Part 5 - Koh Chang, last part

The boys are practicing with them probably wanting to be fishermen like their fathers:

I had the best Thai and oil massages of my life here:

The girls are good…. VERY nice ambience, clean, tidy, nice background music and the massage itself, brilliant. Never seen a masseuse do a ‘Wai’ towards the house altar before starting her work before, says a lot. The oil masseuse treated my hormone boost with a smile and professionally, of course not QUITE without supporting this a LITTLE. Of course no sex but very pleasant. In those days, Mum didn’t change my nappies any nicer either.

In the karaoke bar again: Somehow I managed to end up here all the time, a bite to eat, let them sing to me, sometimes I even took one of the girls along with me.

Of course not this one here because she was only 16…. She only served. Looked a bit strange on the pics with the mark on her nose but she was a sweet thing. When she was wearing her short skirt. Oh man, ‘your backside just made me dizzy ’…

Be back in a couple of years time, then she’ll be ready for it.

They don’t just have good Thai food here (Photo: Gaeng Massaman, a speciality with curry and potatoes from the south of the country), they also have air conditioning, yes; I really made the most of it. Eating hot and spicy in the heat, the soup would have run across my collar.

There are quite a few sea food restaurants down at the ferry docks; they are built on stilts in the sea, just the right thing for a romantic person such as myself.

Oh well, my time on the island has come to an end. I booked a flight from Trat (new airport) to Bangkok at the travel agents about 100 metres past the hotel and from Bangkok to Manila with Thai Airlines. I could have travelled by bus but this would have meant the loss of a whole day in Bangkok.

The mini bus picked me up from the hotel on time during the early morning.

We caught the ferry from here (all incl.) back to the mainland...

…the busses to Bangkok on the left, we took one on the right to Trat. The journey took about 20 minutes. By the way, everything is really easy to organise, one is able to purchase minibus tickets to any destination all over the island. They even ask where you want to go when down at the ferry, probably in the hope of selling one…

Trat airport is open air and reminds one of that at Koh Samui, well, it is run by the same company: Bangkok Airways. Trat is smaller, not all that much food on offer either.

The flight to Bangkok takes one hour.

As the plane glides over the Sukhumvit Road, I have already mentally considered the peaceful island holiday as a thing of the past and am thinking about all the possibilities and opportunities that Bangkok – the town of angels – has to offer, I even nearly got a bit melancholy.

I will only see the airport whilst in Bangkok, the connection flight is due. Only two things help me get over the fact that this time I will NOT be able to do all the things I have fun doing, things that can make ones skin burn and goose pimples appear from the roots of ones hair to the tips of ones toes.

First of all I have booked ‘one for the road’ in Bangkok for the last night of my travels meaning that I will be back soon.

The second thing is that my travels are taking me to my favourite destination when it comes to fun travels:

Angeles City. More in the next part.
