When I was in Thailand I had the opportunity to see two very different sides of the country (and I know there are many more sides that I have yet to discover!). I saw the overcrowded and ever-moving capital. I took a taxi ride on the back of a scooter, got stuck in the overwhelming traffic and shopped at the huge weekend market. I even took a cycling tour (I am Dutch after all) through China town and other busy back alleys. A true avalanche of impressions. Later on I was at the small island and national park Koh Samet, where my friend Marina grew up. I spent my days learning how to dive, sun tanning, eating and taking walks. Very tranquil and relaxing. Both memorable and amazing experiences full of beauty. Here are some pictures to share some of this beauty, although the only way to really see it is to go there and see for yourself.
