Bangkok

Bangkok is amazing, I meet a lot of great people can't name them all. My brother gave me the tipp to sleep by Mac & Noi, it was awesome. They are great people always help you, give you advice and are really friendly. It was a little adventure to get there. The door was locked and I was kind of lost... But Alex a friendly german let me in and he gave me good information. The house and room was good enough space and everything. I lived really by the locals, tiny roads, lots of people and food everywhere food, it tasted really good. You really have to try it.
Then I meet Djowy a guy from Holland. We got out in the evening get some beer, walking and had a good conversation.

It was always nice to come back to the bar of Mac & Noi after a long day. Grab some beer and talk to nice people. I meet a German and an American couple.

And then there walks a turkey :D

One evening Djowy and I played some cards with the locals. Wow it was some munch fun, awesome!

My friend from Dubai and the girls were in Bangkok, too. We meet again to see the temples and all the stuff around. First time of water taxi and tuk tuk...

Wow it was and adventure! Water taxi is really great, but tuk tuk is special. We only wanted to go to the big golden budda.

We drove there but we although got to two tourist information centers and tailor's. But in the end it was fun and we said once you have to do it, never agian. We got to the great palace afterwards, golden mountain and some temples.

We had a great day saw and walking a lot. The next day we spontaneously got to Ayutthaya. It is 1:45h north from Bangkok and the former capital. It got burned down 500 years ago. We only payed 30 bath, it's about 75 cents, really really cheap.

After we got there we have to decide how we want to get from one to the other palce. We got a tuk tuk... But it was really nice this time. We had our one drive for 5 hours and he drove were we wanted to go.

The ruins are great and it's good not to have so munch people around :D

One of the highlights so far was riding on an elephant. 

My buddy and I decided to respect the budda. They explained us everything and we tried it. Was kind of cool.

At the evening we went to the redlight district. Some time it's really difficult to say if she is really a woman ;)

After these two great days the continue traveling and I will change my room to a bed in a 8 people DOM. Backpacking is starting now :D
When I got there I got in a totally different mode, time to relax a bit and talking to lots of great people form America, Britain France, Spain and of course some German. We discussed the world :D amazing!

Once we went to a local bar, we listened a singer and meet her it was really cool.

Khoa san road is crazy. All around people who celebrate and enjoy their live. It is a bit touristic, but it belongs to Bangkok so party ;)

The rest of the days I try to figure out my next place to go, was walking around to get some information. In the end I got a very good tip from Sophie (owner of the hostel). I will go on a trip to the Erawan national park for two days. Afterwards I will go to koa tao for a diving course.
First time I did my laundry, it looks alright.

So this is enough so far.
