I was finally going to Thailand.

From Langkawi there is a boat to Satun and from there I took 2 buses to arrive in Krabi, my first stop in Thailand.

My first surprise was the quality of the roads, everything is very simple but very good quality, no holes.

Krabi is a small town in southern Thailand, on the banks of the Krabi River (Pak nam Krabi). It is the starting point for islands and the most famous beach in the region, but I found it worth staying for a few days, as it has a lot to offer.

The first beach is Ao Nang, which is about 10 km away. The second is Railay beach, which can only be reached by boat and is popular with lovers of rock climbing.

There are hundreds of routes for all abilities, another option is Tonsai beach is a more hippie version, much cheaper but with a very simple infrastructure, getting to have no eletricity in many places.

We also have the islands I went to on several islands (island hopping) like Hong lagoon / Hong island, chicken island, Poda island.

After days in this paradise I moved to Phi Phi.

Phi Phi is one of the most famous islands in Thailand and one of the best places for diving, however I soon started to discover one of Thailand’s vocations, which are ballads.

The island has a lot of life very early with divers leaving and then about 10 hours of galley going to the beaches, in the early afternoon with the arrival of tourists coming from other places.

From 2 pm until 8 pm, the island is a bit deserted, but after that, it pours into the bars with music and drinks. The mess, drinks, rolls all night.

Here, in 2004, the Tsunami that images swept the world took place. It is also here the famous Maya Bay where “The beach” was shot with Dicaprio.

It is a very common beach, the only thing is that it is in a formation accessible only by boat.

Some days, several dives and it’s time to head to Phuket.

Since I arrived in Thailand, I started to discover why it is a place for tourists.

It has wonderful places, amazing food, everything very cheap and the tourism infrastructure is perfect, everything is found and the ballads are endless.

Phuket is say a doom. Here everything is taken to the extreme. It has tourism for all tastes and budgets.

It has restaurants of all types of pockets, shopping malls, endless bars of this juice on the beach and the whiskey club.

A very famous thing here are the Tattoo houses, there are dozens.

Another thing that is not lacking in Thailand is a massage parlor, but 95% are for tourists, I do not say that it is not a good one after a tiring day (beach, sun, food, drink, walks) relaxing in a massage besides it will cost us $ 5.00 an hour without crying, as it can be much less. so let’s enjoy …

First I went south to visit Raya island. Then I went to visit James Bond island and the floating village Ko Panyee.

It’s time to get out of here, because otherwise …… .. I’m going to the other side of Thailand.

The train was very comfortable arriving at 7 am in Bangkok. Researching I decided to stay close to Sukhumvit.

It is a neighborhood with good access, many restaurants, bars, shopping malls, a good number of hotel options and far from the most touristic places, but very easy to access.

Very rainy days so I went to Pataya, further south where it was sunny.

Returning to Bangkok I went to visit Chinatown and the most famous temple like Royal Grand Palace, What Po, Wat Arun etc.

Here I did the visa for China and I didn’t get the visa for Japan, they only grant the visa in the country of residence and I would not go back to Brazil, so I couldn’t go to Japan.

The first time in Bangkok I took the planned route and went to Cambodia.

After having passed through Cambodia and Vietnam, I returned to Thailand and from Bangkok I took a flight to Honk Kong.
