But let's start slowly.
After witnessing the strange but aboslutely stunning sight of the glowing sea at night in Sihanoukville which really looked crazy when swimming we just relaxed with good seafood and got some scooters.

After the 'Boom Boom Orang-Utan Association' broke up Franz, Achim and myself took a bus to Koh Chang (or at least to the nearest port) back in Thailand we then took a 2hr ferry over the the island of Koh Chang. There we enjoyed beach life and a lot of beer (Archa, the cheapest one, with 19 Baht was our favorite). One day again we got some scooters and went swimming in a waterfall and drove to a big resort in the southern part of the island. We spent some time in the Sabay, the only real club around, and one of the shittiest I've ever seen as well, and relaxed.
After a couple of days there the guys wanted to do some diving and so we took a minibus to Bangkok airport and flew down to Phuket, the closest airport to Khao Lak. In the plane those damn soccer lunatics read about a match of the 'Whatever Suzuki 2008 Cup' - Thailand against Laos which was held that evening in Phuket. So we had to spend one night there and they went to see the match.
Next morning we were off in the local bus to Khao Lak.
There we checked out the prices for diving on the Similand Islands which are said to be one of the world's best scuba and snorkeling sites. I decided to do a open water diving license and it was really worth it - so man fish, turtles and even a manta ray and sharks have been spotted together with all sorts of snakes, octopus, clams and whatever you can imagine. The water was clearer than anything I've ever seen (30m view!) and living on the boat was amazing. Still it's not cheap and so Achim and Franz spent 3 days/2 nights there and I joined the one day later (since you have to go to the pool first) and stayed 2 days/1 night.

After diving we took a taxi (!wtf!) to Krabi where we did a one day boat tour to the amazing rock and island formations surrounded by jade green water and white beaches.

Achim then took the plane from Krabi to Bangkok and Franz went to Kolanta to do some more diving. I took the bus to BKK one day later.
I just traded (500Baht!!) the fake Vietnam lonely planet I found in the hostel in Phuket for an original Malaysia, Singapore & Brunei one.
I'm really sick of Thailand right now. Packed with sex tourists buying girlfriends for their holidays'n shit...
See you in Singapore!
(Gestern an der Bar nochn 65-jaehrigen Koelner Bauern getroffen, der Millionaer geworden is mit sein Land verkaufen - der war sowas von krass drauf! Zitat: "Masseusen sind die Besten, das kannst du mir glauben - ich komm schon 32 Jahre nach Thailand, ich hab so ziemlich alles gebummst was hier rumlaeuft." Danke fuer die Info... Ibo aus Rostock der schon ne Weile hier rumhaengt und schwarz als IT-Depp in Internetcafes arbeitet meint dazu: "Was der in den 6 Monaten die ich ihn kenn alles gevoegelt hat ist nicht normal, aber nur die Schoensten!" Is ja jedem sein eigenes Ding was er im Urlaub macht, aber wenn der ganze Tourismus hier halt darauf aufbaut verdirbts einem den Rest halt ein bisschen.)
