stopover in Germany!
Last Saturday, I'm landed back in Germany! After 2 weeks in the heat (38 degrees) and humidity (90%), I somehow got on the typical German weather currently 15 degrees and overcast sky:) Every day the sun can also be annoying at some point! Here you can forward still on a cloudless and sunny day.) Incidentally, I've also caught a fat sunburn, even though I was always in the shade.
Apart from the hot weather and the associated Dauertranspiration, it was on the island is very beautiful. White sand beaches, few tourists, beautiful sunsets. While it was intended season and so little going on anyway, but even in the peak Ko Lanta not be as crowded as the "tourist resorts" Ko PhiPhi or Ko Samui. So if a relaxing beach holiday with lazing in the sun, splashing in the sea and read thick novels studied, the warmest I can recommend the island. Little more is there can not do!
You can rent a scooter, which I did. So you can go around the whole island, and as a small and secluded beach look. With such a trip can be seen as well as the residents of Ko Lanta, mostly Muslims, live in the interior. Middle of the jungle, in simple bamboo huts without electricity or running water. A moped is but mostly from the cottage in which there are a dime a dozen.
Inland, there is a cave, Tham Khao Mai Kaew, which I have as a diversion from the daily "beach program on an early morning views. With a guide, it first goes on narrow paths through the jungle, until one after about 30 minutes at the entrance. Is so small that one more hineinkriecht to run as. With a head lamp on his head, it is then more or less a bent position on pitch-dark by the big and small caves. Just before the output has to be on all fours, crawling through a hole in the wall of rock on which one can decide, in the bat cave, hanging upside down for hundreds on the ceiling. After that I was glad to see daylight again and breathe fresh air. Was definitely an exciting and interesting thing.
from the island back to Bangkok, I went with the night train in a sleeping wagon. Was a more relaxed option than the bus could even sleep! Because of the continuing unrest in Bangkok, I wanted to spend the day not so long, so I'm already in the afternoon was at the airport, even though the flight left at midnight. Prefer there to serve the time as in a bar in Bangkok where perhaps purely a grenade flies.
My impression of the Thais is more mixed. I was most annoyed that you will angequascht constantly on the road ("Hello, where are you going?"). The central station in Bangkok, I took a shower the morning after the long train ride. This can in principle with the temperatures make 2-3 a day, I still wanted at least 1 time before I get on the plane :-) Like a shower looks at a railway station in South East Asia, one can imagine so, but I am now some used to. When I just pack my things back in the pack, yet so quatscht me to a Thai. "Hello, how long do you stay in Bangkok. What are you doing today? What do think of what my reply is that I tell each running up what I'm doing today? Or perhaps urgently need a property that I can then mediate a guy out of the shower? That is what 98% of the cases so any business with such a stupid "Farang"!
clear many Thai's live from the tourists but there are many other countries, and there will not be accosted so stout and bold. Ok, maybe I'm a little spoiled by Japan, where such behavior is unthinkable, but whatever I hate it in principle angelabbert be on the road because of a business, no matter in which country. You have the whole deal
already with a certain Kaltschnäutzigkeit and remain steadfast when it comes to negotiating the price. Specifically for taxi drivers. Before getting always ask the price and setting. For 250 THB, I started at the airport, he then tried to strike out 300, "its ok".
"No its not ok!" After a brief back and forth then it stopped at 250!
time in the old home I use a few things to settle and prepare for the next Tripp. Back to a regulated life with a troughs 8-hour job, which I am currently nee further away than ever before!
Personal freedom and the daily new impressions which have been on the road again, I like too good!
the last few months I was very much in cities and had no physical challenges, my body longs out for new outdoor adventures. Northern Europe, with its untouched nature is predestined :-)

Had the impression the whole business is a ausgekluegetes system where everyone gets their money. Went all over the heavily discredited tour operator "Songserm. I
On Ko Lanta I then use a Japanese is a Tuk Tuk (scooter taxi growing category), and I even searched for a hotel.
For the first 2 days I had a bungalow right on the beach but only with Fan (Venitaltor). Which are of course with air-condition more expensive. Thought I could save the money myself. Well after 2 more or less sleepless nights I was taught a better! The tropical heat here, namely from freezer not properly at night, are you still around 29 degrees and above all the humidity! During the day the 38 degrees and correspondingly more humid, you have to first get used to it. Resorts
But there are lined up like pearls on a string, so I'm just a few feet farther, cleaner in a factory, with restaurant right on the white beach, there was now a bungalow with air-con and a better sleep;)
general, the island is not over run so tourits such as Ko Phi Phi or Ko Pha Ngan. Accordingly, there are probably also the prices are higher, but thought it would be even cheaper but is still moderate, pay here for the Bungalow 500 B / night (about 12 €).

1st Lohri Ceremony Invitation
to Thailand! Thanks
Osaka \\ Shin-Imamiya .. I lived here five days
Leaving on Friday (23.4) after 3 months and therefore Osaka, Japan, towards Bangkok!
After much back and forth, did not open many possibilities. I have come only with a one-way ticket to Japan. So I had one way or another eventually book a flight to Germany or wherever, too.
On Monday, I've been to dozens of travel agencies to request me various deals. Now comes the moment you do not easily back to Europe. Once a course because of this stupid ash cloud. Have a Dutchman and Englishman made the First time here so stuck.
is the other starting next week through early May here in Japan, the so-called "Golden Week", is called absolute peak travel season for the Japanese, where you max 1 week from your. 2 weeks vacation a year, the:) So either fully booked or expensive pork.
has since taken off my have saved money already hard would I necessarily have to pay the flight bar with my last salary from the hotel job. Cash payment is common here in the agencies. would not be enough left over after deducting the fare to which 2 weeks or longer to travel to Shikoku in Japan or around. As mentioned already several times in terms of accommodations Japan is one of the most expensive countries!
for with my local business hotel 1600 Y / night I was really lucky. Ok, the low price is also related to the district, the poor and homeless district of Osaka. Here are the homeless people run around on their property Ziehwaegen lying on the curb or p *** on the street. In the 5 days since I'm here, and often hit the road at night, I'm not one time been "stupid" turned on or been pumped out. I also believe in this "layer" is the appropriate decorum and respect for others, as usual everywhere else in Japan.
In the monastery I was a German-Russian, who was already several times in Antaiji brought to Thailand. He told me that he was the last time about Bangkok was flown back to Germany, where slack has spent 4 weeks.
Thailand, which promises lots of sun and beaches, and especially for a low-budget travelers like me a cheap life) included, in addition to Travel India, cheapest countries in the world.
And so I had heavy hearts against a further tour in Japan and decide for a 2 week stay in Thailand, which is certainly not the worst choice:). If all goes well, then this is the end of my Asia trip and I will arrive in about 2 weeks in good old Germany. But who knows if I meet in Thailand so or what arises, plans are to be changed to yes even there!
I'm looking forward to Thailand which I have heard a lot. Heat, humidity, Beach and crafty Strassenhaendler, haggle there belongs to the agenda.
is in contrast to the so perfect and orderly Japan first had to be a change, but adapt to new circumstances, I am actually quite good.
Did not have a strong policy objectives or plans will end up in Bangkok and then see what develops from or where it takes me. Tend more to the south, in some not so overrun by tourists island, currently I am more to relaxing and lazing on the beach:)
Japan, but that did not die, my Visa laueft until next year and would like it not really be kept as simple . With my Re-entry Permit may I once again back, the fall would offer themselves, sometimes . Look
So Goodbye Japan, it was a great, exciting and intense time .... Thailand I come!
