KHAO YAI - HAT YAI, casncelled flights, noisy busses and boring cities
Set the alarmclock early...it looks like working again :-) We had to take a shuttle to the busstation, again a localbus but not a relaxing one. We got some free food and water, but there was a Thai soap playing so loud on the TV screen. And no soaps like in Holland, believe me... it should be hylarious for Thai but we couldn't understand a thing. The bus dropped us at the old Dong Muang Airport of Bangkok, but the bastard let us walk wit al our stuff for more that 1km, he shpould have dropped us at the entrance. Next they told us the flight to Hat Yai was cancelled because of technical problems...hell yeah, what's next? So just say you want your money back and then the put you on another flight that was already boarding and should leave in 5 minutes...so hurry up. The airport controls in Bangkok are not like in Europe...I just took loads of liquids and drinks in my back while it was not allowed, even visitation sucks :-) Finally we were in the air, got some snacks and my buddy and I were seperaded in the airplane. One Thai woman was so happy to sit next to me, she just gave me al kinds of gifts (food).
Arrived in Hat Yai, big city, known for the terrorrist attacks, violence en riots from the last few years. Thousands of people got killed here. Also Lonely Planet from 2007 advised us to avoid this area. Why did we choose this place?? Well I still don't know... We took a limousine (it was just a minivan) and this driver was pretty fucked up, maybe he should look for another job? Got tho a crappy hostel called Cathay Geusthouse in the middle of the shopping center. Cheap and looked like a horrorhostel :-) Did some shopping and decided to leave this place as soon as possible. We arranged some bus and speedboattickets to Koh Lipeh. Stuart wanted to buy a small notebook but don't expect that you can buy these things in Thailand in normal shopping areas.
No special evening this time, weird people in the guesthouse, no good atmosphere at all...sorry guys for telling you this story ;-)
