Hola!

From Asia I went after long hours of flight to South America.

I have started exploring this continent from the north of Chile, where I went to San Pedro de Atacama to see Valle de la Luna, El Tatio geyser field and others smaller Atacama desert attractions.

After that I went for a couple days to Bolivia to visit Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve with amazingly beautiful lakes (Laguna Verde, Laguna Colorada) and I climbed up the Licancabur volcano.

Hello again,

From Thailand I went to Indonesia, just for a couple of days… to have look

And it’s very nice , cheap, not that many tourists (because of rainy season, which is not that rainy in fact) and the Indonesian peoples are very friendly. One day I’ll definitively try to go back over here for more detailed exploration…

I visited only some major attraction on Java island such as Borobudur & Prambanan temples, Mount Bromo and then I went for a couple of days to Bali island to enjoy some surfing and sun

Thailand, islands

From Laos I went back to Thailand, but this time to its southern part with the beautiful islands.

However, I was a little bit disappointed to be honest. It’s expensive!!! And according to the guide book, that I have, it looks like the prices on Thai islands are rising by around 15-20% every year, so probably in 2-3 years the accommodation and food prices will be the same as in e.g. Italy!

I spend a couple of days on Koh Lanta island (which supposed to be a little bit less crowded by the white skin tourist, but it wasn’t at all…) and later on I went to Koh Phi Phi, which is totally crowded by the tourists from Europe, Australia and America, however it’s still very beautiful and looks like a little paradise… On the islands I went diving for 2 days, and it was the best part of my Thai visit.

Laos

Hello!

I’m in Laos. I went by speed boat from the Thai border to Luang Prabang in the northen Thailand.. It was an amazing experience, you have to wear a motorbike helmet and sit like in a bobsleigh car

Later on I went to Vang Vien the “capital” of tubing.

And today I’m already in Vientanne, the capital of Laos

Chiang Mai

tomekg — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 14:24:55 +0000

Today I’m in Ching Mai where I went for an elephant ride a visit in the long neck women village and rafting.

Chiang Mai is ta very nice place to visit in the northern Thailand with a lot of outdoors activities around.

Tomorrow I’m planning to go to Chinag Khong and then to Laos

Sukhothai

tomekg — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 15:58:32 +0000

After visiting some amazing temples and palaces in Bangkok, I went to a quite small town in northern Thailand, called Sukhothai, which was the first Thai capital.

Almost whole day I was visiting the temples and surrounding villages on the rented motorbike

Bangkok

tomekg — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 15:15:00 +0000

And today after a bus trip from Siem Reap (on the unpaved road in Cambodia) I arrived to Bangkok in Thailand. In a couple of days I’ll go to the north of Thailand and then to Laos.

Few days in Cambodia

tomekg — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 15:13:38 +0000

After visiting Vietnam I went to Cambodia and spend a few days over there.

To get to Cambodia from Vietnam I took a boat and spend a night on the boat on the Mekong river. In the morning I saw the famous floating markets in the Mekong delta. I visited some minority villages and I went to see a fish farm.

In Cambodia I visited the capital Phnom Penh and Angkor Archaeological Park (one of the most important archaeological sites in South-East Asia) near Siem Reap.
