Thailand

Nu er det lidt tid siden jeg har lavet et opslag omkring min rejse. Jeg har været hjemme i lidt over en måned nu og har fået skrevet om Australien og New Zealand. Næste land er Thailand, hvilket jeg var helt tosset med. Vejret var (for det meste) i top med dejlig solskin – vi havde dog også regn. Bangkok var første stop. Her så vi The Grand Palace. SMUKKE templer og buddha’er. Vi så chinatown og derefter på den berømte Koh San Road (party street) og havde os en ordenlig brandert. Hektisk by, med masser af mennekser, alt for varm og lugtende. Fin by at opleve, men et par dage var også nok.

English: It’s been a while since I postet something about my trip. I’ve been home little over a month now and I’ve been writing about Australia and New Zealand. The next country is Thailand, witch I loved. The weather was great – sunhsine most of the time (a little bit of rain here and there). Bangkok was our first stop. We saw The Grand Palace. Beautiful tempels and buddha’s.  We saw Chinatown and after that the famous Koh San Road (party street) and got really drunk. Bangkok is a busy city, too many people, too hot and smells. Great to experience but a few days was enough.

Næste destination var Chiang Mai. Dette er den kulturelle hovedsad i Thailand. Her så vi utrolig mange templer og de ligger på hvert hjørne ligesom Starbuck’s gør i London. Vi boede på et skøøøn hotel med pool hvor vi også fik brugte nogle timer og arbejdede på vores tan. Den bedste oplevelse her var et tempel der lå på toppen af en bjerg hvor vi så munke gå til bøn. Vildt oplelvese.

English: Next destination was Chiang Mai. This is the cultural capital in Thailand. We saw so many temples and they are on every corner like Starbuck’s is in London. We lived at a greaaaat hotel with a pool where we spend a couple of hours and was working on our tan. The best experience was at one of the temples on top of a mountain where we saw some munks praying. Amazing experience. 

Koh Tao var næste stop og her tog vi vores dykkercertifikat. Noget som jeg længe har ville gøre. Det var over 3-4 dage hvor vi havde en masse teori, prøve dyk i svømmingpoolen og til sidst i havet. Vi blev Open Water Divers og jeg tog derefter Adventure Diver alene hvor jeg havde et nattedyk (det mest skræmmende nogensinde!!!), et 30m dyk og et skibsvrag dyk . Jeg glæder mig til at skulle dykke igen, for det er en helt fantastisk oplevelse som alle burde havde mulighed for at prøve!

English: Koh Tao was next stop and we took our diving certificate. Something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. It took 3-4 days with a lot of theory, trial dives in the swimming pool and in the end in the ocean. We became Open Water Divers and I took Adventure Diver after by my self where I had a night dive (the most scary thing ever!!!), a 30m dive and a shipwreck dive. I’m excited about going diving again, because it’s incredible experience everyone should have the opportunity to try.

Sidste stop i Thailand var Koh Pha Ngan som er kendt for sine Full Moon fester som vi selvfølgelig også skulle opleve. Her havde vi købt en Full Moon pakke hvor vi fik overnatninger, mad og diverse oplevelser. Her blandt andet et madlavningskursus hvor vi lærte nogle klassiske Thai retter. Der var fest hver dag og ligeledes tømmermændene som ofte følger med. Dagene op til Full Moon var vilde og vi boede på et dansk hostel hvor vi mødte en masse søde mennesker. Selve Full Moon aftenen var sindsyg og jeg har aldrig været et sted med så mange (stive) mennesker. Som Lolle og jeg snakkede om, burde man gøre det til en årlig tradition at tage til Full Moon, de er der trods alt hver måned. En perfekt måde at slutte Thailand af på.

English: Last stop in Thailand was Koh Pha Ngan witch is known for their Full Moon parties – that we of cause had to experience ourselves. We had bought a Full Moon package that include accommodation, food and some things to do the days until the Full Moon. We went to a cooking class and learned to cook classic Thai dishes. There was parties every night up till the Full Moon and we stayed in a Danish hostel where we met a lot of awesome people. The Full Moon night was insane and I have never been a place with that many (drunk) people gathered at once. Lolle and me talked about making it a annual thing to go to Koh Pha Ngan for the Full Moon – it’s there every month. A perfect way to end our time in Thailand.

Der er utroligt meget andet jeg gerne ville have set i Thailand, men tiden var knap. Det må blive næste gang jeg skal til Thailand. For det er helt sikkert ikke sidste gang jeg skal derned.

 

English: There is so much more I would have wanted to see in Thailand, but we didn’t have that much time there. I need to see it the next time I’m going – because it’s definitely not the last time I’m going down there.
