Thailand!!!

Wednesday the 19th october we arrived in Bangkok! Allthough it was really cloudy, it was 32 degress!!

In Bangkok we checked into a small hostel in the middle of a "slum"! In between small shells and barely standing apartments, we found our hostel. The hostel itself was allright and we slept in an extremly small bedroom with 2 bunk beds. But atleast it had aircondition and the only cockroaches to be seen was outside :D

Since we had the whole day to kill before traveling, we decided to go to a street called Kosan road, where you apperently can buy everything really cheap, also really "slumy". The hostel manager told us the wrong information about where to jump of the bus, so we had to walk around alot and ask our way towards the road.
On Kosanroad we walked around alot, ate, bought and bargained for some things and just enjoyed ourself.

On the way home we wanted to take a TukTuk home to the hostel.

But the TukTuk driver had NOOOOO IDEA where or hostel was but he told us "no problem, I know!!" we squeezed in, 4 people into the small tuktuk (built for 2 kinda...) and we sat really uncomforable, and we drove around for about 40 mins and stopted in 4 locations "NO ITS NOT HERE"! After 40 mins we gave up! We stopted around 6 taxidrivers and noone knew where we lived, since they dont got GPS here. We talk to another TukTuk driver and he also says he knows where it is.... and drives us towards the right direction. but also the first 2 stops he makes is wrong, after 30 mins we finally find the right way to our hostel, and we jump of, shakeing and scared, the tuktuk was near to fall or breakdown several times, it was.... ANCIENT!

The next day we traveled a 7 hours (was suposed to take max 4 hours) busride, and then a boatride, to a beautiful island, named Koh Samet.

On Koh Samet we traveled to the more distant location of the island, allthough the island only is 6kms long so everything is walking distance.

We found really nice and cheap bungalows, located near the white sand beaches and in the middle of the jungle kinda. its really like living in the wild, spiders and lizards are walking around everywhere, we even saw a really posiones spider at a bathroom.

(we live in these...but since my camera is broken, I use google pics.)

So now, we have been here for almost a week, and we are loving it, we are doing what ever we feel like! Mainly, wake up, go to the beach, get brown, get massages at the beach, bath and swim in the ocean, eat well for basically nothing and party when we feel like it.

Life is really good here!
On thursday however, we are leaving Koh Samet to travel to another island named Koh Tao, but due to the floodings all over Thailand, the road there will be difficult. Since we just heard its really bad around Bangkok and we gotta go there first.

How often I can blogg is limited to how often I have time to write and find a internet cafe, since we are in the middle of the jungle, its not really a priority. My camera is broken, and so is my old laptop. But I will try to atleast buy a new camera so I can show some of my own pictures. And maybe we live closer to an internet cafe on the next island.
but know this, Im having the time of my life and im loving it here! And for the first time ever, I guess you will soon see a brown burnt Johanna :P

HUGS!
