Primele imagini din Thailanda

Primele imagini din Thailanda

Va scriu aceste randuri din hamacul de pe teresa bungalowului nostru din Thailanda, de unde privesc marea. De cum am ajuns aici, i-am zis lui Radu ca asa trebuie sa arate Paradisul.

EN: I am writing these lines from the hammock on the terrace of our bungalow in Thailand, from where I am watching the sea. As soon as we got here, I told Radu that this is probably what Paradise looks like.

Aceste imagini surprinse de Radu sunt de la inceputul vacantei noastre, cand nivelul bronzului sa zicem ca era un 2 – 3. Acum e de un 8. Iar in tot timpul asta am trait experiente foarte frumoase, altele super amuzante, altele cu peripetii… O sa pastrez amanuntele pentru cand ma voi intoarce in tara, pentru ca e foarte mult de povestit si e pacat sa nu o fac pe indelete, avand speranta ca voi inspira si alte familii sa ne urmeze calea.

Multa lume m-a intrebat unde stam in Thailanda, iar raspunsul este la Longtail Beach Resort in Ko Phangan, adica pe una dintre cele mai frumoase plaje pe care le-am vazut vreodata: Thong Nai Pan Yai Beach. Am ajuns aici fiind influentata si de sfaturile voastre legate de Thailanda si insulele ei, dar si dupa o documentare serioasa pe TripAdvisor si alte site-uri. Cred ca am facut cea mai buna alegere pentru o vacanta cu un copil mic. Acest resort e Raiul bebelusilor si copiilor. Sunt numai familii cu copii, cei mai multi veniti de prin Australia, Franta sau Germania. Si sunt genul acela de parinti relaxati, care isi lasa bebelusii sa misune peste tot, care nu isi faci griji pentru fiecare noua miscare intr-o calatorie la mii de km departare de casa, si care nu par sa judece alti parinti, vecini de bungalow. E o atmosfera grozava si chiar regret ca nu am stiut de locul asta mai devreme, pentru Vlad, micutul meu “si Thailandez si putin Cambodgian” – asa cum singur se auto-praclama acum.

Vacanta continua!

EN: These images caught by Radu are from the beginning of our vacation, when the tan level was about 2-3. Now it’s about 8. And in all this time we had great experiences, some super funny, others adventurous… I will save the details for when I get back home, because there is lots to talk about and it’s a shame not to do it thoroughly, hoping I will inspire other families to follow our paths.

A lot of people have asked me where we are staying in Thailand, and the answer is Longtail Beach Resort in Ko Phangan, which is one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen: Thong Nai Pan Yai Beach. We came here also due to your advice about Thailand and its islands, but also after some serious documenting work on TripAdvisor and other sites. I think we made the best decision for a vacation with a toddler. This resort is Heaven for babies and kids. There are only families with children, most of them from Australia, France or Germany. And they are the kind of relaxed parents, who allow their children to wonder around, who aren’t worried about each new move while travelling thousands of kilometers away from home, who don’t seem to judge other parents, bungalow neighbors. It’s a great atmosphere and I really regret not knowing about this place earlier, for Vlad, my little “half Thai and a little Cambodian”- as he calls himself lately.

The vacation goes on!
