Les aventuriers de Ko Lanta

Click here for Koh Lanta's pics


Aventuriers, pas vraiment! Voila deja 5 jours que nous nous prelassons sur les plages paradisiaques de Ko Lanta. Nos baignades et cocktails sur la plage ne sont interrompus que par des virees a mobylette dans les villages avoisinants. Que dire de plus? Le bonheur ne se raconte pas...

We're relaxing on Mai Pai Beach, the most southern and isolated beach in Ko Lanta. It's quite an adventure to go there with the motorbike but definitely worth it! We're having such a great time that we find it impossible to leave: we gave it a try this morning, only to unpack our bags at the last minute and tell the hotel we will stay one more day.

Parenthese Thailandaise

Thailand


La Thailande, pays du sourire, mais aussi pays de la vie facile pour le voyageur! Partout ou le regard se pose, ce ne sont que salons de massages, magasins regorgeant de produits occidentaux, directions et panneaux d'affichage en anglais, et thailandais affables et accueillants.
Tout ici est delicieusement confortable, depuis les bus VIP jusqu'aux hotels entoures de luxuriants jardins, en passant par les immenses centres commerciaux climatises de Bangkok. C'est avec plaisir que nous nous abandonnons a cette parenthese thailandaise, mais l'espace de quelques jours seulement! car demain il sera deja temps de nous envoler pour Yangon. A suivre.

Our initial plan was to visit the Northern Hills of Thailand, ie. the cities and countryside north of Chiang Mai. However the difficulty to travel to Myanmar forced us to change the itinerary, and here we are in Bangkok, exhausted but happy after a day spent shopping in some of BBK's huge, air condiionned malls. Between the Lao border and Bangkok, we stopped at Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai and Sukhothai. In each of these places we saw dozens of beautiful temples or "Wat", with Sukhothai being the ultimate place for Wat lovers, as an ancient capital of Siam. Tonight we'll be savouring our last Tom Ka, Pad Thai and other Singha Beers, as we're flying tomorrow to Yangon... Another country, another world no doubt!

Bonus time! The Chilli Cooking Club

Amis gourmets, ces photos bonus vous sont dediees: elles retracent en images le cours de cuisine que nous avons suivi, l'espace d'une journee, a l'excellent Chilli Cooking Club de Chiang Mai.

Thailand is a great place to take a course in massages, meditation... or cooking. Of course we opted for the latter option, and we had so much fun that we decided to upload all the pics in a special, bonus photo album.
PS: people who live in London - we'll take bookings as soon as we are back for an authentic thai dinner at home ;)
