Our six weeks in Thailand were full of little surprises that quickly became part of our every day lives. Here are 10 things I learned – both trivial and important. 1. There are 7-Elevens EVERYWHERE Sometimes several in one small street. This is Thailand’s main convenience store and you can do absolutely anything there – a …
Our final two days in Thailand involved a lot of travelling, much to Ash’s annoyance. The reason behind this was that a friend of mine from school is teaching in Thailand, and it seemed silly not to visit him. We had ended up arranging to meet at a beach party he was going to in …
On to one of our final destinations in Thailand: Krabi. Though there isn’t a whole lot to do in the town itself, it’s surrounded by some of the most beautiful places in Thailand and I couldn’t wait to visit. We were sad to leave Koh Lanta for several reasons: our hostel family were so incredibly …
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.

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 …
After an incredible week at Elephant Nature Park and some sad goodbyes at the end, it was time to head south again for island hopping. But first, we had a final couple of days in Chiang Mai followed by a quick stop in Bangkok with a side order of Thailand’s ancient capital, Ayutthaya. We arrived …
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 …
Our Songkran madness continued in northern Thailand, in the city of Chiang Mai, with a HUGE, stinking hangover. 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 …
