too much Bangkok for me

Usually I am quite good to understand how the city works, how to move, where to go, etc.... but this time I have to say the Bangkok is too much for me. There is not one main center, the city is too big, too difficult to understand how the public transportation system works, every time I try go further I little bit I need a GPS to come back and find the way, in addition there is traffic jam all the time and it is always very hot.

For this time it is enough, next time I will come with more attitude, tomorrow I will move and start the trip in the islands starting from Ko Tao!

Fucking hot Bangkok

I just arrived in Bangkok, after more than 1 month spent in the mountains in Vietnam, Laos and Thailand and.... fuck, it so damned hot! more than 30 degrees, lot of humidity, heavy sun and lot of traffic! I don't understand how people may live here and it is even more difficult to realize how much hot can be in summer. Now just the time to organize my schedule and then I will be heading for some nice beach!

Golden Triangle trip ends in Mae Hong Song

well, in a few hours I will have the bus to Bangkok and I can say my trip in the northern Thailand is finished. I spent almost 20 days in the Golden Triangle, starting in Laos in Luang Namta and finishing in Mae Hong Son in Thai, putting my nose for few time even in Myanmar. I had better time in Laos than Thailand, so far the only place I liked here is Mae Hong Son, for Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai and Pai, nothing particular to say. Now I am heading south, beach life is in my mind, I will have some days rest in Bangkok and then I will begin the trip life I planned since lust July....enjoy!!

happy birthday in pai

Tomorrow il will be my birthday, but what I think it is more important to celebrate is my 6 months travelling. If I look back at July 2010 when I was still in Italy it seems like 5 years ago, now I am getting used with this traveler lifestyle and I don't think it will be easy to come back to "normal life". But for the moment I don't think about the comeback, I only think about keep going and hitting the road, again and again.

For what concern the trip I am in Thailand from almost one week, I am in the northern part, I have been in Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai, now just arrived in Pai, it seems a nice place to chill a little bit. I know blog you look very poor, but I have tons of pictures to upload about Vietnam, Laos and Thailand, as soon as I have some time and fast connection, I promise I will do it. Now it is time to celebrate! Cheers!!!!

happy 2011
