Last farewell

Last entry from the last norwegian in Thailand on his last day and the first day of the Thai year. The last few days have been really great. I have met some really nice people and we have had a lot of fun. I met this american guy the day before I left last island and we now share a room to save money. Even if I am not on a budget, most of the people I meet are, and I try to live like them. On the boat over from last island, we met this danish couple, and we have been hanging out since we met. They are really nice, and we have had a lot of fun these days (more…)

I have been travelling from south to north on this island the last few days and were going to leave this island today, but changed plans when a major rainstorm set in. It feels really nice to finally get to sleep in way past checkout time in the places I stay (more…)

One night in Bangkok

I am currently sitting in an internetcafe in Bangkok trying to figure out what to do, where to go, what to eat (more important: what NOT to eat) and how to be polite saying no to all the “good” offers given every meter. For those of you who don’t know why I’m here - here’s the short version (more…)
