items Initially, I was reluctant to visit the East but after the first visit, I was completely hooked. Thailand, the "Land of Smiles", is a firm favourite.
If you have the time then I highly recommend travelling to the North of Thailand. Chang Mai is such a contrast to the cities and beaches. Tranquil, spiritual and beautiful. Train trips are the cheapest and take 10 hours, passing through spectacular s...
Chiang Mai: White, Blue & Red Temples Tour with Lalitta Cafe
If you want to experience the liveliness of Bangkok then this trip is for you! Take lots of cash and if you are scared of snakes (I am beyond terrified of the creatures), then take note, there are quite a few draped around very brave Thai men for pho...

From Bangkok: Pattaya Koh Larn & Sanctuary of Truth Day Trip
Those that follow my lists know that my "Go-To' in every city is the red bus hop on-hop off ride. It is a bit slow in Bangkok due to the madness of the traffic but still a good way to orientate yourself.
Bangkok: Hop-On Hop-Off Bus with 24, 48 or 72-Hour Validity

Bangkok Nightlife | Where To Eat, Party & Stay In 2025
I personally preferred this performance to the one we did in Bangkok which, although beautiful, did not give such a sense of serenity and “calmness”. Maybe it was the fact that Bangkok bombarded me with the noise, heat and humidity that affected the ...
Chiang Mai: Khan Toke Traditional Meal & Dancing Performance
