Stuck in Aranya Prathet
Helloooo all,
We are kind of stuck in Aranya Prathet. The last “city” before the border with Cambodia. There is actually no English speaking person in the whole town and we seem to be the only two tourists.
We decided that we should eat something and we had two personal waitresses and 3 barkeeper’s…
Tonight we are the only two people on the dancefloor…
We are going to dance in “Fusion” style…
Hope we reach Cambodia tomorrow.. For now it’s a quick beer maybe a dance and then a good sleep, don’t sleep though the alarm tomorrow and cross the border.
Hit or miss off to Cambodia
So… We slept through the alarm at 5:30
So now we are on the bus station waiting for the 12:00 which should take us to the Cambodian border, hopefully we can reach siem reap from there…
It’s a long shot but better than staying in Bangkok for another day!
Hopefully the next post is from Cambodia…

Certified for 30m, wreck- and nightdives
Yeey!!! I passed my “exam” so now I can go to 30m and visit wrecks and do night dives.
Currently I’m spending my valentines day waiting, sweating and wishing this trip to Bangkok is over soon!
Happy news is that I’m meeting Stephen in Bangkok tomorrow! Yeey! New travelbuddy!
Hopefully my battery will last until I’m safely at my hostel in Bangkok because I’m not exactly sure if I can find it without some dynamic map.
Update: 11:15
Wow… The ferry back to Chumporn is chillax today almost no swell nor wind. No splashing water in your face and the upper deck is open for business.
Goodbye Koh Tao…
I’m not looking forward to the bus ride but hey… I can’t complain you could also be working back in Holland 😉
— update 15 feb 9:00 ICT
I’ve slept through my alarm after the rough day of traveling so I missed my meet and greet with Stephen on the airport. But now we are going to meetup at MBK center. I’m already there after a packed skyrail ride, Stephen is stuck in Bangkok traffic. The center doesn’t open until 10:00 so that’s a bummer but I don’t expect my buddy to be here before that time… So time to relax and read a book 
Stephen was stuck in traffic but finally we got to meet.
Got a massage at MBK center and tonight its cinematic time (deadpool is the choice)
I also got my next vaccine shot today while Stephen was sleeping it off. Was pretty cheap (3100baht in total) and only took slightly over an hour.
Tomorrow the plan is to get the hell out of this dirty polluted city and go exploring in Cambodia!
