How To Replace Christmas Fuses

Thailand from July 22 to August 13, 2007

There are times where meetings will be decisive for your decisions. 8 kilos lighter after a week of violent turista, determined to leave for Kathmandu to renew my Indian visa despite my fatigue, my bus ticket in hand, I meet a tourist counter at my hotel in Varanasi. Briefly, it will bring down the weak motivation I had left: "You're crazy, the road is very dangerous in dry weather, but there with showers is madness. In addition you for 48 hours under your fitness gonna be a hell, I strongly advise you to fly. "It took me no more, to pause in my journey, fly to Kathmandu but not for the beaches of Thailand, determined to get fit and to leave the violent humid heat of India. The impossibility of crossing the border or the sea to Thailand from India was the last excuse for this neglect.

So off I go to Thailand.

On arrival at Bangkok airport, I measure how my trip has changed. Tourists arrive by the thousands . Everything is simple, I stop at a travel agency, a few hours later, I'll be in Kho Tao. From Bangkok, I was stick a pin on my T-shirt, and from there I was transferred to Kho Samui airport to a bus, then a boat to reach this small island in the Gulf of Siam. Barely any native, I find myself with tourists, I feel full shift. Kho Tao
Why? Just because a passenger had told me on another trip that was still a genuine place. Unfortunately I found myself with hundreds of tourists, all tracks are covered bungalows ais m still quite beautiful.
So I try to get some rest, massage, diving, walks ... But there's more adventure.

After a week in Kho Tao and a weekend with Laura Kho Samui, I'm going to join in Krabi Railay under the guidance of Dutch. Again, I find myself with my pin and left for a day boat and bus to reach the shores of Andaman Golf, still few Thais such transport.

The place is very beautiful, sort of arm of sand bordered to the south of a beautiful beach and north of a large bay and both ended by beautiful loaves of sugar and covered with ocher lush vegetation.
I rest, eat 5 meals a day to try to gain weight, without success. I started climbing, favorite sport tourists from Railay. Apart from some Palestinian friends, I can no longer enjoy this trip. I feel tired and listless to leave. After much hesitation, I finally give up and take a trip to Hoing Kong. But it was in France that I finally arrived.

It's not easy to stop, but I reached the minimum goal I had set: Staying chain Karakorum.

I am proud to come up there and making this wonderful trip.
