Step back

After funny night in Kalibo "airport", we came to Manila. That is much better, everything beautiful and clean. We ate in Burger king, I booked the room, it seemed like life is getting better. It was about 2km to the hotel, we decided to walk. Across the airport were beautiful houses, but as more we walked as everything was getting worse. Mud, garbage and beggars, every taxi stopped and asked: "where are you going?". I hate it, because I can't answer everyone, I have to ignore people, that's unpleasant. Seems typhoon was not only in Boracay, many broken trees, even one electric post on the ground. And half of city without electricity. Our hotel too. Without light that place looks like scary movie's basement. We didn't have a plan B, so the best choice was get back to airport with free wifi and decide what to do next. Google maps showed the shortest path and we went there. After one hour we came to terminal 2, I suppose it's for local flights, no waiting hall, no wifi. And surprise, you can't get terminal 3 from terminal 2, it's just 100 meters, but you must go around through the city, about 5-6 km, nice, I love guy, who built it. When we finally came to airport we sucked to live-giving internet) We decided to give this country one last chance - I found town near Manila, Batangas. Description in wikitravel was nice, we decided to go there. I took taxi to bus station, I asked him to enable taxi-meter, he said: no, 300 php is fine. After I'd opened door, he agreed ride with taxi-meter. In the end I paid 110 php, in my experience - taxi drives are the worst people in the world, all of they try to fuck you. Ok, we are on bus station, that looks like market, no cashiers, you just come to bus and ask where is it going and price. We paid 167 peso each. Until we left Manila in the bus came people, who buy water, nuts and other things, some guys just asked money, it's pretty annoying. 2 hours and we in Batangas.
When we got out, I felt like I'm in a zoo. A lot of people shouted: taxi, tricycle, town. It looked not like a bus station, but like a battlefield. We found our guesthouse in some village, about 20 minutes from main road, no cafes, no shops, you can buy only snacks. And as Manila, no electricity and internet. But place was good, very quiet, no people, even with pool, but water was too muddy to swim there. We had a small bungalow with no closing door and just bamboo mat on the floor instead bed for 400 php. It's the cheapest shelter in the Philippines, what we have found. I don't know what we did without mosquito net, it helps us all the time. In the morning, we walked to the town through the village, people looked us like they've never seen while guys. Actually, I felt it everywhere in Philippines, even in McDonalds in Manila. I don't know why, almost everyone looked us with big interest. After walking in the town we decided to leave this country as soon as possible. Of course, maybe in another parts of country everything is different, but I didn't like what I saw. And I saw that - this country could be fine if you are rich, but it's really bad for backpackers. Bus to Manila had free wifi, that's service, like in Europe) I found tickets to Phuket in 7 hours, not cheap, but we spent $200 for 4 days, staying in Philippines is too expensive.
In the night we were in Thailand again. I didn't want to go back so soon, but we bought ticket home in august from Bangkok and 30 days in Thailand is enough to have perfect time before back to cold climate. We spent 2:20 hours in the queue for border officer. I had never wait the stamp so long before. Anyway we had to wait morning bus the whole night. Sleeping on the chairs already is good for us, I thing now I can sleep anywhere) By buses and boat we got to Koh yai noi and walked to the Fon's house. I feel there like at home, finally we could just lie to hammock and not have to plan anything, just relax.
We spent 3 days there, had great dinner with Fon's family, made fish and prawns BBQ, that's tasty) In 3 days Fon was going to Tonsai to meet her friend, we went with her. Now sea is not quiet, big waves, boats can't go from the beach as in winter, they start from some small bay. Out boat got the high sea and gear was stalled. Boatman dropped ankor and sat wait something. We were lucky that Fon was with us, she called to another boatman, who should be pick us. Meanwhile we sat in the high sea with big waves far away from coast. We changed the boat, Fon already was afraid and didn't want to go to Tonsai, but she had no choice. The path to Tonsai was a little scary, not for our lives, but for my laptops, waves were really big, boat swung, splashes in the face, very funny. Somehow Fon didn't like it, she looked like she said goodbye to life) We got the beach and after 2 minutes began storm with strong rain. We hid in Viking bar, wind turned chairs and tables in bar. It was a big luck that we landed, in the high sea it could be not too nice. Fortunately, it was about 20 minutes. We rented bungalow in Jungle hut resort for 100 baht, I love low season, in February it costs 500 baht. When we got back to the beach, in half hour, Fon already was gone, before storm began again. Thanks for conducting us)

Tonsai is my favorite place in the world. But low season means not only low prices and free climbing routes, it means bad weather too. We spent there 8 days and half of they was raining, 2 days rain was without stopping. I didn't know before, but when rain at the night it very cold, our bungalow has leak and half of bed was wet. So I slept outside in the hammock, in the warm clothes, but was extremely cold, like in mountains. It's in tropics in the summer, sweet) I hadn't tried bouldering in the Tonsai before, this time we tried, because we had no rope. So bouldering there is cool, much funnier that in gym, but pretty scary, mates are very old and I'm not sure that's safety to fall on they from >3 meters. Ones we tried to find walking way from Tonsai to Ao nang though the jungle, but after 2 hours of straying in the jungle without any tracks, we got back.

Today we went to Krabi, we came waiting boat in 7 am, in 30 minutes came gay with crutches. Yesterday he fall during climbing and now has problem with leg. Boatmen offered us to pay 160 instead 100 and go immediately, we decided to wait. When gathering 8 people to Ao nang they asked 150 baht for each. We didn't agree to pay more than 100 baht, but other guys agreed. Even guy with broken leg, but boatmen refused him. They said: "you didn't want to pay 160 and now you wait." Everybody, who came after us, went to the boat. We could go to Railey, because it's easier to find boat there, but that guy couldn't. Boatmen said: "now it's big waves, it's not safety with 8 passengers, only 5 and it costs 150". We had no choice and agreed. Anyway in the boat were 8 person, 5 thai and we. Do you remember what I said about taxi drivers?) I don't care if they want to have more money from us, because we could go to Railey, even go walking through the jungle, but don't pick up guy, who needs medical aid, fucking assholes.
Now we are in Krabi, with internet, hot water and 7eleven, nice to come back to civilisation.
