Bangkok and Beyond

*I originally started this post a few weeks ago and forgot to post it. I am currently in Indonesia, but let's get caught up on thailand first:

My 30 day journey throughout Thailand is nearly at its end. Right now my days are spent at the beach with my primary concern being which type of fresh fruit smoothie to eat. My home for the remainder of my trip is Ton Sai beach, a 10 minute long tail boat ride from Krabi. I'm at the end of Ton Sai as it's known, as soon they will be developing a major resort on the beach front as a result of overdevelopment and tourism. 

Our journey last week from Koh Phangan to Bangkok last week consisted of train, plane, automobiles and boats. My friends and I took an overnight ferry from Koh Phangan to Suratthani. When I originally heard very, I assumed we would be in a normal ferry and sprawled across seats for the 7 hour duration. Instead I found out it was more like this:

Needless to say it was a bit cosy. 

When we arrived at the airport there was literally no one else there. Do you know how surreal it is to just rock up to an airport and there is not a single worker in sight and not a noise other than you and your friends walking in with your backpacks?

After arriving in Bangkok we had to hop on a bus, two trains, and finally arrived at our hostel hot and sweaty. We rode boats and went to the market, and the next day we climbed up an abandoned building. Beware! The locals will charge you, and there are rusty nails everywhere.

My return to Ton Sai a little bit easier. I did have to hop on two trains, a bus, then a taxi when I missed my bus stop, but after my flight and then shuttle bus I was back in Krabi for the night and then took a long tail to Ton Sai in the morning.

My simple little home with no hot water, electricity only between 6pm-12am. The lack of a fan in the morning assisted me with waking up every morning in time to do yoga and then grab breakfast at the famous Mama's Chicken.

The rest of my day would be spent climbing across the hill to Railay Beach for a swim and then bonfires at the beach at night.

It was a simple life, a good life, and I even had a job at a bar my last night. I probably could/would have stayed forever, but then I couldn't have moved onto my next adventure.
