Our 40 day trip was slowly coming to an end, and we found ourselves back in Bangkok again for the final few days of our unforgettable vacation.
We decided the last few days had better be unforgettable too!
I woke up in Bangkok feeling a little bit sick, but when I was invited to come along to [...]
This was the most adventurous day of my entire life.
This entire blog entry is from the same day. It started early in the morning around 8:00am.
My friend Tim and I decided to go on a cliff jumping tour! We walked down to the meeting place and met our Thai guide. We took a long boat [...]
Next we arrived at the amazing and famous Koh Phi Phi island!
Back on Dec 24th 2004 this island was devastated by a massive Tsunami that killed nearly 1000 people and destroyed countless lives. The island was abandoned and it was thought that the popular backpacking destination may never return to its former state. Thankfully only [...]
After Koh Lanta we were headed to one of my favourite places in Thailand Koh Phi Phi… but first here’s a collection of a few funny things we saw around Thailand!
Thailand had loads and loads of bad English everywhere. Even professional posters and signs are often wrong. Check out some of these!
I hope the beep [...]
In Koh Lanta we stayed on a nice little resort with a beautiful pool, a really nice bar, a volleyball net, and an oceanfront view.
Something I had wanted to do in Thailand that I didn’t have a chance to yet was to take a Muay Thai lesson from a real Thai fighter. Luckily Lanta was [...]
Railay had a really interesting cave in it. We had been in 3 or 4 caves thus far and this one was smaller than most but it was still interesting for a specific reason. When you reached the center of the cave there was absolutely no sound at all. It was the quietest place I [...]
One thing I’ve been neglecting to talk about so far are the various shows that we got to see all along our trip. The most popular being Muay Thai fights and Fire spinning.
Muay Thai is the national sport of Thailand. Before I came on the trip I had trained in it for about a year, [...]
After a nice solid amount of time in Ko Phangan, it was time to move on to our next destination – Railay.
Railay is technically connected to the land at one point but it really feels like a large island, there are multiple beaches and it is home of some really world class rock climbing.
Everything on [...]
Before the night of the full moon party we warmed up with a Jungle Rave party. The coolest thing about this party is that you have to walk way out into the jungle to find it! Eventually we got to it, the party was in a club surrounded by trees. Of course being a rave [...]
During my trip I complied a little list called:
You know you’re in Thailand when…
-You take a swim in the ocean before breakfast
-You eat rice at LEAST once a day
-You ride in the back of an open pickup truck almost everywhere
-Your no longer scared you’re going to die when you ride in the pickup truck when [...]
