Now we have been in Huai Yang for a couple of days, we have sunbathed on the infinitely long beach that is unusually clean, free of rubbish and a bit rough. It's not directly windy, but it's still quite high waves, but it does not matter, I am not into swimming that much, but it's nice that the wind not blow the sand in my eyes while i am laying down Reading a book.
What a luxuary problem! I can really hear how that sounds😱. But after a while when you have been traveling around like We have for quite a long time, and the only problems or issue you have is when or what you are going to have for dinner, you starting to think about the small things and sometime you can also make them to be bigger than they are, we also begin to come to the point searching for a place, the ultimate place, and seattle down somewhere.
We are, as I said, sometime at the beginning of the blogging Real Thailand Ambassadors and almost completely biased, of course, we are able to see things that are wrong and lacking here too, but on most things, we are like many other Swedes hopelessly in love With Thailand. However, it's only three times that we have spontaneously said "here we can live" and it has been all three times in villages on this coastal strip, it has been in Khanom, Ban Krut and now in Huai Yang .
Now we have not been here for so long, but the pure spontaneous feeling is like that. The village here is a bit undefinable, at least in our first impression, it seems to be a bit scattered and there are crazy many small roads crossing across the community, consisting mostly of small shops and small houses, and some only share palm-lined surfaces .
What strikes us is the many amount of so-called communitys, large walled areas with houses owned or rented by farangs / tourists. It's probably one thing that may take the place down a bit on my top list, but I still understand that there are many who prefer to live like that, it's super nice fresh smaller and bigger houses, and it will be a kind of home feeling and security. But I'm not really there when I think about the willingness to settle down.
It is a bit of a camping feeling, everyone is greeted at all (as we like), but it will be a bit we and them when it comes to the Thai and I'm having a bit of trouble With that segregation...it's my spontaneous feeling.
It is a railroad that passes through the community that stretches from Bangkok down to Trang, at least, maybe longer. This Huai Yang stop is adorned by the sweetest little station's house you can imagine, it take your mind to the world of fairy tales and childhood summer holidays.
Everywhere, blond people are seen in "their" tuk tuks or sitting at restaurants, and the language spoken is 90% Swedish. Today we also did something that for us is quite unusual, we went all in and had a pizzadinner and a big glassunday.
So now we are laying down on the bed in our AC cool room and feel like two real flashpackers but in the morning we go down to the little station house and jump on the train to Ban Krut and we return to the "normal" life and say hello to bucket-toilet, fan and ants again
Bye for now 🌺☮️❤️
