Arrived in Chang Rei, Thailand. In the north of Thailand. In the very north. Me and 7 "strangers"... Cool people from Paris, most of them with magrebian background. 6 boys and 1 girl. We took a Taxi from the airport to the busstation and there we fellow the hint from my travel book: "Just stay there with your big back pack and look stupid and helpless... It will take les than 5 minuts and you have an accomodation." Well. it tooks less than 30 seconds and the Tuk Tuk drivers come to us with prospects, offering us good rooms for cheap money. So we found our guesthouse - after we walked 30 min in the wrong direction... with 20kg backpacks and 37 degrees.
The place was great. first thing, after inspecting the rooms: jump in the pool! Than, we organized a 3 day trekk. Here, I copuld see, the arabians, they are really masters in bargaining. Poor Kim, who was our negotiation partner. We gave him a very hard time.
In the eveing, we went to a streetfestival. It seems in Chang Rei, there are not that many tourists. We met 2 other french guys, but this was. All others were Thais, singing, daning and having fun. We learned some of the traditional dances (Audrey changed it to a makarena) and have had our first expiriences with Thai food. new mussles. Even the other were suspective, I ate them (without any problems the days after). Our guys were brave and eat a bench of different bucks, we found new fruits which were delicious and very sweet and strange fanta tasted. Than a absolut heavy rain started and all was suddently over. We waited some minuts unter one of the umbrellas of the sellers, but after 20 minuts, it did not get better. So we started our way home by walking. This monsum was getting more and more heavy, somewhen, a kind police man picked us up and dropped us off at our guesthouse. Wounderful!
On the last 2 meters, me, the lucky one slipped and felt on the floor. my hand and my hips were very hurting. nothing serious, but I have had a hand-biiiiiiiiiiig dark blue for the rest of the holidays.
