Update

Okay, first of all, the country has changed and it didn't even take as long as I anticipated. We took the flight from Da Nang to Ho Chi Minh City after spending a few days in Hoi An. Vietnam was rainy and dark and people were pushy so at that state of tiredness we just wanted to get out of the country as quickly as possible. Luckily in this part of the world it is still possible just to fish for some last-minute deals and we got an AirAsia flight to Bangkok around five o'clock. We were joking around about going to Phuket the same evening but as the flight went on the idea started to feel more and more appealing. So rushing through the Bangkok Airport I managed to score two tickets to Phuket on the same evening and immediately after making sure that we had checked in on time I gave a call to Jasu in Pore (the restaurant with best service, food and drinks this side of the equator) and he promised to fix us a room in a nearby hotel. When has your bartender done the same for you?

We arrived in Phuket around ten and took a cab to his restaurant. There we were greeted with our room keys, cold Chang and he was also kind enough to prepare us some food so we were finally more than ready for bed around midnight.

The following day we rented some scooters, drove around different beaches (If in Phuket, check out Nai Harn beach - it's awesome) and toured different sights. Day after that was dedicated to culinary adventures and then we moved on to Koh Phi Phi. One night there was enough and the original idea was to carry on to Koh Lanta towards one particularily nice beach but as the last ferry had gone it was of no use but to stay. After finally arriving it was just pure beach life, not much more to tell. Sun, swimming, food, swimming, sun, swimming, food, beer, swimming, sun, food, beer, beer, beer...

Then we headed towards the notorious Khao Lak but I guess that is worth its own post. Currently in Phuket town, waiting for a bus to Bangkok. So the traveling part is slowly coming to an end for now but there will be Cambodia at least on the list some day before March. And should I see something worth mentioning, I might just give it a post.
