Koh Phangan.

Hello our dear friends! I am so sorry you have needed to wait for this last blog update! Nothing too spectacular happened during our last days at Koh Phangan so there was nothing too much to report in the blog. And as soon as we arrived home we have been busy with normal everyday life again. But now it is time to do some reminicing.

We spent the last couple of days of our trip just chilling at Thong Nai Pan Noi and enjoying the sun. Although the trip had been great, we were also looking forward to coming home to our friends and family. And the fact is that we had travelled enough and we had seen/done all those things we wanted to so it was about the time to go back home to Finland.

Our trip back home has been probably one of the smoothest ones ever. Flights were on time and we were very lucky to get a ride to Jyväskylä from Joni's aunty! The amount of snow we encountered when we arrived, oh my!

Our trip to Thailand went really well. We did not lose anything and I broke only one Nokia's mobile phone charger. And we both stayed quite healthy, no food poisonings or anything although we were not over carefull about what we had to eat.

Thailand is a wonderful country. The people are extremely friendly, travelling inside Thailand is relatively simple and safe, food is great, scenery is amazing and there is a lot of different kinds of activities you can attend if you are interested in doing something else than just sunbathing. Thailand is surprisinly organized in terms of public services and public transportation, but they do not stress over a train being late for more than 8 hours.

Our original budget was supposed to be 1500€ per person for the whole trip (including flights) but we were not able to meet this plan of ours. We ended up spending 2000€ per person which means a daily budget of roughly 28€/a day. This includes accomodation, meals, traveling inside Thailand, entrance fees, shopping, souveniers and party. Pretty well I would say.

Would we like to travel to Thailand again? We were actually planning on it already when we were still in Thailand... :)
