August 2007 in Thailand & Cambodia

04 August 2007 - Valencia -> Madrid -> Qatar -> Bangkok

05 August 2007 - Evening arrival in Bangkok. Bruno pick me up and move to his place with his girlfriend. My 1st thai dinner, so spicy! and my first Chang Beers!! A big drink party to start the trip.

06 August 2007 - Bangkok: morning visit of the Golden Mount and Khao San to buy the bus to go to Koh Samui. First tuk-tuk drive in the city. These are a touristic way to move in the city of Bangkok. More expensive than taxis, don't miss to jump at least once on them. Actually, I found them exactly than the cocotaxis in Cuba. On the afternoon we took the bus to Surat-Thani. The travel agency told me that there was no train available, but I was still few hours in Thailand to understand that the travel agencies will always advice you to take their buses. Of course, there were seats available at the train but... Anyway, after more than 10h at the bus we arrive at 5AM at Surat Thani, where we had to wait 2 more hours for the Ferry to bring us to Koh Samui.

07 August 2007 - Koh Samui: arrival to the island and take a cab to Choeng Moon beach, near Chaweng Beach (the area of bars, discos and fun!). I paid a fortune, 1000Baths (20€) for 1 day, but i was destroyed to look for other place to stay. August is high season and everywhere it was full. After a wodenrful rest-afternoon at the beach we went to have a dinner at the area of Chaweng. Samui is popular for having nice restaurants on the sand of the beach, very cheap and delicious.
