Go back over these 5 days memorable.
September 21: the TGV Thai
Objective
take the train to Pak Chong (Khao Yai National Park) to Bangkok and then take another train to a small southern town and spend the night quietly. Objective
missed. Yeah because we missed the match with the second train. It's true we have not allowed enough time between the two matches. 2 hours was not enough. Beh yes on a trip that lasted 4 hours, it took 6:30. Not bad, you take more train 3rd class. Result was missed the match and we also missed the next train. On one stone, as they say. Total change of plan, we are obliged to take an overnight train to Trang while in the south. So we will make the southern part of the South to the North and not the opposite as expected. Understood?
September 22: Arrive Trang
7am, slept not too badly. A Trang nothing to do but nearby is the archipelago of islands of Trang. Waiting to see any this, we must consider the further course. Our course on the southern islands and our possible stay in the UAE during the stop on our return flight.
For the islands is very bad start. This is the worst time to visit, rainy, stormy sea ... As a result many ferry does not operate and the less touristy islands are inaccessible. At least rent for himself the services of a long tail boat is allowed ... so dropping the archipelago of islands Trang to Koh Lanta easily accessible. Otherwise
Trang is a Thai town standard (ugly). Positive is a town much less touristy, we were not housed in a tourist ghetto The night market is nice, always surprising displays DVD / CD counterfeits, R. almost died (too spicy dish).
September 23: Koh Lanta
Departure for Koh Lanta, 2:30 minivan, two short ferry to take to reach the island. The sun is there and the scenery is very promising. Landing at the resort. Staff abject bungalow near the end. But it was the mini terrace, hammock, all with a bit of beach views. On arriving, we took advantage of the beach despite the bad weather that moved. The beach is lined with resorts all along but it's well done. We saw beautiful shells and hundreds of crabs. And to finish the day nothing better than a small beer bought at the local supermarket and eaten on the beach just before the bar of the resort.
September 24: Tour of the island
We rented a scooter for the day to tour the beach. The weather will remain overcast all day. We saw some beautiful views from the top of the island, a small fishing village, beaches polluted by the gray, a mosque, monkeys in an open dump and a snake crushed.
Not to mention very useful advice:
Good good, all that was missing sun frankly, very frustrating (especially after seeing photos of Koh Lanta in the sun in a magazine at Our lunch at the restaurant). We finish the day with a beer on the beach, beautifully illuminated by all the resorts.
25 September: it was true
It confirms it's really not the right season to come to the islands. Full day in the monsoon. Can not get out. Distractions of the day: swimming tropical (tropical sea + Tropical rain) and messing around on the hammock.
We decided to do away with Koh Lanta, booking the boat to Koh Phi Phi. We finish the day ... with a beer on the beach! The sunset is magnificent
