After days of discussion and planning we decided, we go to visit the famous triptych of islands south of the Gulf of Thailand, was initially not in my program, but considering the costs incurred in the past two days I think it is feasible, so why not? And then Daniel has booked a plane to Ko Samui, its initial stage of vacation, then we move from Ban Krut to Chumphon and from there take the ferry that will take us first to Ko Pha Ngan and then to Ko Samui.
The train leaves at midnight and we have to leave the gh before lunch, all afternoon walking around without a bike is heavy but objectively Daniela has one of his brilliant releases, we go against one of the coolest resorts sea \u200b\u200bview with the pool totally deserted, she comes in, with Parlotti recepionists a bit 'basite and calls me, all staff in a meeting, and the few tourists out, we can stay here because we want to have the bathrooms and showers ... done pulping free swimming pool with deck chairs and anything else just for us and all free ... great, I manipulate people with the mind J .
At dinner time we meet by chance in a Thai woman very nice and we spend the evening with her incredibly familiar with Martin and Lilly, so we spend all evening listening to his stories, practically gossip (among other things, tells us that we believe we have a power), between foreigners and Thai women , friendly and a little 'Mattarella to be honest but good, so that it runs about all night in the car to the station. the salute and take the train, we arrived at 5 and 8 are on the ferry to the islands.
The first we encounter is Ko Tao, the youngest, is not part of our itinerary, but the mere sight of the boat is amazing, crystal clear water and wonderful vegetation, paradise for snorkeling.
We arrived in Ko Pha Ngan, famous for the full moon party, which we obviously do not care, and we do take from that kind of taxi to Laem son, a town on the coast opposed to the more touristy.
We are always here thanks to the instructions of Julien and other French boys known to BK, we did well.
As expected we seized a motorcycle and immediately begin to turn the island.
Well, just out of our "base", including the ups and downs steep hills of the road, we are astonished.
The show is beautiful and we begin to explore all the beaches until the end of the road, northwest of the island.
There are many hotels and resorts but many beautiful beaches with turquoise seas and breathtaking views, especially at sunset.
The sea here is great but the only "new" are the corals.
excellent for snorkelers, but not for those who want to enjoy total freedom in the sea, starting on the shore and are quite "Uncomfortable", they are also home to those curious and slimy life forms called by Daniela slugs, snails as big as mushy sausages, black, brown or gray, faithfully translated by me, in contemporary Italian seafood str ... J . Fortunately at the end of the road, in the sense that it ends up really steep and without signals, we find a great bay, coral bay , get there by a curious resort that instead of dogs and Cats have a pig-in-waiting gray giant that roams the perimeter, including cooking, the owner practically beautiful.
Near the beach some bungalows hidden among the trees and very few people, our goal will be virtually fixed in the following days at sea.
The mornings we spend exploring the island in all possible directions from the streets, cut the island from north to south through even for the water falls and isolated places, but unfortunately also one of the residences of the elephants used for tours in the jungle.
Entertainment unedifying but also difficult to judge as it seems, were brought here long ago to help in the fields and now with the advent progress and their sudden inactivity, are relegated to the transport-tourists, as in freedom overwhelm and destroy all the fields on the island. Sure is hard to find a permanent solution, as expensive to tell the truth, let alone judge, but to see them chained to trees while giving head is not nice at all ...
One morning we were also to visit the beach where you hold the full moon party fantamitico , and what about?
To get to the beach need to cross the concrete buildings, go through virtually jumble monstrosity of expanding the beach and the water not to say they're beautiful (despite everything !!!), shame that overwhelmed by the kiosks of alcoholic beverages with their "quaint" and written from the noisy motion water show ... bad day and I dare not imagine the night, I find it disgusting that way reduce such a naturally beautiful ... mah!
us leave hat rin retracing the amazing road, threatening to tell the truth, especially as many foreign kid who has never ridden a bike, there are curves and slopes creepy, unseen, in Unlike the boys wrapped and on crutches outside the premises ... be careful!
As we head towards our bay we stop at a kiosk for lunch, but food disappointing surprise guaranteed.
The lady is fond of animals as well as dogs, cats, rabbits, giant etc. .. There too, a baby gibbon, a foundling sweet and affectionate with lots of diaper J .
Certainly the chain around her neck when we showed it has a little 'nervous, but then showed us the room where he keeps it entirely to him, and explained that being close to the street when the exits must necessarily bind to the avoid being hit.
Turn to this island was enlightening, I thought it was the usual tourist site but it is not, is a pleasant and relaxing place for those who have time, desire to run outside and see the canonical routes.
also will remain in my memory thanks to Fabrizio, who lives in that of Romagna Ban Lam Chalok , where 10 years ago opened a small Italian restaurant near the sea really nice, runs with his wife thai and their two young daughters, who speak Romagna!
Incredible hear their accent and look at their faces, beautiful.
And for the first time in more than seven months I allowed myself a lunch Italic, fettuccine (pulled by hand at the moment) and gnocchi with ragout . ... Certainly nothing to do with those or Zelia the Pallottine Nerina ... but I had too much pollution!!
Andrea, Ko Pha Ngan
