Air India treated us well and flew us back to Bangkok safely. I thoroughly enjoyed watching two Hindi movies (not understanding a word they were saying) and my chicken curry for lunch. We didn't want to stay in Bangkok any longer so we opted to bus and ferry to Koh Phangan first thing in the morning at like 5:30am. I guess it was an eye opener for us both as we saw how the ladies and ladies boys attempt to lure foreign men at the end of a big night out.... you know. I tell you they were really straight to the point........
So we came from this
to this...
Back to water bliss. It's nice to be able to sleep well, actually its just nice to have a room as suppose to a closet like the one we stayed in Tokyo. I do miss Japan already. However, thai food i guess makes up for that.
We are staying in the north-western part of Koh Phangan and as far away from Haad Rin (overdeveloped backpackers party beach) as possible. We biked there yesterday and sadly it truly was disappointing. The beach was dirty as there were empty beer bottles left on the beach and taxi boat touts galore.
Haad Salad is one of Koh Phangan's unspoilt and less developed areas and the road is a clear statement to this.
Salad Beach Resort is perfect, i love swaying palm trees and gorgeous sunsets and peaceful uncrowded beaches. The only complaint is the water is too hot!
Tomorrow, we have yet again another early start. We rise at 5am to catch a taxi to the pier and boat it to Surat thani (if i'm not mistaken, i'm probably am) then bus to Hat Yai and from here we hope to catch another bus to Kota Bharu, Malaysia. Basically, our next destination is Palau Perhentian, Malyasia.
Until then,
Too brown Uriah.
