Hello world!
It has been some time (again), but we were busy doing the touristic things. We staid for 3 days, 2 nights in Hua Hin, but I'll never forget out time there! On the 17th of Januari me and my bf were together for 7 months.... and I forgot all about it! But Niek didn't, he spoiled me rotten with a beautiful white-gold necklace and a lichtbleu topas in a white-gold setting! I was realy suprised and did not now what to say, he is so sweet!
His feet where recovering realy well and I also found out that I couldn't extend my Thai touristvisa from Hua Hin, I (we) had to go to Bangkok and so we left sooner then we planned. Hua Hin is nice, but not much nightlife, except for the girlybars.... And it's more expensive then I'm used to in Thailand.
We tought it wouldn't take us much time to go to Bangkok, it's only a 4 hour drive (by bus, but by train aswel), but it took us almost another 4 hours by public bus to go where we wanted in Bangkok! The traffic here is terrible! Sometimes you don't move for 10 minutes or longer... the whole city is blokked this way, and we went at rush-hour. When we finally arrived it was to late (22:00) to ask around about my visa-extension and the next day, we slept too long... we woke up after officehours. And then we found out that it was a Friday, so we had to wait until Monday to get my visa extended... another 3 days in Bangkok we rather spend on a beach...
We did have a good time, went to the Bangkok Zoo, took a river (klong) cruise and we went to the cinema, but as we are staying on Kao San Road (backpackersstreet, cheap), we are realy bored here right now, we can't wait to leave tomorrow to Ko Chang, aonther paradise island (yes, I arragend my visa today)! The cinema was a nice experience, we went to Siam (part of Bangkok) en there you have a "Gold Star Cinema", what means that it's realy super- deluxe! It cost us 300 bath each (around 6 US dollars), but you had a waiter, the seats are unbelievable, you can lay down if you want just by stretching your legs, I want one for at home! My English isn't good enough to describe what an experience it was, and that in our travel clothes! When we arrived on Kao San Road again I met Peter, a German guy I met last time I was here, he just arrived a day earlier, nice to meet him again! I was suprised that he recogniced me, with my new hair and glasses...
Niek is leaving Thailand on the 29th of Januari, so we only got 1 week left together here, and then I don't know what my plans will be after that, I'll see.
Take care,
Linda
