Thailand 🐉🌶️
There’s plenty to do in Thailand! This is just things I would advise to book in advance or plan around.
Incredible class - a real highlight in our stay at Chiang Mai. Great place to meet other people to share a love of culture and good food.
Zabb E Lee Thai Cooking School
Ethical elephant sanctuary at Elephant Nature Park. This programme was the best and gave a unique insight, as opposed to just going to the main park.
Sunshine for Elephants - Sunshine - / Chiang Mai / Thailand
Very kind staff, had a great time here! I would recommend trying a Muay Thai class at least once!
Mai Karon Muay Thai
A great night and well organised, this place had an infectious atmosphere. The commentator really added to it! Avoid if you’d find the brutal nature of it difficult to watch.
Bangla Boxing Stadium
Incredible zip lines, so well organised and feels safe considering the height. The staff really know what they’re doing and are great fun - huge highlight!
Tree Bridge Zipline Samui
Very fun thrifting experience in Bangkok - countless floors to explore, it feels like a real treasure chest.
Bang Sue Junction Shopping Center
Centre of Thai boxing in Bangkok - a must go if you want to immerse yourself in the boxing experience.

Indonesia 🐒🎋
A beautiful country. I only explored Bali and Lombok, so my knowledge is limited, but these were my favourite experiences there.
One of the biggest highlights ever, had such a ball! The only ATV ride you ever need to do, the people were fantastic but the course was outstanding. Get the photography package if you can, you won’t want to miss it - plus you get to be at the front.
Kuber BALI ADVENTURE
For Mount Batur sunrise trekking, we had a great guide and such a lovely group of people hiking with us. If the air is clear at the top, the views are breathtaking. The hike is not too bad as mountains go, but have shoes with good grip for the way do...
Pineh Bali Tours
Incredible place with incredible people, doing great work. We got a great insight into organic farming and how to cook with fresh Indonesian ingredients.
Mai Organic Farm

Philippines 🥭🐓
So many natural delights in the Philippines.
Gorgeous stay in Moalboal, Cebu. Quiet secluded location, yet close to the main street.

The cutest animals I’ve ever seen were in Bohol, please support their conservation efforts!
Philippine Tarsier Sanctuary
One of the best things we did in the Philippines, such a laugh! You’re in a carousel line of swimming, walking and jumping, but when you look up you realise how gorgeous the natural scenery really is. I’d never jumped from rocks before but this felt ...

Turns out I did more wakeboarding than surfing in Siargao! Hugely addictive, and once a week you can go wakeboard for the mere price of a beer.

Malaysia 🦧🪭
Malaysia has beautiful spots, I’ve been to Sabah (Borneo rainforest), Semporna, and Kuala Lumpur.
This is where you can support turtle conservation and witness the release of baby turtles they’ve grown in their hatchery.

We ate here almost every night in Semporna.
