I’m not entirely sure if I really knew what to expect from Bangkok before we got there. But it’s got it’s stuff sorted (mostly), and if you’re anything like us, you’ll have fun. Here are our top 5 reasons to visit Bangkok.
Thailand
Koh Samui – Where the Roti Pancakes are good
Koh Samui or Samui, is a bit of a magical island in the gulf of Thailand and lucky for me, one of my childhood besties has just happened to set up home there. Perfect excuse to leave the mainland behind to enjoy a few days in another new place. Here’s how we got there, what […]
Koh Phangan – You don’t even need the Full Moon Party to have a good time
When you tell people you’ve been to Koh Phangan, the first thing they want to know about is how the Full Moon party was – truth is, we didn’t go. We hadn’t done too much research into the island, but because we’re not really into painting ourselves with highlighter and drinking cocktails out of buckets […]
Where to eat and drink in Koh Samui
We spent a full three days in Koh Samui, riding around the island on a hired scooter and eating all the food and drinking all the cocktails we could get our grubby hands on. Here is our wrap up of where we ate in Koh Samui.

10 must do activities in Chiang Mai
Chiang Mai is one of our favourite ever cities and there’s so much to do or see that we stayed here longer than anywhere else on our South East Asia trip. Not only is it the coffee and café capital of Thailand, there’s heaps of activities to do that don’t include eating. Here’s our 10 […]
Chiang Mai – A coffee lovers heaven
The northern city of Chiang Mai is pretty special. There’s good coffee everywhere and a bunch of cafes to get it. We love our coffee and because there’s no end of places to pick up an iced cold or velvety smooth coffee, it’s pretty much a hipster-coffee-loving-paradise. Here’s the list of the places we hit up and would go back to.
Phi Phi Island – We mostly stayed inside
This makes me sad. We arrived at one of the most beautiful places in Thailand and found out the consequences of a, traveling in the rainy season and b, eating bacteria-laden chicken. If there’s somewhere we could go back to and do over, Phi Phi would be it. We loved the place and wish we […]
Where to eat and drink in Phuket
We love Thai food and were so excited to arrive in Phuket. We had mentally prepared for the best Thai of our lives, actually in Thailand. We have a great local Thai restaurant in Auckland, so expected this and the rest. We ate as we went and tried the food in Karon, Patong and Phuket […]
Probably won’t go back – Phuket
Before you wonder what the heck kinda travel blog this is and stop reading, don’t. Just because it wouldn’t be on the top of our list for places to go back to, doesn’t mean we didn’t have a good time. Is it our favourite place? No. Were the beaches the best we’ve seen? No. Did […]
