Thailand is hands down one of my favourite countries. A backpacker staple, it’s easy to stick to a well-trodden path, but just as easy to stray from it! There are so many more places I want to visit here, but Thailand gave us some of the best experiences we’ll ever have on our travels.

I had been looking forward to Koh Lanta for a long time. It was one of the first places in Thailand to go on our itinerary after reading rave reviews on other blogs, and I was excited to get over to the Andaman coast for the brochure views of Thailand that we hadn’t seen yet. …
We knew we’d love Koh Tao. Before arriving in Asia, it was somewhere we had barely heard of and not really considered visiting, apart from the fact a couple of friends had recommended it. But those friends had recommended it for diving; something I’m not particularly interested in as I have a mild fear of …
It was time to head south to the islands – and we had timed it all down to a tee to make sure we got to Koh Phangan for the famous backpacker staple known as the Full Moon Party. I was especially excited because some of our friends from Elephant Nature Park were going to …

If there’s one thing I’m known for among friends, it’s doing stupid things. And taking stupid pictures. And being stupid. So when our friend in Chiang Mai told us about this snap-happy museum, I jumped at the chance to take some silly photos! Is this somewhere you’d like to go?!
A few years ago, a friend of mine spent a week at a great organisation in northern Thailand called Elephant Nature Park, and for the following weeks and months, she continued to shout her praises for the founder and has been back a couple of times since. I knew straight away that I’d love to …

The 70 baht cocktails seemed like a great idea at the time, especially drinking them until 3am when we had to be up early for a flight… After spending almost three solid days soaking wet, we miraculously …
As pained as we felt to leave Siem Reap behind, we had one huge reason to get to Bangkok: SONGKRAN! Songkran is Thailand’s crazy new year celebration, and they signify cleansing by pouring water on each other; the water brings you good luck for the next year. It sounds calm and peaceful, but make no …
