BANGKOK – CHUMPHON

The driver doesn’t speak a word in English though, so we decide it’s gonna be fun to communicate with him. From Bangkok we turn east and drive by the South China Sea shore. The speed is good and at 4PM we already are at an empty resort with no single visitor around. We haven’t been by the sea for last three moths, so the only thing we want to do right away is to jump in the water with all the clothes. By the way, South China Sea has also one of the dirtiest shores, so when swimming one has to maneuver among plastic bags, cardboard pieces and used condoms. Very soon we have to get out because something has bitten one of our friends so hard that his toe might need stitches. There are different versions of what “something” has been: a sharp stone or a mysterious fish or a simple crab. The doctors tend to think it was a crab and recommend us not to put our feet on the ground since we have stepped in the water: it is quite a usual occurrence here.
