on Koh Kret island in the river Czao Phraja I went one Sunday to the first: to start at the end of the plan to implement the weekends outside of Bangkok, on the other hand have a wonderful time with Paulina and thirdly, to buy pants. The idea of \u200b\u200btrips out of town came up with probably one Sunday or another day off on a wave of remorse and shame, that it not be used full of the charms of living in Thailand or otherwise, that use primarily of the night and the day already lacking energy. In any case the idea appeared so long ago that even the oldest Thai highlanders do not remember, so is this a moral hangover shame, because the plan was delivered to the public mission and at least one person in the company-a great teacher and friend of children Khun Kru Nineeeee, which cuts the work in the bosom of teaching gained in Hong Kong and then at the Cambodian border, where the way to school pobijała speed records on a bike is by no means due to excessive punctuality, but because of the hordes of dogs who have been the biggest obstacle to the complete fulfillment in learning or teaching children from the Good Morning does not speak in the afternoon. During the rainy season came a further obstacle to scorpions and frogs in the house, but it's a topic for an entirely different story. But back to the declaration, and that no just no namysły she delivered the declaration in paragraph even better teacher and an even greater friend of children in addition having its own means of transport or Khun Kru Peteeeeer'a that's me . Khun Kru Paul Ninaaaaaa it means in four words, my support intellectual, moral, party and culinary of Polish food and drink in the Bangkok.
no coincidence, therefore, Paul accompanied me during this trip and by the way who better to advise you that I do not buy underpants countryman, who, not once d ... and froze in the spring. In Poland, no, of course, because not in Thailand, where minimum temperature last winter was about 5 degrees Celsius in Bangkok was not lower than 20 (and still are cases of death from the exit). The island of Koh Kret certainly not known for producing underwear, but along the way are some places where you can obtain this essential for any rider In March the country Pole item of clothing. We went to the hottest week of the period already spent on the island, the plan was a walk, and most of all eating (buying underwear was reserved for the evening). Food is also the main reason for the Thais to visit Koh Kret. Thai people, a nation who loves to eat can talk for hours where it is most delicious tom yam kung (hot soup with prawns) and som tam (papaya salad). It is fascinating how sometimes turns into a clam-teller asked what and where you can eat. In comparison with the rest of Koh Kret is quite unique and original kitchen . Island from the XVIII century was a place of refuge for monovalent-tribe, which dominated central Thailand between 6 and 10 centuries. To this day the descendants of this tribe, have preserved their culture and customs of the mines in the form of dishes, desserts and snacks. Classic, which, however, not given to us was to try is Khan Cher, dish of rice served with a range of starters and seasoned with hot sauce flavored water. Or pancakes with fish paste with spices is called in Thai tod mun pla nor gala. When you arrive at Pak Kret: town, from which the island is a stone's throw or 5 minutes in a taxi tour of the water began. It's fun because we got straight to the market! Zastawialiśmy not long on the first fire went Mon Tempera, or deep fat-fried vegetables, shrimp and flowers .... So for the first time in my life I ate fried orchids, which not only delight the eye, but as it turns out the palate too.
Are they good? Hmm ... I do not have any original flavor, are surrounded in batter and fried in oil and the more I remembered the taste of this cake and oil than the flower. Everything is served in cups made from banana leaves. The second fire went sweetness: the equivalent of our Kögl or she could yolk mixed with sugar and poured boiling water on to the zcięły,
Ideal quenches thirst and start up the yen thai tea with a distinctive orange color mixed with sweet milk syrup, served cold with ice cubes and probably only at Koh Kret served in earthenware jars decorated beautifully. Another pottery typical of the monovalent and the island of Koh Kret attraction. Worth seeing are plants where the pottery made before our eyes and hand-decorated with pitchers, bowls, mugs, etc. for a small fee you can buy tea at once with her to buy a pitcher. This jug is a great reminder of which need not lie idle in the fireplace, but you can use it. I got a gift once in several of these pitchers, and they served me as bottles or containers for various trinkets. And anyway it got them when I was the first time at Koh Kret, playing tourist. By now I was more than a year in Thailand and sometimes used to work as an extra for various Thai film production and advertising. "Acting" was my first involvement in the Land of Smiles and from this period postały me phone numbers for various agents looking for "white" to the game. My role during the filming of the program to Koh Kret was limited to asking questions, making big eyes and shooting with disbelief, astonishment and delight his head. But back to topic, about noon it got hot and we had to rest, and what you do as the rest of Thailand? HE IS. This time it was quieter, there was no experimentation, it was our favorite Kao Niao or steamed rice stuck together (Uncle Ben probably rolling over his grave at the sight of the solid agglomerated grains of rice), and som there. Sitting and eating swam to our shop with dried seafood.
it was not surprising, this type of itinerant trade is the norm in channels and rivers of Thailand (Bangkok was once called the Venice of Asia). After the meal, and sieście went further, We took an ambitious plan to circumvent the entire island. Koh Kret shape of a square with sides about 2 km, can I obejśćw about 2 hours., Rented a bike ride around, or circumnavigate boat taxi. For those who have undertaken an ambitious project to circumvent the island and have to go do not want or can not really required on the road waiting for a taxi. For us young and healthy ;-) shame it would not go so I just bought the water and go. Not uszliśmy far because we got to the next interest przyświątynne fish this time not to eat but for food. Monks sell pre-packaged crust of bread or a fine fish for a symbolic 20 Baht thereby helping the budget of the temple. Thai people believe that feeding the animals bleed for freedom brings helps them escape the cycle of karma or just good luck. So this time something for the spirit, not only for the body. After that we went on the spiritual sensations, to once again hit on another interest group, a slightly podchmielonych Thais. In this case, the attraction was mutual because Paulina accounted for one of them to the taste, so that until he took off his shirt and squared his body covered in tattoos.
was not easy to get away from them, Thais are very hospitable and honest in the hospitality, the smile disappears and with virtually their faces. But you had to go because I missed the The last boat meant for that night on the island. Tired but full experience and a total of surprised at how nice minoł day we went searching for pants. Unfortunately, that day I was able to buy underwear, but conscious and already resigned to the fact that this is not such a simple thing in Thailand began to devise a route for the next weekend, where the best pants you can find. Koh Kret Island
in properly island of Koh Kret same word means the island is located about 20 km north of Bangkok in Nonthaburi province. It is a great place to day trip outside the crowded and corked Bangkok. How to get there? Suppose that we are on Kao San Rd (practically every tourist on the streets of the scrolls) first to the last sail boat marina in Nonthaburi, on the spot that is already in Nonthaburi you can visit the market (300 m from the instrument was made), take a stroll along the river admiring the old made European-style town hall with decorations of teakwood, it might be able to feed the elephant. The harbor is good to jump into the miniwana moving to Pak Kret, along the way, you can also join me for coffee or tea, because I live along the route . In Pak Kret just come przeprawić to the river and to the island. Costs are crossing penny (note the phonies). Going back to check when it is The last boat.
plague subsided. The miraculous healing and how it was achieved, quickly spread throughout the area and new worship was enthusiastically received by the local community.
