Our last day in Bangkok .... begins with a hangover!
We still make it just before 10 clock for breakfast and then start to Chatuchak weekend market. We take a taxi and also decide on the highway to drive. (45 Baht must be paid at the ramp at the counter.)
Once there, we try to orient first time and this is not so easy. A huge market: 18 hectares, more than 15,000 items, with lots of visitors. read here, a taxi driver as we drive to despair ..
Clock in the morning at 6.20 we arrive in Bangkok. A coffee at the Black Canyon and on to the hotel. The taxi drivers at rail stations are hard and try an over-priced vehicle prices prima facie case. So go out and runs out of the station and keep on the high road: on Rama IV, a taxi.
In the hotel again rested briefly, then go ... one more round in the city and turned off to meet with Ben Thomburi.
Today things packed up pay from the reception. We must keep the bungalow until the evening to 20.44 clock goes back to our overnight train to Bangkok.
With heavy hearts we enjoy our last day here at Chumphon Cabana Resort. The "Superior Bungalows Sea View", we can only recommend.
It's hot, it sparkles everywhere and Christmas music is - it all seems very unreal. 'm Melancholy today.
One last time here on the beach one last time in the super-delicious restaurant "OK MAY" - to run a good deal, straight from the street along the resort out to the left.

The Thai team is different ways. Erdal and I start our tour. First we drive to the west of the Kao Phak National Park or National Park Klong Prao. (Depending on the map we have found different names. Our driver could at least begin with the first name of something.)
Here's just a great Scout Group has set up their tents and the leader shouts through a megaphone, the children together. on it goes to Rob Ror caves and langurs, which are fed by the monks!
It will pass every half hour on the big yellow pickup department, to Chumphon in, for 30 baht per person. Erdal and I want today to the city, Evren remains in the department and Thomas wants to make a game with a Mopet.
After 20-30 minutes. we reach the marketplace in Chumphon. Lively drive, pigs heads on wooden tables and a mixture of sweet and putrid smell in the air.
We continue to run, we are looking for a wat. This is unfortunately not Wat, where he was noted in the plan and so we walk back and forth to get past the technical university at which, as it seems 80% are female. an elementary school, we also find ..
The day starts sunny and windy. We finally want a 2nd time Thai team-talk turn, at least one second Experiment, since we all first of our were not particularly enthusiastic. Thomas had but then get a bad mood and wanted to do nothing. Thai team-talk is nonsense to third, so we start our other film idea we have ausgeklüngelt with Evren: we turn our beach movie ...
The day started windy, breakfast table, we are almost blown away! An elderly couple from Brittany speaks to me anxiously on the toaster, if the weather had been so all the time, they are in fact arrived fresh and DAS they had not imagined. swim in the wild sea and heavy rain ..
Our tuk tuk driver Mr. Lampong come punctually at 10 clock down to the department to collect us.
As the first target we chose the Mu Ko Chumphon National Park. The lies about 20 km south of Chumphon. We stand on the tour, this runs on bridges over water through a portion of mangrove forest. (This grows in a range of fresh and salt water mix). Interesting plants and - if lucky - even animals can be discovered. While I desperately pursuing a bird with the lens I see a big Varan. what we discover everything on our tour ...
