Laziness in Thailand

After trekking in Himalaya it was time for some rest so here we are in Thailand!!!
First couple of days we were sightseeing in Bangkok. We were lucky as the King had it's birthday so we had the chance to see how it is beeing celebrated. For the first time we saw lampions that you lit and the hot air makes them fly. So there were thousands of these lampions in the sky lighting in red. It was amazing! That night we thought we have to eat something special. So Salvatore was tasting grilled worms- according to him it tastes like zucchini. I wasn't so convinced so I was enjoying some local fruits like mangosteen and cashew apple.
Then it was a long journey to Koh Samui,one of Thai islands. So, 12 hours in the bus, 2 hours waiting for shuttle bus to the boat, 1 hour in the bus again and at the end 2 hours on the boat. In total 17 hours of the journey just to find out that Koh Samui is under water ;( It was pooring with rain so heavily that we didn't want to leave the boat. We just wanted to come back. At the end tiredness took over and we were just thinking about comfortable bed.
When we woke up it was still raining and the following day it was raining ;( So, to sink our sorrows we went for a ... Thai massage. It was spectacular!!! What is more it finally stopped raining! So Salvatore could start making first pictures to the sunset.
Now, everyday we are just laying on the loveley Thai beaches taking some Sun. Well, we are not so extremely lazy and we do some sightseeing ... on a motorbike :))
