Thailand
So now I’m in Thailand to have some sun, civilazation, nice food and beautiful scenery. After Burma, Thailand is a culture shock for me as here is a Tesco supermarket, people speak English, you can have English breakfast, buy almost everything you need and there are Seven – Elevens (Tesco Express) on every street corner. It’s difficult for the Thai population to win a place in my heart at the moment after my Burma experience. Here they are used to tourists and know how to make money out of them so that’s a big difference with the Burmese population.
After a couple of nights in Ao Nang Beach a kind of Lloret the Mar on the Thai Westcoast I’m now staying in a more Bohemian, Backpackers style Island called Tonsai Beach. Only access is by long-tail boats so it’s very quiet here and the island is a place for climbers and divers. Later this week I will do my Open Water Diving course here too.
Also later this week the Dutch Brangelina will finish their joint journey as Brad is going back to The Netherlands and Angelina?? Well you will hear a lot more from here if you keep on reading her blog.

Wow, what amazing pictures! Good to see some visuals - as you did in your last blog, too, as I know the Internet access was slow and intermittent in Burma. What is that amazing dish you're having in the first picture? And I hope that's a crab at the top rather than a rather fierce-looking bap! This isn't the beach that was used in the film The Beach, was it?
