På Thailandsk maner!
Turen fra Amphawa til Hua Hin var noget af en oplevelse. Jeg kom op til en busstation, som bestod af et telt. Hun spurgte hvor jeg skulle hen og jeg sagde Hua Hin, hvorefter jeg fik et svar jeg ikke helt forstod. Men så kom der en lokal bus som hun satte mig på, og uden viden om hvor den ville tage mig hen, tog jeg med den. Jeg var simpelthen bare nødt til at stole på at de sendte mig det rigtige sted hen. Ved Hovedvejen/Motorvejen blev jeg sat af bussen, hvor jeg fik at vide, at jeg bare skulle krydse vejen, noget der normalt ikke ville falde mig ind at turde. Men det er helt naturligt for dem. Der var heldigvis en mand, der ville hjælpe mig over den store traffikkerede vej, da han så hvor fortvivlet jeg så ud. Det ville jeg aldrig turde derhjemme, egentlig heller ikke her, men det var jeg jo nødt til. Så var der ikke andet end at krydse de første 3 spor og derefter de næste 3 spor. Det gik da, men jeg tænkte da, om jeg nogensinde kom over, så trafikeret den var. Men på den anden side var der en minibus til Hua Hin, og den tog jeg så med.
Afslapning ja, men puuuha det er varmt..
Hua Hin er noget anderledes end Bangkok, lidt mere stille og der er lidt resort over stedet. Stranden var ikke langt fra, og med en overnatning i Tong-Mee house, havde jeg stor mulighed for afslapning. Skønt! Lige hvad jeg trængte til. Varmen har dog næsten ikke været til at holde ud, selv i skyggen. Air-con og vinden ude ved stranden var dog en hjælp :) Det blev til en overnatning, og hvis jeg var afsted med en anden, var jeg sikkert blevet, men det bliver lidt ensomt i længden, for det er ikke det store Backpacker sted.
Lige nu sidder jeg så og venter på min bus, der går kl. 23.45 (skal være der 23), og så går turen ellers til Koh Tao, hvor jeg gerne skulle befinde mig de næste par dage!.

The translator ;) The trip from Amphawa to Hua Hin was an experience in itself. I arrived at a bus-station that just comprised of a tent. The woman asked where I was going and I told her I was going to Hua Hin after which she said something I just couldn’t understand. But a local bus arrived and she made sure I got on it, and without being sure of where it was going to take me, I went along with it. I had to trust that she had put me on the right bus. I was dropped off at the main road/motorway where I was told to cross the road, something I would normally not dare (it was busy)!! But its like a walk in the park for them. Luckily there was a gentlemen who took me by the arm and helped me across when he saw me looking somewhat bewildered. I would never have dared back home, and actually not here either, but I had to. So I had to cross the first 3 lanes, and then the next 3 lanes. I did wonder if I would ever make it over, it was that busy! But on the other side there was a minibus to Hua Hin, and I took it. Relaxation – yes – but wow its hot! Hua Hin is somewhat different to Bangkok, a little more relaxed and a bit holiday resort-ish. The beach wasn’t far from where I was staying overnight (Tong-Mee guesthouse) and there was plenty of opportunity to relax. Lovely! Just what I needed. The heat has been almost unbearable, even in the shade. Air-conditioning and the breeze down by the sea has been a big help. I just had one night here. If I had been travelling with a friend, we would probably have spent a couple of days here, but it would be a bit lonely without because it isn’t a big Backpacker area. Right now I am sitting waiting for my bus, that leaves at 11:45pm (have to be there at 11pm) and I will be travelling to Koh Tao, where I will be staying for the next few days!
