Hi Folks
Glooooorious street surface. Yeehaw. The Thais got it how to build nice skatefriendly roads. The contrast could not have been bigger. We left Cambodia through a huge national park area in Koh Kong, where we camped our last night. And had our last lifts in Cambodia, once in a minivan full of sweet potatoes, and once by two lovely American ladies who took us all the way to the border. And the exact moment we crossed the border to Thailand, the streetsurface became nice and smooth.
We took the chance, and ceremonialy opened the Thailand skate leg. That was two days ago. Since then we pushed through a modern looking country, with a lot of fish farming. And full of friendly people. And temples. Speaking of temples, that is where we spent our nights so far. As soon as the sun would start to drop, we would pick a nice looking temple and ask the monks if we can put up our tent at the edge of their land. So far we were cordially received and allowed to camp, with the very helpfull monks giving us a hand when putting up our tent. Or being totally stunned by our small pyrolysis woodstove. They liked how one can make a fire with only a few sticks. Judging from the amount of photographs they took and how carefully they studied it, I am almost certain that soon there will be pyrolysis woodstoves made in Thailand.
All in all we had some amazing first days here, let us see what this country has up its sleeve for us.
Cheers
