2010, Asia, Thailand

6 weeks backpacking in Thailand

6 weeks condensed into just a few lines is hard. First stop was Khaosan Road, Bangkok. All backpacking adventures have to start there! Then we flew (because it was cheap and we were lazy) to Koh Samui where we stayed for a while. Next up was Full Moon Party at Hat Rin, Ko Pha-ngan. That’s just something to experience!

From Ko Pha-ngan we then travelled to Ao Nang on the west side of Thailand. A very popular place for tourists to go and I can understand why. Then we went to the Phi-phi Islands for a while and then onto Khao Lak. From Khao Lak we went to the Similan Islands and stayed a couple of nights in this more or less paradise.

Last move we made was north to Khao Sok National Park where we explored some caves before heading back to Bangkok again. From Bangkok we went to Erawan National Park (waterfalls) over the day, and then it was time to fly back home again.

In loving memory of Henrik.

London

I’ve been to London a couple of times before, back in 2000 and 2001. London is one of those places you can come to over and over again. It’s nice just walking around looking at things. This time around I spent more time doing touristy things rather than clubbing so I actually got to see the London Eye, Piccadilly Circus, Paddington Station, Big Ben and so on. Turns out it’s really easy to end up in Camden, a lot had changed since early 2000’s. But the cat-people at The Hobgoblin was still there. Always something. I also made an effort to find the restaurant Em’s which should be somewhere in Soho, but could not find it. Bummer. At least I got to hang out with my friend James a bit!
