Lak, happy man
On the way, we stopped in the jungle and hired a guide to see a cave known as the “tiger cave”. Lak, explained that few years ago a tiger was still living here and showed us some formations in the rock which was an hypothetical proof of the presence of the feline…

It is time…
Time to take the little bit of courage that I have in my hands and finally rent a scooter.
Breaking the spell
On the 31st of December 2014, one year ago exactly, a Scottish church rang midnight and the bagpipes in the stadium I was standing in began playing the goodbye song. Fireworks were illuminating the sky and my cold smoky breath was blurring the stars behind my partner’s head as I looked up at him. As much as Scotland can be cold on a 31st of December, my heart was burning with love and hope for the new year to come.

Last Day
I left the really nice and arty PaK Up hostel in Krabi, to Koh Lanta.
It’s the last day of the year and all the hostels, guesthouses or hamacs on the beach are full when we arrive on the island. With Alexia, a French girl met in the van, we do a two hours walk in search of a bungalow who will costs us less than an arm to spend the night in.
Koh Lanta however looks calm. Quiet. Empty.
Little way to Cambodia
The day before, I tried to book a ticket to Cambodia for the next morning but no company would let me do it. They all said it was full and it was pretty expensive in the end. I just slept on the idea that I will find a solution… Later.

This is a big thing in the north and specially in Chiang Mai but I didn’t want to come back to the north before going to Cambodia. I’ve heard that Koh Chang was also celebrating it that’s all I needed to book my ticket to go there. A beach, the jungle, monkeys and elephants and a light festival? Let’s go!

But I was happy to see you again. Well, for a short amount of time…

Ayutthaya
A bit confused, I arrived at the train station at 3am. It was already hot. Maybe it just never stopped to be hot in the end…
I sat down on a bench, not really sure about what I was thinking about when I took that cheap ticket to come here. I was a lonely girl with all her belongings with her in a place where she was not supposed to be. I didn’t felt really in danger as there is always policemen and monks around in a train station but… Rule number one, never stay too long around a train station at night, anywhere in the world. Ah nah, that’s rule number two sorry. The first one is: “Don’t come back with a child”.
