Thailand Travel Guide
Thailand is a special country for us, as it’s where we met back in 2014. So excuse our biased summary! But seriously Thailand is the place to go if you want warm weather, stunning beaches, great parties, cheap food, cheap accommodation and cheap everything! It isn’t known for the land of smiles for nothing. Its history and culture is deeply imbedded in society. Hence, temples and palaces are scattered around the country, it’ll be hard to visit this stunning place without seeing one.
Chiang Mai to the north, is a nature lovers dream, with beautiful forests, elephants and great hiking trails. In addition, Bangkok is great if you want to visit the famous Grand Palace, floating markets or the infamous Khao San Road. The island of Koh Tao is a scuba divers dream. And the island of Koh Phangan hosts the infamous Full Moon Party every month.
