“Trust your feet and let your legs take your weight,” my guide shouted from beneath me. Trust my feet? ‘Trusting my feet’ was a totally new concept for me. I can trust my hands because they’re bendy and flexible and they’re right there in front of my eyes but my feet are just ugly stumps …
Thailand
Nothing can induce the jealousy in me like someone who lives in Thailand. Yes, actually lives in Thailand. And that includes all Thai people because Thailand is one of my favourite countries in the world. That’s why I’m really pleased to have an Insider’s Guide to Chiang Mai on the blog this week. Big thanks …
Today I’d like to share some of my top travel tips for your first trip to Thailand. If I’m ever asked where my favourite place is in the world (and I’m asked this a lot!) I always say Thailand. Thailand has it all with incredible beaches, vibrant cities, loads of interesting history and culture, the …
Today’s post comes from Marie Pottiez as she shares her top things to do in Bangkok if you’re a first-time visitor. Bangkok is a crazy, hectic but incredible city so big thanks to Marie for simplifying what a first-time visitor to Bangkok should see and do! Marie is a blogger and an artist and she’s shared a …
Thailand is one of my favourite counties in the world. It’s a bold statement to make when there are so many incredible places but there aren’t many that could beat Thailand to the top of the list. I know it’s an old cliché but Thailand really does have everything. Bangkok is a chaotic but exciting …
It’s not often you find somewhere quiet in a city as loud and brash as Bangkok, but stepping behind the grassy wall to the Maduzi Hotel, you could be forgiven for forgetting that you’re in the second largest metropolis in Southeast Asia. But here I am after a 22 hour stretch from my door in West …
I had just spent 5 weeks at a fitness camp in Phuket, Thailand. My body was aching and I was in dire need of a rest, so I booked myself in for a few days of R&R at Layana Resort & Spa, Ko Lanta. Ko Lanta is one of the last remaining quiet spots in the Andaman …
We left the Cliff and River Jungle Resort and headed to Arts River Lodge in Khao Sok National Park for another amazingly unique but completely different experience. Arts River Lodge is further into the lush national park and we were staying in a tree house in the midst of the dense forest. I used to beg …
After a few days relaxing on Ko Phi Phi Don, the largest of the Phi Phi islands in southern Thailand, we decided to get adventurous and visit some of the uninhabited islands that surround. Koh Phi Phi Leh, the film location from The Beach, was the place we all wanted to see most but the surrounding …
This week’s #Friday Photos come from the most amazing and relaxing place I’ve ever come across. We stumbled across these traditional A-frame bungalows in Koh Lanta and couldn’t resist staying for a night. This night inevitably turned into a week purely because the bungalows were so quaint and the beach was so amazingly beautiful. Working away on my laptop. …
Almost everyone who visits Bangkok ends up going to Tiger Temple and most people aren’t entirely sure how they feel about it.
Cliff and River Jungle Resort is located in the heart of the rainforest in Khao Sok National Park, Southern Thailand. It’s surrounded by limestone cliffs that tower so high it’s a genuine strain on your neck and there is nothing but lush greenness all around. There are gorgeous little huts dotted around the immaculately kept …
Khao Sok National Park is one of my favourite places in Thailand and that’s saying something when you consider the fact that Thailand is my favourite country in the world. It’s a reserve in Surat Thani, southern Thailand, and has some of the country’s best preserved jungles and wildlife. A huge artificial lake was created …
