One Day With Koh Chang...
Sunset
Singapore Sling
Yesterday was a quite weard day. We had rent a motorbike to go around the island, check in some waterfalls, some other beaches och try to find a tattooartist that make awsome bamboo tattoos (speciel kind of tattoo here in Thailand, you understand when you see the pictures). TThe only thing we knowned was which beachs he had his studio at and his name, but the beach is pretty big so we had a little bit of hard time to find it at first. It showned that it´s alot of bambu studios here on Koh Chang, but we find it after a while and it was all worth it. I had never seen so nice and detailed bambu tattoos before. We talked to him (One) and shown him the design we wanted and after 1-1,5 hours in his studio I was laying on the floor to get my first and probably only tattoo made of bambu.
Itchy?
"One"s Studio
Shaving
"Balance"
The design is a tribute and a memory for the trip I´m doing right now. The signs shall make you feel safe in whatever you doing here in life. Do you see where the design from the board is coming from?
Yeah it´s a Vanguard folks!
Marias sign/word stands for "balance" that I think is a great word because balance can mean so many different things here in life.

One Day With My MotherFucking Back...
We should skate for 75km and when take a bus to Bangkok because of the heavy traffic, but we only came 5km before I cracked my back. It was so fucking painfull so I almost started to cry and I was so angry because I hate to quit so I kicked my helmet out in the bushes and with my luck it landed in a small river and was totally wet. And we didnดt want to turn back because just the thought of spending 5-7 days in that town was terrefying, so we started to walk and hitchhike. After a while this nice couple stopped and ask us if we wanted a ride to Bangkok and we said yes. During the hole trip to Bangkok (almost 3 hours, 1 hour and and 140km if you go straight, but we didnดt) they wouldnดt let us pay for anything, they bought us food, cookies, ice-coffee (that Maria and I hate) and they drove us all the way to Khaosan Road even if the lived near the airport and they refused to take gas-money. They also gave us their number so if we got any problem we could just call them, they were totally amazing.
Thanks so much guys
After a little bit of shopping and a tuktuk trip that took us 4 hours instead of 30min because of trafficjam we were on the bus to trat, and after trat the ferry to Koh Chang and here are we now. Here we just hang on the beach, swimming and take it easy and hopefully will my back be good in about one week so we can continue our journey to Singapore.
We have decided to not go back these 70km that we missed because of the heavy traffic. It didnดt feel so safe the last day we skated because the traffic were massive, you can really feel that you are close to Bangkok because itดs trucks everywere and the slow ones drives in our lane, so thatดs why decided to start our journey again from Samut Sakhon when my back is ok.

Day 1, 30km.
Because Maria still is sick so we didn´t know if we should skate today or not. But we choosed to skate because we didn´t want to stay at our shitty hotel anymore. It was full of ants, cockrochers, supermoister, terrible smell and we had a gang of constructionworkers outside our window that made alot of noice from 7am to 7pm.
So we tock our things and skated to nearest village which is called Phayuha Khin and there we found a great place to stay. Right before we came here we stopped at the policestation to ask about the way and he pointed straight forward and the hotel will be on your left side. We said thank you and skated to the hotel, after a little while a policecar drove pass us and waved us in, it was the same policeman and he just wanted to get us a lift to the hotel so we jumped in the car. If it wasn´t for him we had never found this hotel because there were no signs on english and it was brhind a very big building with apartments.
Day 2, Maria sick.
Day 3, 75km.
Because of Maria sicknes we only thought of skating 35km today to the nearest village. When we arrived we couldn´t find anywere to sleep so we had to skate for 20km more to the next village. Nowere to sleep here either so we skated for 20km more to come to the next town. Here we found a sweet hotel after almost 30min of searching. Almost immidiatly we went to the restuarant and I had the most awful springrolls I ever taste, they wasn´s deep fried and the were cold, what are you thinking people!
Today a guy stopped us by the road and did an interview with us that he said he should send to some tv-stations and newspapers. So hopefully we can get some publicitet her in Thailand aswell. Maybe we become famous, you never know, muhaha.
A big, big up to Maria today to managed to skate for 75km without almost any food at all. But tonight she ate like never before so it´s nice to see what she is getting better.
