I have had many people ask me about ‘the pink temple with a dragon around it’. This one is actually Wat Samphran that has gathered some popularity in the recent past. But it is still not mainstream. And it’s hard to reach. So you may find it all to yourself. But is...

That’s because not many tourists go that way. It is more of a local hotspot than an international destination. But you will find all the throbbing pubs, bars, a raving nightlife, busy restaurants and of course, paradise-like coral...

It got its raging popularity from the movie ‘The Beach’ starring Leonardo Dicaprio. Maya Bay was a popular spot for a day trip from Ko Phi Phi. But just like the island of Ko Phi Phi, the place was...

Of course, there is usually a thin chance that your vacation and festival dates will collide. But even so, very few people look up for any upcoming event. Attending a festive celebration in another country is not only exhilarating...

I have been here for a year and I am still not able to do them all. And with time, I keep finding more things to do that I never knew existed here. I decided to put my bucket list here. And you are...

If you have been there, you know that. If not, you can look up online. Of course, it has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. But ugh, they can be unbelievably crowded at times. Some people like it that way. Especially occupied by a younger crowd and...

It is not that these are not popular. But it takes some time and effort to reach there. Moreover, very few backpackers are acquainted with the abundance of lovely National Parks in Thailand. The locals specifically love them for the opportunity to...

It was just another village in the hilly interiors of the northern highlands of Thailand. Sure some people stayed there, but no one will go out of their way to visit Pai. Forget about then, even now the locals don’t care much for the place....
