Prologue.?

I tried to write this story is not like others, travel notes, rather than stories. Its essence is likely to be understood by my friends and new acquaintances with whom I spent the holiday.?

begin with, that I planned this trip quite different. I wanted a break from everything and find yourself. Wanted to go to Southeast Asia for at least three weeks to visit Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. It turned out all wrong. There was no lone bungalow on the shore of a deserted beach at the water's edge. There was no thought looking at the disk of the sun drowning in the sea. There was no walks in the morning jungle. Was not what I planned. Maybe this is the best, who knows? Maybe the time to explain everything. One thing I can say for sure I do not regret how to spend those two weeks, which barely managed to wrest from the busy pace of life in Moscow.?

cooking.?

meet in this journey we began two months before departure about a month bought tickets for Turkmenistan Airlines. The ticket for the flight to Bangkok via Ashgabat worth $ 461. Tickets can be purchased in "Ilves Tour?

It so happened that our group eventually consisted of four people: Sergey (Japanis), George, Vladlen and I, Alex (mole). Sergei I met on the forum Vinskiy Sergei awd/bb/. George (Zhorik) and Vladlen (Vlad) my old friends. All except me are going to Thailand for the first time.?

George V to his departure was not ready for a passport, so his participation was a big question. Because we could not really discuss the route, I have not booked and paid for via the Internet. It is this fact later and it cost us a small loss and change travel plans. Until the last moment we struck up a question about tickets on the shoulder of Bangkok - Koh Samui.?

blessing with tickets helped Oleg ?Ko Samui? samuigreenlife @ hotmail. In the complete absence of tickets he could buy us a 4-e card and it's the eve of the "Songkran". Tickets Bangkok - Koh Samui cost $ 94.?

Note that in Thailand, the Thai new year is called "Songkran" it is celebrated a few days and throughout the country is the so-called "Songkran Festival", I will tell you about it later.?

Thus confirmation of the purchase of tickets received, which contributed to improved mood, as it was possible to stay on the "Full Moon Patti", which is held once a month on the neighboring island of Koh Samui, Koh Pangani.?

What is the Fit's, many probably know, sometimes this action is called winter in Ibiza. About 10000 and thousands of people gather on the beach Haad Rin Koh Phangan to dance till you drop all night, and many are obtained as the insensitive bodies lying in the morning is usually a lot.?

So tickets have a plan for the first days of stay in Thailand is, you can go.?

Moscow 03.04.2004.?

Of course, every journey begins with the airport. Arriving at Domodedovo airport, I recognize that the departure of our flight delayed for two hours. It does not matter, I wait the rest. George arrives with his brother, Vlad, and then Sergei. We go first to the restaurant on the second floor. Then, go to the first floor in the restaurant easier, where the drink is stockpiled George vodovku. Eat cooked his mom in the way Ossetian pies with wild garlic and cheese. Two hours fly by like ten minutes. Gobbled up almost three bottles of vodka, but I do not want to drink.?

Registration has begun, I have another problem with your passport, this is happening is not the first time, 20 minutes muryzhat-ty, then say that everything is fine and miss. In Dyuti Free, all zatarivatsya to complete. I have since met to deal with alcohol take a small bottle of whiskey, in the hope that it all and be all. But it was not there, come a couple of guys from Kostroma, which are beginning to drink at dating. Then comes Alex (Film, Sean Penn, Skotobaza). With Alex, we copied Forum Vinskiy when planning a trip. With him flew three girls: Oksana (Oaks), Olga (Bebik) and Anya (Mouse). The girls flew to Thailand for the first time and courageous Lech, slung on their shoulders all the problems associated with the planning of their overall mission.?

Everything has been fueled by the drinks, so the further recall of the pics. I will only say one thing, the flight was fun and easy.?

I got a place next to the two Indians, who flew through Ashgabat to New Delhi after drinking with them on a pair of portions of firewater, and not finding a common language, I started rushing through the cabin. This zeal was seen not only me but a good third of the aircraft, eventually formed Kompashki interest. Our company is comprised of these people. All loudly discussed plans for the upcoming visit to Thailand. The guys from Kostroma and Alex with the girls decided to go to Phuket. All our persuasion to induce the girls to go with us on Koh Samui had no effect. Although we have expressed all our zeal and pressure, how can a man crushes on pretty girls. Longer had to Lehoy talk, since he was their guiding line. Well, what in consequence our paths still cross.?

Flight to Ashgabat, flying silently, as silently flew stints in the transit zone.?

Fly on the shoulder from Ashgabat to Bangkok took almost the whole dream. At two o'clock in the morning in Moscow, almost all passed out and forgot disturbing dreams of alcoholics. The benefit of the aircraft was two quarters empty, so almost everyone was asleep on the three seats at once.?

Almost home.?

I woke up with the first rays of sun breaking through a crack in the curtains on the inside, on my knees I was asleep, Anya, Sunbeam played on her face. Some very strong people, and in particular George, already breakfasted selected varieties of whiskey. Passed unbearably long time to wake up early decline, finally, our plane started to land.?

I will not describe the customs clearance formalities, visa and other things, this all is simple and it is not worthy of attention.?

I note only one, everybody got the visa within some thirty minutes, but one person got it more than an hour. Who could it be? We have been possible to say in Thailand, in the city, we were greeted by my friends in Bangkok, Julia and Nicholas nick @ travel2siam. And its all there, right, it was George Tolley early breakfast whiskey, toli alleged absence of the Moscow registration prevented him get a Thai visa, along with everyone. We even set off on his quest. I went back, so to speak abroad, something mumbled, Thai customs officials. Looked for him and our standing alone at the turnstile, well at least alive.?

Finally he was given a visa and we can go to the Domestic terminal to pick up our tickets to Samuyschiny.?

tickets for us should be in the "Bangkok Air Cargo, and found this place we are with great difficulty, and then thanks to Julia who speaks Thai.?

Prior to departure, Koh Samui, we had three or four hours, now can not remember, came across a group that flew in the Japanese restaurant on the second floor of the Domestic Terminal. Ordered the "Tom Yam" sushi and more. Of course, again took out the rest of vodka, "Vinogradov", treated the waitress.?

Tom Yam according Zhorik was weak, he was sweating and cursing spitting out the inedible different tops, added for flavor, ate the whole plate. It took me and a couple of spoons to lose the sense of taste. After the vodka again was fun and good, but took only an hour and I felt so bad that I began to regret that he was born.?

After sharing breakfast or lunch, it was our company are divided, the four of us went to register for a flight to Koh Samui, and the boys waited for their flight to Phuket.?

Already before the departure, in the waiting room, I became quite ill, did not save even khalyavnykh drink from the "Bangkok Airways, Vlad had to give me some crap, which saves you from all types of poisonings nothing sort of thing helped for a while.?

Saga of male friendship.?

Flight to Koh Samui, took forty minutes, came when already beginning to darken. The air smelled of rain and had no coolness, stifling as a bath. Fifteen minutes, and total darkness. We met Oleg samuigreenlife @ hotmail with his family and Andrew and a friend from Rostov, who had arrived on Samui before. I had originally planned to fly with them in Cambodia, but they flew out of Moscow before us does not divide, so my Cambodia was not. In general, we met a delegation, it is nice.?

bad that I was thinking as I was getting worse and worse, no water, no beer, to no avail. Taking Oleg's car keys, Suzuki Vitara, rent which has already become a tradition for me, we went to the side of Chaweng Beach.?

Have you ever traveled to the touch? Here I was feeling I was driving like a zombie, no wondering and fearing someone to crush, and the pesky motorcyclists, like moths escaped from the darkness and tried to rush me under the wheels. In the end, I hit curbs on disc, a tangible impact, but sobering, all in the car immediately died down.?

reaching the hotel we were going to stay at ?Chaweng Cove Resotel?, we find that a sufficient number of places in the hotel does not have, namely, no two rooms or bungalows. Come on board Oleg settle in the hotel diagonally, so-so kip, but for one night is normal. For 600 baht obtain air-conditioned rooms, hot water and TV. Buy from Oleg samuigreenlife @ hotmail tickets and transfer to the FMP, is not exactly remember how much but I think 600 or 800 baht from the nose. Particularly afflicted are the massage parlor "Mother Massage", saying he is the best on Samui, where do foot massage, I lay a corpse in the room, I was still bad.?

At about ten in the evening for us calls in a tuk-tuk, which travels and collects from hotels, all riding on FMP. Tuk-tuk stuffed full, warm alcohol people almost sitting on the roof, for some reason it does not take Andrew and his friend, in consequence of that, they have offended. Tuk-tuk brings all to the dock from which go directly to AIDS bots Haad Rin. At Quay bar, playing music sausage, all issued badges at the rope, on which is written the name of the party and the schedule of boats to and fro. The token is a travel ticket, so I do not recommend it to you to lose. Turns Music and prepares for further action, the guys drink "Tequila" by the bar and we miss landing on the boat, nothing in twenty minutes comes another one, and we rush to the party.?

Night, full moon, wind and spray of the warm sea, reflections of lights on the faces on all sides as the eye can see in the dark like fireflies are flocking to the neighboring island of dozens of boats. Approximately half a kilometer heard no roar of music, shows glimpses of lasers and strobe. The boat docks are not all like the marines, special forces team is acidic, jump in the warm sea and dozens of waist-deep in water, wander onto the beach.?

entire beach full of people, about ten dance floors in bars with diverse music, choose what you want. Everyone is dancing or sitting on the sand, drink and smoke, lie or crawl. Shady characters offer Ecstasy and acid, that is, in fact, even apparently they do not really know. We buy buckets, a traditional cocktail, a mixture of whiskey, rum, energy drinks, cola and a fig-knows-what. Show Fair show, pretty, but scary to approach, as a showman is far from being sober. Can be easily obtained on the forehead with a top made from the burning mixture.?

Meet different people, chat and drink together, go dancing from one to another. When drinking is the third bucket, I finally felt better and I joined the general merriment. Zhorik acquainted with the Dutch or Danish, he will find out where we are, mysteriously looked at us and said in heavily accented word: "Cobra" and then disappeared into the crowd. Apparently afraid that fall under the distribution.?

Here's how this action is described Acne, our companion, full citation:?

?Hrenadtsat bultonov megatons zhruschey, kolbasyascheysya biomass. All lanes are clogged, as the bowel with constipation - to 7/11 had to struggle with the battle. Breathe, the air is saturated with smoke marijuana. A bucket of whiskey, cola and vitamins - 150 baht. Snapped. Near a Rastaman gracefully written into the sea ... Someone purposefully drags member sprightly secretly. Boom-boom, Mac-Mac ...?

beach littered with mini-scenes - on every local DJ inspired sausages, famously plastuya dancing Midnight jelly iron rhythm ... Headache, vitamins do not help. Thai boy of about ten twists buckets with burning kerosene, like a robot, for three hours at a time. Hero of the triumph - the moon - is sticking somewhere over the head with yellow pimples - yes it cares, by and large.?

Gore in the lights, the slope jump laser bunnies ... Thump-thump-thump ... Acquainted with some Englishwoman - a second carries us in different directions ....?

Beach, as it should - in bottles and lifeless bodies. Near as vultures lurking spidboty - 300 baht from the nose for quick delivery to your home otkolbasivshih Samuyschinu. Delirium, the bot to their knees in water - the tide. Advance was bought a package here and there, but the planned boat at 4 am was canceled, the bastards. Not stand - parting with 300 batami ... 30 minutes later - at home. "?

By about two, three o'clock in the morning, people are gradually getting drunk to the deranged state, more and more lifeless bodies lying buried in the sand, like the columns are at the surf line to cast a wish or poblevat. In general, the fun is gradually grows into a grand booze. I understood this, I propose to dump. Slowly moving to a place where boats are lost in the crowd and eventually I'm going alone. Have already met on our island, in the bar at the pier, from which we began our journey. We go to the hotel with gay Spaniards who show their knowledge of Russian. Already about four hours in the morning, go swimming in the sea, a little storm, but the water like a skimmed milk, warm and crystal clear, and it reflects the huge disk of the full moon.?

morning, waking up, get out of the room, going to wake Zhorik and Vlad. Leaving the room, like you get in a bath, in-room air conditioning worked, and almost Moscow weather, the door heat and 100% humidity. Again, go to the planned hotel and take it released two rooms with mountain views, on one night and with a sea view for three nights. The complex process of trade eventually fall only up to 1200 baht, which is also, in principle, not a bad thing, as the hotel is very good. We take away the belongings of tarakannika which spent the night, which is likely antimolnik, as she smelled the hotel. Distilled our avtomobilchik a red sun, the hotel and go to breakfast.?

have breakfast in a cafe near the hotel, there's still glass coffee tables, an excellent cafe. Finally, ordering your favorite soup: Tom Ka with Seafood. A little tumble in the rooms are going to swim in the sea. There's also makes the program a day. I, as a personal guide honestly I drive all day, newly-Samuytsev Thais on the island.?

Let's go to the local market, where buying huge pineapples to 5 rubles. Consider fish, vegetables and fruits, consumer goods and other crap. Then he went to the supermarket Lotus where purchased beer, fruit juices and other foodstuffs. Then just go around the island on lookout bought phone cards 1-2-Call. And in the end went to the best relative price of quality restaurant on Koh Samui is located on the road before you reach Thon, if we go from Chaweng. It still hangs from the ceiling and many large shark aquarium livestock. Stockpiled bottle of "Red Johnny" very useful, as Sergei, Zhorik and Vlad, this is the first full meal in a fish restaurant in Thailand.?

sunset, the solar circle is broken into parts the clouds and acquired sophisticated forms of drowning in the sea. Low tide on the sandbanks formed warp couple kids collect small crustaceans, graze beside the cow, so what she eats is not visible, but she was on a course like this.?

From what has held the first dinner, languishing on marine delicacies stomachs? Everyone decides for himself. We decide in favor of six oysters, eight large shrimp with garlic and pepper, steamed crabs, four and one large lobster. Later Zhorik takes another steak shark, which is not very well prepared and is eaten. The bill for all this is just ridiculous about $ 80 for four.?

At the time of drinking and eating with us get in touch with Dimitri and Acne Pitching Vinskiy awd/bb/. We agree to meet about "Reggae Pub" Bob Marley. We arrived there in the still quite elated, and more precisely on the horns of the car yelling "Disco Crash" as a window to look around the muddy, drunken faces.?

Dmitry and Acne are still quite soul boys and pleasant drinking buddies. Dmitri lives in Prague, where haggling at all light absinthe. Acne creative guy living in Moscow. In general, drank a bottle of whiskey "Mekong" and begins to move the local nightlife. Going to the Green Mango is initially lost about Acne and then Dima.???????What is it????????????????
