We left Koh Samui our sweet home All good things come to the end

While being to Samui I regreted that we have planned to spend four days in Bangkok. And I was right It’s too much for the mind, accustomed to a steady life on the island.

Bangkok reminds me a boiling pot with strange guck. It’s hot, stuffy and stinks. Huge skyscrapers coexist with dilapidated shack. On the streets there is dirt, huge cockroaches and rats are running. On the roads there is a continuous stream of cars and motorbikes, do not dry out even at night. Smog over the city is visible to the naked eye.

In general, Elena is crying for Samui, Alex is crying for Nilokaev, I don’t care, I have an ear pain, so I take antibiotics and pain relief medicines and ear drops.

For the future, you just have to remember that you should go to Bangkok at the beginning of the trip. There are great prices and it’s the only thing that somehow justifies this visit. Before you go on a trip to Thailand, you can call in to Bangkok and buy some things, everything here is 50% cheaper.

We were lucky to book Bangkok City Hotel at agoda, the hotel is very good, I’ll write about it later.

Small report about visited places.
We went to Khaosan Road

MBK shopping mall

Siam Paragon- there we visited Siam Ocean World (I’ll write a post about it)

Pantip Plaza (Computer city)

China Town

But before going do not visit Bangkok This is just a killer for your psyche.
When quiet and amazing air of the islands changes to Bangkok pudding of eateris’ odors, standing right on the roadside, and the scent of exhaust gases, you just want to howl and change tickets for an earlier date.

We had also been to Pratunam market, it’s not interesting there. Tomorrow we’ll visit several temples and the Grand Palace and then we’ll come back home. We leave at 3 a.m. See you soon.

P.S. A huge hello to our islanders! It’s hard to part with you, because thanks to you, our life on Koh Samui was so enjoyable. We love you very much and look forward to next meet!

We are leaving soon Personally, I have missed my homeland, increasingly want to go home, I would like to see parents and friends, too. My son from time to time asks when he will go for a walk with his grandmother)) But my wife does not want to come back home She loves to live here.

In Our everyday life in Samui and Everyday life in Samui-2 one can read how it have been when we just have arrived to Samui.

We try to go to the beach more often sunbathing and swimming. But when there are waves and the water is cloudy, we go to the swimming pool at the hotel located near the sea. Pool is excellent, with jacuzzi, etc.

Recently, at night it was the attack of some flying insects, reminded Stephen King novel “The Dark Half” ))) But our geckos were happy, blissfully overeat.

The life is well underway, every day is like the previous one, and I such a stability makes me feel oppressed. Again, I want something new. Soon we go to Bangkok And then go home.

Specially for Max, the most cute massage girl, to my taste, of course

I’m full of emotions

We were searching for karaoke in Samui for a long time. Lena wanted to sing. But we couldn’t find anything. But today we at last found this.
The whole evening my beloved wife was shining and wallowing in glory. The staff called the owner of this bar and he came with flowers. It was a sensation.
The local musician took his guitar and went away.
We were waiting for the job offer
I enjoyed the evening and made only several videos.

Grigoriy Leps- Labyrinth.

Venus – Bananarama

Je t’aime – Lara Fabian

The bar itself is mostly for Thai people. It is situated not far from Lamai Fresh Food market if to go to the beach the first turn left. It’s heard in the evening. The musical equipment is good, as well as prices, to sing is for free.

Given the fact that people are often interested in prices to purchase houses in Thailand, I decided to make this post.
So, the price is quite adequate. Especially if we compare with our prices

There are many houses and land for sale, of course this is not the first line of the sea, but one do not have to go far in the jungle A lot of ads for the business premises, usually on the second floor there are living rooms.

Property prices in Thailand are quite different, depending on the part of the country.
For example, in Phuket everything is very expensive, a house with a swimming pool will cost from 5 million baht ($ 170,000). And then, one must search well, we are talking about Kata Beach.
In Pattaya, prices are much lower, probably offers more than enough where a decent house will cost from 3 million baht ($ 100,000).
Koh Samui offers less, but the prices are similar to Pattaya. But do not forget that in Pattaya the sea is very bad.
Just remember, the houses here are selling fully ready for occupancy, do not need repairs, you can simply select the location, design, furniture and settle

Just a large number of small rooms are sold, you will not find them on the websites, people just hang a sign with a telephone number and price. Recently, by the way, the premise was sold not far from our house, the European have bought it and made a small bar there. The price was 120,000 baht ($ 4,000).

Enough people give ads in local newspapers, I came across a very decent options. For example for 750,000 baht ($ 25,000) a large bar on the main street with living rooms above it is sold. Buy, live and work:)

By the way, here they build quickly, I do not know why, probably due to the fact that the heat insulation is not necessary, or maybe just got a good superintendent. But the apartment building, on the way to kindergarten, is already finished. And when we arrived, they were digging the foundation.

There is one BUT

The Kingdom of Thailand Legislation allows foreign nationals become owners of property, but without the right to land ownership. In Thailand formally the residents can not own the land.

Thai people understand that Europeans would buy everything for such nice prices.
People invent something, find different variants But it’s not legal, one must realize that can lose both money and property.)

To buy or not to buy everyone decides for himself But you must admit, the offers are tempting

The next morning we woke up at 9:00 with the excellent state of health, despite all the buckets, which we drank yesterday, we wanted to find out where on that island paradise a real beach paradise is.

We decided to go north of the island in the area Chaloklum on the beach Malibu. There were too much rave reviews about this place)

They drove for a long time, the roads at Phangan are horrible, just some kind of roller coaster, cover slipped down to the cliffs here and there, in general, it was not much fun. But when we walked along the path through the trees and saw the Malibu, we just could not believeв the eyes! The crystal clear sea, white, soft sand like flour, fanciful trees … The beach, which we have not ever seen!

It’s just heaven on earth

In a small bar on the beach Bob Marley softly sings about Everything’s gonna be all right … And you know, old Bobby was right, everything is great!

We had a lot of time, the taxi driver had promised to come back for us at 4 p.m., to take us to the pier. We settled down in the shade of the trees, drinking beer, swimming, sunbathing and simply went mad. That was real Sanuk amd Sabai)))

Feeling unreal happiness, peace and paradise of pleasure, here’s what we experienced on the beach Malibu.
At 5-30, we pushed off from the island, and I threw a coin into the water to come back there again …

Phangan, I will not tell you “Goodbye”, I say “La kon. Ch’an rak khun.”

We have little time rest to enjoy our nice life at Koh Samui (don’t want to come back home). So we decided to visit Koh Phangan nearby on weekend. It’s situated 15 km north from Samui. We heard that it’s not a place for having rest with childrenm so we left Alex with our friends. And also it was my birthday, so we decided to celebrate it at Phangan.

It’s very easy to get to Koh Phangan. There lots of piers at Samui, from which the boats, seatrans and catmarans go to Phangan. We bought tickets at the seatran and at 6-30 a.m. the bus picked us to get to Bophut pier. The way took about 40 minutes and at last we greeted Phangan.

We’ve decided to stay at Haad Rin beach because here are the most number of discos, bars and parties. We booked Drop In Club hotel, but it appeared awful. But still we were not upset, ’cause we came not to spend time in the room but to party and have fun.

We left our things in the room and went for a walk. There were not many people on the streets, many shops and bars were closed that time, because there most people live nightlife.

At pier we caught the boatman and asked to take us to some beautiful beaches. He showed a map and several beaches to choose from. We decided to go to Haad Young, that on the eastern coast Phangan. Floated for about 30 minutes, during which time a couple of times were ready to say goodbye to life, the boat nearly collapsed, but all ended well and we landed on the shore.

Very nice beach picturesque with a restaurant on the beach. Though the waves were, but the water was clean. We sat on the beds, bought a beer and started in every way to relax and make plans for the evening. Somewhere from the depths of the beach the sound of music was heard, so jauntily, dance, in broad daylight (12 hours it was). By passing girl said that there was after-party, people could not stop hanging out))) Just what we need – we go there

In the depths of the beach there are two bars, a dance floor between them and at noon in the heat a lot of people out there dancing, drinking and otherwise come off. And from the look of some friends, really party from yesterday!))) It was so cool that we too could not resist and dance for an hour. Music great, either house, whether trance, whether drum & bass, winds at the time!

At 4:00 we returned to Haad Rin, slept for a couple of hours , we left at 6 am to Koh Samui and we had all night before us))) came for dinner at the cafe and went to wander along the beach. Usually the parties began not earlier than 9.10 pm, so we just went to the shops, were watching how people made tattoos and just watching people. We have come to Fubar- a great place where you can lie on the soft cushions and listen to music.

Time passed, and we did not find any serious partying. In one of the streets we were approached by a taxi driver and asked us to get us on the Shiva Moon Party, like, cool party. Well, let it be Shiva Moon, Well, we wanted to party. We drove, drove, and then the taxi turned off the main road and took us somewhere in the jungle. Darkness, only torches lit along the road, pointing the way to the Shiva Moon. We arrived, paid the entrance fee and went to the sound. The picture, which we opened, would be an excellent backdrop to some apocalyptic movie about aliens. Jungle of palm trees, people dancing around the bars, all decorated with fluorescent scenery, portraits of Shiva and Ganesh, illuminated banana palm trees and unreal music!

We took for bucket, a bucket with ice, where they add alcohol, energy drink, and soda to choose from, and came on! Danced so much that really drived us crazy) The atmosphere is just unreal!
Three hours, we hang out there, and then decided to change the situation. Caught a taxi driver and told to drive to Ananatha. Also a great place, nice atmosphere, lounge area and have soft grassy lawns), but too many people. Normally in the crowd it is unreal to move. We drank a cocktail and went back to Haad Rin.
The whole beach turned into one big party! We bought more buckets and went dancing here and there.)))

About 3 a/m/ we went home. I was singing “I’m feeling good”very loudly)))

In the room we just fell on the bed and passed out. And the next day we discovered Phangan with a completely different side) But this is a subject of the next post)
