Koh Samed, not Koh Samui/蘇美島，不是蘇眉島

From Bangkok, Ekkamai bus terminal, took the bus to Koh Samed, estimated arrival time around 3.5 hours, 3.5 hours my ass, more like 5.5 hours, I've got the worst back pain ever on the bus. This is one of the experience you will only have once, second time you do it, it's not anymore funny.

Especially if there a German girl (no offense to Germans) on the bus talking on the phone for 4 hours straight, careless of the people trying to take a rest on the bus, with her big bold voice. Her phone has the best battery power and connection.

Anyways, this is the first time to Koh Samed. It was good, it was good.

This is a place where if you google "koh samed", you will have a guide to the famous local bar/restaurant - PLOY bar and RESTAURANT. They've got fire shows at night, how lucky we were to catch the full moon party that month, this is the happiness from the unexpected!

I think the local kids here, their dream is to become a fire dancer. So innocent and cute.

 And this is the local police training gym, very local, very useful, police very nice. I don't know what happens when there is a flood.

Well, and this is local services here.

And um, the bikini dress code here.

The mainland chinese refugee camp.

My British duck on Thailand soil.

A temple worshiping cocks, Bangcock style.

And always my favorite in Thailand, the dogs.

It was really worth it, despite the fact I had to take the same bus back because I had no choice and another back pain like hell. But the food...the people...the dog...the weird tourists...the locals....I love it.

台南 Tainan (台灣 台湾 Taiwan)

Quite peaceful, quite boring, quite beautiful, not quite convenient, no MRT, lots of scooters, lots of lesbians, food is everywhere, food is good and local, 90% of them speaks Taiwanese, tea shops everywhere, food is sweeter, papaya milk is so good and cheap.

Nice nature sides, still lots of tourists, still people thinking I'm a foreigner. Still people trying to rip me off.

Nice and kind Taiwanese, less selfish. No one cares about the traffic rules, if you park on the street for 20 minutes, the police won't come and give you a ticket. Quite a nice escape...

Well, for someone who lives in Taipei city.

Thank you Tainan.

Bangkok (Bangcock), encounter. / 再一次的曼谷邂逅

Following the last blog I wrote about my trip to Bangkok, I went to Thailand again, and I have something more I want to say about this amazingly wild and weirdly peaceful place. And thank god I'm finally willing to spend time sitting in front of the computer and writing this.
繼上一次去了曼谷寫了一篇 Bangcock, we meet again/ 嗨曼谷，我們又相見了，這次又來一篇要來講這個非常野放又異常寧靜的地方。感謝天感謝地我終於肯花時間坐在電腦面前打我的心得了。

This time I not only went to Bangkok, although there's always so much to discover just in BKK. I went to "Ayutthaya" and "Koh Samed" for the first time in my life.(no, not Koh Samui, it's Koh Samed or Samet) 
這一次我不止去了曼谷，我去了"大城"以及"蘇美島" (不，不是蘇眉島，是蘇美島)

So this one is about my lovely Bangkok, what are my discovery this time? As I said last time, there's always so much to discover in Bangkok. This time I believe I went deeper (or so I think) well, at least I stopped shopping and getting less cheated by people.
那這一篇我還是講我的曼谷吧，這次又發現了些什麼? 如我上次所說過的，曼谷總是有好多新事物會讓你發現，不管去幾次我都覺得依舊新奇。而我想我這次有更深入了 (或只有我自己這樣想)，但至少我沒有再亂買紀念品還有一直被騙了。

"The Corruption"

貪汙

They finally notice they are corrupted.  Well, it's a good start from taxis and tuk tuk...

他們終於發現他們貪污了。恩，其實從計程車跟嘟嘟車開始是不錯的選擇....

EXPERIENCE this time: As we were approaching the train station to buy a ticket to Ayutthaya, there were many people with ID badges on their neck saying "FREE INFORMATION". Free my ass, never listen to them, and don't even look curious(I know), just directly to the ticket booth, anything out of their mouth is "TOUR" price. That's Bangkok, bitches.

BUT!!!: There was a tuk tuk driver outside the train station, who I can never forget, I thought at first he was going to cheat again, but instead he only offered 20 baht to go around the place. No, I didn't heard wrong, and he was helpful. That's also Bangkok, bitches.

這次的經驗:  這次我們要去火車站買火車票去古城的時候，有很多人脖子上掛著證件寫著"免費資訊"。免你媽費，永遠不要聽他們講，也永遠不要表現出好奇的臉。

"The Monks"

和尚

Monks in Thailand are equal to the above, children, pregnant women, the old, they are priority. And the disable can just be disabled.

泰國的和尚等同於以下的老弱婦孺，優先權。然後殘障的可以去旁邊接鳥屎吃。

And monks have seats everywhere.

然後和尚到處都有位子坐。

Monks have seats on boat.

在船上也有位子。

I remember the first time I went to Bangkok, we had a tour guide explaining us about the monks.↓

我記得我第一次去泰國的時候，我們有個導遊跟我們講這些和尚的故事。

First time in Thailand, so fresh.

The Buddhist Monks can't touch money and are prohibited from associating with women. To the extent, women are not even allowed to hand a monk an offering. They must place it at his feet or hand it to a man to give to them.

Which also means we were not allowed to touch them. That's what the tour guide said. So we could only photo touch them. (?)

導遊說那些和尚不得碰觸到女人，甚至不得跟女人交流。所以我們也只能這樣用照片假裝戳戳他們。

"The Hard Working People"

努力工作的人們

Very hardworking.

非常賣力的在工作。

This one I'm not ironic, they are very very very hard working.

這個我不是在嘲諷，她們真的非常非常非常認真在工作。

Last picture is my favorite. The hotel staff was asking nicely the foreigner with the bathrobe to please move inside the hotel and enter the room with his two prostitute.

最後一張真的是我的愛。飯店工作人員非常有禮貌的請這位穿著浴袍的外國人與他兩位妓女進入他的房間。

"The Bus With All Indians"

滿車的印度人

This is no discovery, I just saw a bus with all Indians and it was quite interesting. No offense.

這不是什麼發現，我只是看到一整台巴士上面都是印度人然後滿有趣的。無冒犯之意。

Really, no offense.

真的，沒有冒犯之意。

Let's continue the other two chapters later, I've got a lower back pain already.

讓我晚點再完成其他兩篇吧，我的腰開始痛了。
