Krabi Day 2: Railey Beach

The next day we really wanted to see a nice beach therefore we took a longtail boat from Ao Nang Beach to Railey Beach. We payed 400 Baht (around 10 Euro) for 2 tickets and it took about 15 minutes to get there and the trip was worth it because you can watch the water and the cliffs which is really beautiful.

When we arrived to the Island, we realized that we arrived at the west side of the beach which was also beautiful but we walked like 15 - 20 minutes to the East Railey Beach where we could swim and hangout. The walk to the beach was nice as we saw a lot of plants, flowers, cliffs and monkeys running around. It was simply amazing and you can only enjoy the whole nature around you.

When we finally arrived there, we were, again, impressed by the beach, the water... just the whole view.

We stayed there the rest of the day, walking around, swimming, climbing up some rocks, taking pictures and just being one with the nature. It's always amazing to realize how beautiful, diversified and wonderful this world is. I feel like I want to see every single side of this earth, there's no place I am bound to, any place where I feel comfortable I can call home...

Krabi Day 1: Ao Nang Beach and Nature

Hello my Lovelies ! :)

How are you and how's your summer so far? I know, I know... I am taking too long to post new things. Like so often I can only tell you that I am very sorry about that but living and working in Bangkok absorbes my whole life and time at the moment. 

Two weeks ago I went to Krabi and one week ago I visited my family in Vietnam. So this weekend I am finally staying in Bangkok, doing the typical stuff: nightlife, sleeping, eating, relaxing... and I wouldn't prefer something else right now! I am so damn happy about that weekend has finally arrived and I just want to chill and take time for some personal things... for example my blog. :)

So yeah... Krabi. We arrived in Ao Nang on friday and just took the time to look around our resort, the streets and to relax as I got ill the day before the trip... unfortunately.

We went to the restaurant, spent some time at the pool and in our room.

Our resort where we stayed at was located directly at Ao Nang Beach, so it was very nice to walk around and having the ocean view and the nature all around us.

summery anticipation

Hey lovelys !

Right now I am so busy again ... I am sorry for that... everyday life is always full of work and events I do not even have some time for myself though.

But this friday I will fly to Krabi (south of Thailand) with Bebé and of course I will report afterwards. :)

Also, next week I will fly to Vietnam for a few days to visit my relatives which I also can't wait for. 

Actually this weekend is the first time we will do a trip somewhere a bit farer away although we are here for 2 months already. I am very excited to the beach, the nature and hot springs I heard about and of course I look forward to having a relaxed time far away from the crowded city.

I am about to go to sleep as I have to stand up at 6.45 and I just found a new song of Sam Smith and Disclosure which got released since a few days and I love it!

I already went to the concerts of Sam Smith in Berlin as well of Diclosure in Leipzig in 2014 therefore I am so happy that they produced a new song together again.

This beautiful song makes me want to dance, automatically smile and having a good mood as well as creates a lot of anticipation in me for future events. 

It just gives me the feeling of a never-ending romantic summer night with a lot of dancing... (hopefully with the person you love)... it's already my personal summer song of 2015 for sure.

In anticipation of what is coming,

I wish you a beautiful, dreamy summer night...

some other vibes...

perfect weekend

Hello sweetys ! :)

It's almost 3 weeks ago that I have posted something new, I am so sorry for that, my daily life in Bangkok is crazyyy !

The week was quite hard as I still need to get used to the 10 hours of work every day... this week I always finished work at 8pm in the evening and then I have like only 2 - 3 hours to do something, well, to eat with my babe and then to go sleep actually, haha (well, I try)-

At first André and me were planning to leave the city but because of money (flight and hotel) and time (2 days are not enough) we decided to stay in Bangkok, and it was a good decision though !

Actually it is very difficult for us to plan trips because Bangkok already offers so many things that we couldn't even explore in a whole year I guess.

So friday night I really wanted to go out therefore we met some of my friends from the internship and went out. First we stopped by at Ocean Pool Lounge to have some free cocktails (höhö) and then headed to Insanity which is a club next to the hotel I work for.

We have danced our soul out of our bodies and had so much fun, gosh those nights in Bangkok I won't forget...

Afterwards André and me had some night snack at a street food restaurant and I just realized that weekend has arrived finally.

It's so funny to see all those people dressed up heavily with short dresses and high heels and then just sitting at a not so fashionable small table on the street and have some nice food. Just love this atmosphere and this life here.

On saturday we had a swim in our pool first, then had some Korean Hot Pot and to fulfill the relax-package we joined an oil massage afterwards. :)

In the evening we went to a nice festival which is called "Sunn" with a lot of international DJ's and the top act was a german DJ from Berlin (yesss). The festival took place in RCA (Royal City Avenue) which is a popular street with a lot of good clubs in Bangkok. It had 3 dancloors, 13 DJ's as well as a nice foodtruck in the outdoor area. Of course the first thing we did was having a tasty beef burger and some curled fries before we danced the nigh away hehe. 

All in all it was a greaaaat weekend and now it's sunday already... looks like today we will just relax at home and very important: skype with my favourites... :)

Have a nice sunday hunneys,

Btw.: Since a friend was mentioning that she can't understand my german posts, I decided to write in english so everyone can understand :)

Weekend: Off to Pattaya - Koh Larn

Meine Süßen,

Ich hatte letztes Wochenende das erste Mal komplett frei (Samstag u. Sonntag) und wir haben das natürlich ausgenutzt und sind nach Pattaya gefahren für die paar Tage. Nach der Arbeit sind wir direkt in den Bus gestiegen und ab gings, weg vom stressigen Big City Life und Richtung Strand. :)

Die Fahrt hat gerademal 119 Baht gekostet, was umgerechnet ungefähr 3 Euro sind und dauerte so 2,5 Stunden wegen dem Wochenendverkehr. Wenn ich hier mal friere, dann ist es im Bus! Ansonsten war es ganz bequem, so ähnlich wie die Fernbusse in Deutschland. Es hat gut getan, einfach abzuschalten und das fing bereits mit der Fahrt an.

Angekommen sind wir in der berühmten Walking Street feiern gegangen und morgens mit wundervoller Sonne und Blick auf das Meer aufgewacht. Genau für diese Momente lohnt sich das alles, genau diese Momente zeigen mir, wie schön das Leben ist.

Viel Schlaf hatten wir nicht, aber wir waren höchst motiviert und haben das nächste Boot zu der Insel Koh Larn genommen, die nicht weit entfernt von Pattaya ist. Beim ersten Mal haben wir das Speedboat genutzt... auf eigene Gefahr läuft das alles, das sag ich euch! Es ist zwar schneller (15 Minuten), als das gewöhnliche Schiff (1 Stunde), aber gleichzusetzen mit einer Achterbahnfahrt. Vielleicht etwas gefährlicher, Kinder und älteren Leuten empfehle ich das eher weniger.

Gut festhalten also. :D

Angekommen im Paradies haben wir die Zeit einfach zum Relaxen genutzt und sind abends wieder nach Pattaya. Sonntag genau dasselbe, nur diesmal mit dem gewöhnlichen Schiff und an einen anderen Strand der Insel, welcher deutlich schöner, leerer und angenehmer war (Koh Samae). Die Insel Koh Larn hat mehrere Strände, das nächste Mal mieten wir uns ein Moped, so dass wir an einem Tag mehrere Strände abklappern können... Aber für den Anfang war es wundervoll und es ist klasse zu wissen, dass solch ein wunderschöner Strand keine 2 Stunden von Bangkok entfernt ist.

In ein paar Wochen geht's nach Singapur... ich bin schon ganz gespannt und freue mich sehr. Ich habe schon viel von Singapur gehört... werde euch berichten.

Ich knutsche Euch bis dorthin und hoffe, dass ihr ein paar Inspirationen bekommen konntet...

**snapshots with the mobile**

Just hold on we're going home...

Ich habe den heutigen Tag frei und mir mal Zeit für mich genommen... es ist auch mal schön, ein paar Stunden einfach komplett allein zu sein und sich einfach mal sich selbst zu widmen. Wie schön es auch ist, sein Leben zusammen mit anderen zu leben, so genieße ich auch gerne diese Momente, die ich für mich habe. So wie heute. Ich habe erstmal schön ausgeschlafen, bin im Pool geschwommen, hab mir ganz entspannt etwas zu Essen gemacht, an meinem Blog geschrieben und Freunden geantwortet, was in letzter Zeit leider etwas zu kurz kommt wie ich finde...

Was die wenigsten wissen, ist, dass ich in meiner freien Zeit sehr gerne singe. Es macht mir Spaß und entspannt mich, vor allem weil Musik mein Leben begleitet und ich so der Musik noch näher bin.

Ich hatte heute Lust, einfach mal ein Video aufzunehmen und nun stelle es sogar hier hoch. Die Qualität ist grottig, es ist nur mit der Webcam aufgenommen, aber was solls... :)

Das Lied kennt ihr bestimmt und ist schon etwas länger draußen, aber dennoch höre ich es immer wieder gerne..

In diesem Sinne wünsche ich euch noch einen schönen Tag,
