April

| 105 Sa jedne strane poznato kao hipi ostrvo sa neizostavnom „full moon“ žurkom na plaži i raznoraznim žurkama u džungli, sa druge strane nudi nestvarnu lepotu prirode i mora. Najbolje je da iznajmite motocikl kako biste stigli da ga obiđete (Tajlanđani imaju običaj da vam naplate i kvarove koje niste napravili, pa motocikl detaljno slikajte pri potpisivanju ugovora). Prelepe plaže su Botl, do koje se stiže brodom ili dvosatnim pešačenjem kroz planinu, Čaloklum i Zen, na kojoj je zalazak sunca kao u romantičnom filmu. Ako ste pak za dobru žurku, onda je Had Rin pravo mesto za vas, ali bolje je da uzmete taksi jer je put sa te strane izuzetno vijugav i opasan, posebno za slabije motocikle. Noćni marketi su zaštitni znak Tajlanda, a od hrane, ukoliko ste u mogućnosti, isprobajte baš sve. Za mamurluk i vrućinu neizostavan je tom jum (ljuta pikantna supa sa nudlama), a ako želite da probate nešto drugačije, naručite čorbu sa kokosovim mlekom. Ako ste avanturističkog duha, obiđite nacionalni park sa nekoliko vodopada, šetnja uglavnom uzbrdo traje dva sata i iziskuje dobru fizičku spremu, kao i patike. I da, tajlandska masaža na obali mora uz šum talasa za desetak evra nešto je što sebi jednostavno morate da priuštite. OSTRVO KO PANGAN KOPHANGAN ISLAND Known, on one side, as a “hippie” island where unavoidable“Full Moon”beach parties are held each month, but alsovariousparties in the jungle, on the other side it is known for the unbelievable beauty of its nature and the sea. The best way to tour the island is to rent a motorcycle (Thai people have a habit of charging for faults that you didn’t cause, so be sure to take detailed pictures of the bike when signing a contract). Beautiful beaches include Bottle Beach, which is accessed by boat or via a two-hour hike through the mountains, Chaloklum Beach and Zen Beach, where the sunsets are like those fromromantic lms. If, however, you’reup for a good party, then Hat Rin is the place for you, but you would be best advised to take a taxi, as the road on that side of the island is extremely windy and dangerous, especially for weaker motorbikes. Night markets are a trademark of Thailand, andwhen it comes to the food, if you’re able you should try absolutely everything. To treat hangovers and copewith the heat, Tom yum (a spicy noodle soup) is indispensable, whilewhen you want to try somethingdi erent you shouldorder thick soup with coconut milk. Those more adventurous spirits can tour the National Parkwith its severalwaterfalls, the“walk”, which ismostlyuphill, lasts twohours and requires goodphysical condition, as well as sports footwear. And, yes, aThai massage on the seashore to the sound of breaking waves for around ten euros is something you simply must treat yourself to. iStock / Rocky89
