Hey there, This quick episode will be about this little town called Tai Mai in Chantaburi. We were there right before Koh Chang and we were exhausted those two days. We got some rest there and not post anything about so now i am giving a little info about the place.
Tai Mai is a little fishermen village about 10 km from Chantaburi. Why we end up here is Culu's hurry to reach the ocean. After leaving the mountains he was so keen on going to the beaches before we leave Thailand. So the easiest place for us on the road was Chantaburi but we couldn't find any place there cuz they don't accept dogs. I found it a bit raciest though. Then Culu decided to camp on the beach and we head to the closest and supposedly to the most beautiful beach but we couldn't get there before sunset and stayed in Tai Mai.
When we wake up we got on the bike and pedal quickly to the Chao Lao beach where we put our feet in the water first time in Thailand. It was my first ocean experience. I was hunting shade while Culu enjoys the sun.
Some young mangrove's trying to reach the sky in the middle of the sea.
It was our first totally relaxed day since we start that shit. Culu was reading this book called "Amber Hymns" from Malik Crumpler. He is a poet from New York and visited us last year in Istanbul. He came to Culu's exhibition and gave his book to him. It's the only book Culu brought to the trip.
In the evening we just hang out in the town and had some new friends. Mostly spend the night with them and try to communicate in thai.
some very cheap squids for dinner
At the night market with our new friends and their son. They fed Culu with some delicious papaya salad and some snacks which were totally out of my menu.
Well that was all from Tai Mai. Will be keeping you updated about our next stops soon. Have a great day.
