Koh Chang 13 -16 February

Koh Chang era justo lo que necesitabamos para recuperarnos totalmente del retiro, era tan bueno que nos encontramos con un monton de excompaneros espirituales. Intencionalmente nos encontramos con mis hermanos del alma Richy Aleman y Loic Frances y compartimos una memorable fiesta escolar de san valentin.


Koh Chang was just the place to fully recover from the retreat, even so that we ran into a whole bunch of espiritual expartners. We intentionaly met up with my soul brothers Richy German and Loic French and shared a really good valenties day school party evening together.

Ranong 11-13 February

Solo liberarnos del retiro nos fuimos directos hacia Ranong para renovar nuestro visado tailandes. Cruzamos a Myanmar durante unas horas y resucitamos nuestros sentidos con manjares, alcohol y cigarrillos!

Straight out of the retreat we headed to Ranong to renew our Thailand Visa. We crossed to Myanmar for some hours and recovered our senses with some meat, beer and cigarretes!

Suanmmok

Retiro budista en Suanmmok 31 Enero a 11 Febrero
Siri y yo nos metimos a monjes durante 10 dias. Nos levantamos a las 4 de la manana, comimos 2 veces al dia, meditamos 6 horas cada dia y no hablamos ni un minuto (bueno... algo si que dijimos...). No se si nos a cambiado la vida... pero si nos a dado una nueva prespectiva de entrender muchas cosas, sobretodo lo que estamos viendo aqui. No puedo olbidarme de mis companeros espirituales Richy y Loic.

Buddhist retreat in Suanmmok 31st January to 11th February
Siri and I tried the monk life for 10 straight days. We woke up at 4am, ate twice a day, meditated 6hours a day and didn't speak a word (well... we did say somethings...). I don't know if it changed our lifes but it sure gave us a new prespective to understand somethings, especially what we are seeing here. I couldn't forget about my spiritual partners Richy and Loic.

Kho Phi Phi - 28-30 Enero

Kho Phi Phi fue la isla mas turistica que visitamos, de hecho es la isla mas turistica de Tailandia. Por suerte conseguimos encontrar una playa paradisiaca desierta de farang (guiris en thai) y disfrutamos de un chapuzon "casi" solos... hasta que aparecio una escuela de ninos thai con los que juge y perdi a futbol y tube que hacer 20 flexiones... aprovechamos las comodidades occidentales comiendo un pizza impresionante y vimos a estupidos turistas peleandose en thai boxing para ganar una bebida! (es la atraccion principal de uno de los bares...)

Kho Phi Phi was the most touristy island we went to, actually it's the most touristy of Thailand. Luckly we found a paradise beach free of farang (greengos in thai) and we enjoyed a quite swim... until some thai school kids show up, played and beat me in football and made me do 20 pushups... we took advantaje of the western comodities and had an amazing pizza, and watching stupid tourists fighting thai boxing style over some drinks (it was a bars main atraction!)

Railay 24-28 Enero

Relajarse en la playa, haciendo alguna que otra actividad, piragua y escalada, compartiendo cervecitas con otros mochileros... la vida es simplemente sencilla en Railay!

Chilling out by the beach, doing some outdoors activities, kayaking and climbing, sharing drinks with some backpakers... life is just really easy in Railay!
