I flew to Phuket, took a taxi to Ao Nang where I waited for a friend for a couple of days. Then we moved to Krabi and waited yet another day for my friends friend to arrive from Sweden. The 3 of us went on a small version of the trip I had done the previous year, Koh Samui, Ko Pha-ngan and then back to Ao Nang. I decided to split because I had already been in Thailand, and I wanted to go to Borneo and I had limited time.
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.
