Christmas is not widely celebrated in Thailand but if you're in a place that even remotely attracts tourists they'll make an effort to put lights up, wrap tinsel around palm trees and decorate restaurants with fake Christmas trees as well as large statues of Santa Claus. Larger resorts may even put on a special event … Continue reading ‘Guarantee Funny’ (X-mas in Thailand)

Z Bangkoku na ostrov Koh Chang
Vsechno probiha podle planu. Vstavame brzy, sbalime saky paky a pres aplikaci Grab (neco jako Uber) si zaridime odvoz na nadrazi. Nakup listku den predem se vyplatil, protoze rano uz je vyprodano (blizi se Vanoce). Autobus cislo 999 je prekvapive pohodlny, spousta mista na nohy, klimatizace funguje a dokonce je tu i splachovaci zachod! O … Continue reading Z Bangkoku na ostrov Koh Chang
From Bangkok to Koh Chang island
Everything goes according to plan. We get up early in the morning, pack our stuff and take a Grab (Thai version of Uber) to the bus station. We're pleased to find out that yesterday's journey to buy tickets in advance wasn't in vain as the bus is now fully booked (it's coming up to Christmas). … Continue reading From Bangkok to Koh Chang island

Rano jdeme koupit … Continue reading Zelena oaza v betonove dzungli

We sweat in places I didn't know were able to sweat but we sleep for 13 hours straight regardless (coach, run, train, run, plane, airport, plane, train, underground… the journey was long). On our way to buy … Continue reading Green oasis amid a concrete jungle

The Journey Begins
We're on a coach to Heathrow airport, it's 5am and we're both fast asleep when the coach suddenly stops - there's been an accident on the M4. We don't know what's going on, the driver doesn't know what's going on either, we're stuck in the middle of the motorway. Anton falls asleep again, Alena starts … Continue reading The Journey Begins
