In Phuket, with about 20 minutes before check out time at my hotel. Here's an update in lightspeed mode:
- Koh Samui was alright. Not great weather to be fair, but way too touristy for this tourist. Other people want to come see the same places as me? How dare they...
- Journey to Krabi was the worst journey to date. Should have taken 5 hours, took 9 because of poor service. Taken to random offices to buy more tickets, said no and made to wait. Broken down minivans (not sure if this was authentic) and way too many ppl in one vehicle, but met a nice couple along the horrendous way. Got to Krabi eventually.
- Did a cooking course in Krabi which was amazing. Thai food is one of the best cuisines in the world in my opinion, and its suprisingly simple, if you know how to do it. Which I am half way to doing. 3 of us in the class cooked all this in 2 hours, with some help ofcourse:
- Ko Phi Phi was gorgeous, but this attracts many white faces, which made the island feel more like a western place than a thai one. Did some more kayaking there, which bought me to the nicest beach i've seen on this trip so far, secluded, with water the colour of... well this:
- Phuket Town is great. Less white faces and alot of character make this place feel like some sort of old colonial chinese town, with great food due to the mix of chinese, thai and muslim communities livin here. Favourite town in Thailand so far. and best place to stay on a budget.
- On a less related but potentially more important note, I am in awe at Coldplay's new single. This could well be their best song...EVER.
