Travel To Grow

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. [...]

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 [...]

We arrived on the Haad Yuan area of Ko Phangan for our longest stay during our trip, we would be there a full 7 days. This was close to the half way part of our trip, and it’s an interesting thing when you spend so much time in a place outside of your normal life. [...]

Today we head to our next sleeping destination, the stunning floating bungalows! We headed out on longboats for the adventure. Riding down this amazing freshwater lake was one of my favorite things in the world. I’m on a lake quite often in Ontario, but this lake in Thailand blew it out of the water. (sorry [...]

This day will go down as one of my most memorable experiences from my 40 days in Thailand. We began the day by taking a longboat out on a beautiful trip across the lake, I’ll write more about the lake and longboats next time but it was really beautiful. We were lead by Bau and [...]

The first trip we went on from smileys was to the monkey park. I’m a huge fan of monkeys, I think they are incredibly awesome and cute so I was pretty excited to go. The park was really cool, it was basically a big open area surrounded by trees and they provided us with little [...]

Coming off the train we saw something pretty sweet, there was this crazy looking bus all panted with cool designs. We were quite thrilled to find out it was our party bus! The bus was designed specifically for us and was packed with lots of fans to keep us cool, a pretty sweet sound system, [...]
