Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur is much nicer than its reputation. The Twin Towers are just fabulous - one of the most astonishing modern buildings. Different color from rosty to white dependant on the light and time of day.

Krabi: how aweful Thailand is

As there was only the very expensive way to take a boat / car taxi from my island to Krabi Airport where I booked a flight I decided to take the public boat which makes it necessary to stay a night in Krabi, a very touristic place.
Result: very nice journey but the place is just terrible. Get me out of this! Palma the Mallorca is paradise! I think Thailand is in most cases the most stupid location you can choose for holidays! Now it's holiday season in Thailand. Lots of Thais in "my" little island - here only English, Germans, Swiss, Dutch - you named it. No met one interesting girl and her friend from Hawaii. Need an international scuba diving trainer licence and here it's cheaper as in the US. Question to her: but isn't it a terrible place here. Answer: Yes it is, worse than the most touristic place in Hawaii.

The shame is that the beach itself would be very nice!

My little island Kho Hai

Having googled a lot the result was clear: This is the best island in Thailand:

* a couple of years ago only Thais and no touristic infrastructure

* best places for snorkeling around

* nice bamboo houses and very small

The result: This is MY island and I have a new hobby: snorkeling, just fantastic!

A these sunrises - ooo.

Bangkok: Amazing Temples

Bangkok: an awful city but interesting

It's not a city, it's a mass of skyscrapers, huts and in between streets and cars.
