When Robin en Steven left I spent till the 18th of April in BKK, that means I was there during Sonkran festival. It's a combination of a Buddhist celebration and Thai new year. It is by far the best thing ever. Its basically 5 days in a row waterfights and party, everybody is participating wheter they want it or not. The first day I met a group Korean people, and I remember being surprised by the way they take care of eachother. It took me 3 days to find out the didnt know eachoter before Thailand, but they insta thread eachoter like family.
In this area I ran into the Koreans, we spent a couple of days in this area.
This is not the entire group, I think it was around 10
Froggy is a loooot of fun!
This was the last day of Sonkran, actually we thought it was over the day before. We went out because it was froggy's last day in BKK. We picked RCA but went we arrived it became clear it were 2 giant foamparty's. I had a lot of fun outside, rest stayed in the actual clubs.
After these refreshing 5 days my visa was about to expire, I had to leave Thailand but didnt no where I wanted to go. I got Laos strongly recommanded by Alex and a handfull of other poeple. Only thing was, I was terribly tired, and I wanted/needed to go back to Malaysia anyway. I ended up flipping a coin for it, and faith decided it was going to be malaysia. Jinny wanted to come to malaysia, so I met up with her in Paneng. We stayed in MY for little over a month, I decided to abort my plans to visit UK Alex with Malaysian Alex in Australie. and instead travel via Thailand to Laos with Jin. I personally enjoyed the time we spent in Thailand more although Laos is absolutely amzing. Mainreason for this statement is A: I had a good time in Thailand and B: I suffered from a sunstroke most of the time in Laos + I feel like we should ve spent more time in the north then crossing the entire country from south to north by bus. Oh well cant complain I guess :D /
Super random that I again found an appartement in Paneng, when I was actually looking for a nice hotel with an acceptable longstay rate, I would say this one is better then my first house. This is the view from the balcony.
I cant drive a motorcycle in Malaysia so I bought a cycle. Made one pretty insane daytrip. I remember feeling satisfied.
Lankawi (MY), cablecar, right after our 5 week break in Paneng. r: is Hyo Jin.
We travelled via Lankawi, Satun, Hat Yai, and Surat Thani to Ko Tao and Ko Pha-Ngan, where we both got our "avanced open water diver"
Nightdive, was my worst dive so far, apart from the time my buddy and I lost the instructors under water. I want to nightdive again though, saw some pretty sick baracuda's
World famous "full moon party" in Ko Pha-ngan, pretty insame.
Have to go there again with a bunch of guys *angel*
One of the seven steps waterfall. Absolutely amazing, I only saw 4 out of 7 steps. Wanna go back!
Laos: loading up chickens on top of the bus...
At some point the bus was flooded by kids selling food. kinda said, but they seemed pretty happy.
All folowing pictures showing the beauty Laos
had a great day! But had something less enjoyable the follwoing time beacause of it.
In the left corner you can see me wondering wheter to jump or not lol.
Some random dude fishing near the biggest challenge of the day. I realise it looks pretty gay on the picture, but I flipped like 5-10 meters further downstream.
Now that I am thinking of it, maybe I wasnt sunstroked most of the time in Laos but it definately felt like it. After another 10hour busdrive, 3 or 4 days after the fatal daytrip kayakking I just wanted to go back to Bankok and grind out my time before flying via PEN to Los Angeles, tired of travelling and still pretty sick, so thats what we did. We stayed little over a week in Bankok where again I met a lot of Korean people. Funnzies!!
Crazy! but pleasure to be around, again this is just a fraction of the entire group.
Jin bought me a shirt with the Korean flag on it. Result: lots of people randomly came over to me to shake hands :D .
Round of 16: Korea vs Uruguay

The 28th of June I left Thailand wich felt me harder then I expected. I took the plane to Malaysia for a nice little sleepover among the cockroaches in Georgetown to continue my travels via Thaiwan to Los Angeles. When I arrived in LA around 8pm I wanted to let my connecting flight go and instead take the bus, because there was a 12 hour layover, I just wanted to get there I figured I could be in the Vegasvilla around midnight. I was horribly off...Arrived around 5.30am and hated my pooor decision. Obviously nobody was answering the doorbell, so i pretty much broke in, hoping nobody would axe me down as soon as I entered the house.
Vegas house.
Awseome restaurant, very small group tho. Amzing food and an amazing view.
After dinner we stayed in the Palms, went to a different floor to the Ghostbar. Pretty darn amazing, and a nice start off for a goood night!
I am here now for 2 weeks, and I landed in a pretty cool bunch of people. I obv lost a shitload of money. I guess people are supposed to lose in Vegas, still not too much fun. I lost 2.5k$ backing other pokerplayers in the mainevent of the world series of poker, I lost 1k$ playing a deepstacked event myself, I lost money playing cash both online and live + the cost of living is pretty darn high. I rly need to be more patient, and I really need to bump the amount of pictures I took in Vegas. Wish me luck!

PS: I am going home end of this month woeiii!
