the café in the grande mosquée de paris

what can i say? visiting the café in the grande mosquée de paris feels like being back in sham - having tea with your friends in an naufara. thanks to my dear tanguy for taking me!

sai thong

very simple bungalows in between koh tao’s characteristic boulders along an empty beach with fantastic snorkelling and a wonderful little restaurant. you’ll have to walk through the rainforrest for at least 25 mins to reach any place where your cell phone will work and you can purcase something or use the internet. in other words, this resort is perfect!

koh tao

having made plans to go trekking in isaan in the north and visit villages and khmer temples, i was rather sceptical to be dragged along to koh tao. once we got there, however, it turned out to be a paradise. it’s a green and hilly, sleepy little island with empty beaches and strange rond boulders scattered all over it. there is a small centre with several dive centres, a mini mart and a few restaurants and bars – and suprisingly few partying backpackers. the diving was less interesting than expected but the curries were not!
