On our first day in Chiang Mai we decided to try out the prison massage. We had to book a few hours in advance, however, so we decided to wander the city and see what we could find.
Travel
Stories of my travels around the world.
Learning Cabaret is a Life
While wandering Koh Tao we were handed a flyer for the Queen’s Cabaret. This is the local drag queen show. We were interested, but were unsure if it would be worth seeing.
Hiking to the Top of Koh Tao
I had to do at least one hike in Koh Tao. We decide to pick a route that would take us to the top of the island.
Too Late to Build a Sandcastle?
Sometimes we assume that parts of our childhood are universal, that everyone has experienced. It’s easy to forget that things that seem so normal to you aren’t normal to you. To not realise that some parts of your childhood have not been experienced by others around the world.
Blue Seas and a Blue Lagoon
Sometimes it’s easier to have a day planned for you. In Koh Phangan we wanted to try some kayaking, so we booked a tour that would allow us to do so. We spent most of the day on the water, exploring a few islands we never even though to visit.
Stories from Koh Phangan
We did a lot of interesting things while on Koh Phangan. A lot of it not really worth a full article to talk about. So here’s a short photo journal of some of the things we got up to before we set sail for Koh Tao.
Phaeng Waterfall Nature Trail
This scenic waterfall trail is one of many places you can hike on Koh Phangan island. While it wasn’t really flowing due to us being there at the beginning of the rainy season, we still took the time to explore some of the more natural parts of this party island.
The Animals of Koh Phangan
When you travel around any country, especially a country with a different climate than your own, you will encounter many new animals. These animals, though mundane to the locals, can be exciting to see for any tourist.
Partying at Haad Yuan Beach
After spending some time in Koh Samui we got a boat to Koh Phangan to visit some friends. Except we got the wrong boat. After arriving at Surat Thani, we got on another boat to Koh Phangan, making extra sure it was the right one this time.
The Other Na Mueng Waterfall
We wanted to go for a hike while we were on Koh Samui, and we wanted to see a waterfall. So we set off to Na Mueng to see it. Only it wasn’t the right Na Mueng.
