Itinerary

We went to a village on the east coast. On the way, we stopped for a swim and unexpectedly ended up in a beautiful place.

The village turned out to be quite a touristy place. The main attraction is one street with old fishermen’s houses on stilts, where souvenirs are now sold or people are served in restaurants with very high prices, clearly aimed at tourists.

In the village, we went into a shop to buy ice cream, and while we were sitting at the bus stop eating it, we saw a Thai man frying pancakes in the shade. The pancake customers were clearly local people, and thinking this was a good sign, we bought a pancake for ourselves too — it turned out to be very tasty! The little man made them so skillfully — a real pleasure to watch.

On the way home, we saw a huge fair. They were selling all sorts of things there — lots of different food and clothes.

There was also such a strange carousel with a fan.
