was also very touristic. Guides took you by the hand and took pictures with you and the tigers! We thought this will be completely different. We heard after our visit that they get drugs to be calm. Sorry, we didnt know :(
Nice trip, although very touristic!
At night we went to the Pathong, the red light district. Of course by tuk tuk,
which is cheapest and most exciting way to get around (actually very, very dangerous- so much traffic in Bangkok). I couldnt believe that some of these ladyboys were once men...They look like the most beautiful women! Interesting and also horrible to see at the same time..
At the next day we couldnt get into the Wats because the sister of the king died. So we went to the big weekend market with 6000 stands. Unbelievable cheap( fake brands for 3 euro per tshirt) but soo hot during the day. I prefer night markets :)
Right now we are in Chang Mai! Unfortunatley, I had some problems with my stomache and had fever yesterday. So we went to the hospital and I got some medications. Now I am feeling much better. But I couldnt do the trekking tour today. Lovely Steffi stayss with me while Nina and Kordschi started a 2 day trekking, elephant riding , village visit, bamboo rafting trip. Steffi and me will hopefully do a one day trip soon!
Thats it!
Hope to hear from you soon!
Kisses,
yours 4 thai girls
