Thailand 2006

Spring

First I visited Bangkok.

Then I took the train to Chumporn form where I got a boat to Koh Tao, an island popular with divers. I was not enthralled by the island as it seemed to be overrun with foreigners, so most of the food was too tame for my taste. One night there was a party nearby with fire dancing, which was fun. After some time on the island I returned to Chumporn before returning to Japan and investigated the local food.

December

I stopped at Trat on my way to Cambodia. It has an interesting market. While I was there, a fair was being held. That is where I saw the dancers, who looked like dolls, and the daredevil on a bike.
