Other Asia

The border crossing at Koh Kong is a lot more modern than the hut and the wooden boom gate between Laos and Cambodia. Before we can leave the country we have to pose in front of a camera and our passports are scanned. Thailand lies in front of us and we see some differences straight away. There are many traffic signs and stripes on the road, there are signs for touristy attractions and in front of every house there is a beautiful yellow garbage bin. There are a lot of supermarkets and money comes out of the ATM’s just on the side of the road.

Thailand is not everything

After a week in Bangkok we are heading to the south. Here we hope to find the white beaches and the friendly Thai, who are always named in the travel guides. To reach the south we first have to conquer all the traffic. With our loaded bicycles we cycle from one traffic light to the next one. We are surrounded by smelling bikes, noisy cars and slow trucks. The roads are busy, but there is still enough space for our tires to move around. To cycle out of Bangkok is an ugly challenge and it doesn’t leave a very nice impression of this city.

Singing in the rain

Along the coast of the Andaman Sea we cycle to the South of Thailand. It’s a beautiful green part of the country and it’s getting greener everyday. Normally the months March and April are the hottest and the driest months of the year. The Thai people are looking a bit confused when the blue sky turns into a dark one. And it doesn’t stay like this on the day we leave Ranong.....large big drops are coming down on the grey tarmac, on our bicycles and on our heads. We try to find a shelter under a straw roof, but it doesn’t stop raining.
