Getting alone tomorrow!

So Elsa and me spent the week end on Kho Samet. It's a small island, 3h30 by bus from Bangkok. It's a quite touristic place, cause all the people who spend only few days in Thailand in Bangkok can go there for the week end, like us. However, because of what happened with the red shirts, there is not much American or European tourists. I'm a bit lucky from this point of view. Hus it was mainly tourists from Asia, or the upper class of the Bangkok families who take a week end out of the city.
The island was nice and weather was obviously raelly hot. So I thought I shouldn't get in the sun and I wore a towel for the whole day, except when we went swiming twice.. well... it was enought to get sunburnt! (note to my sweet mother: it was the first and the last time here, I promise!).

Yesterday and today I travelled arround in Bangkok, after being annoyed by the irritated thai people in the touristic places, I got lost in few streets and markets, where thai always have their famous smile. I've been walking through food, flower, or whatever markets. There are damn big amount of evrything, including nice fruits but also some stuff I would never eat. I also visited some temples and museums.
Yesterday night we went to a restaurant with a thai couple that Elsa and another french girl knew from university, and I think tonight we'll go out with some french people that work here (sort of an expatriate ambience I guess).

Tomorrow I'll leave bangkok to go down to the south, towards the islands. I'm probably gonna go to Kho Tao. I'll try to dive and see by my own how it's going on on these island, between tourists attracted by heavenly beaches, amazing diving, 'end of the world' style, backpacker meetings, international/clubmed parties, etc etc..

I'm quite tired, I guess it's because of the climat and maybe still a little bit because of the jet-lag. I hope it'll get better when I'll be relaxing in the south, out of the stuffy but pretty amazing atmosphere of Bangkok.

I'll try to post some pics next time, but I don't take many anyway, I feel too weird about taking pictures of the people when they see me.

I'll keep you posted.
