So here comes the last stage of this trip across Thailand with my parents, Hua Hin, a seaside resort quite well-known to Bangkokians but less sulphurous and more peaceful than Pattaya.
It's already time to return to Bangkok, almost marking the end of this (admittedly long) trip. Last stop to come, Hua Hin and in particular the Sam Roi Yod National Park where we had also gone with Jitima a few
Nang Yuan is a group of two small paradise islands adjacent to Ko Tao in the Gulf of Thailand. It's a must-see if you're staying in the area, as the scenery is truly incredible, despite the "tourist spot" aspect of
So here's a whole day dedicated to swimming, and more specifically to observing the reefs of Ko Tao. For 800 baht per person, we had booked directly from our hotel. Unfortunately, what I will remember from this day is
Discovering the island on foot A short, leisurely walk for this day after struggling to book our return trip to Bangkok. In fact, I had originally booked plane tickets from Surat Thani to return to Bangkok.
We have just arrived on the island of Ko Tao, north of Ko Phangan. We had a good part of the afternoon left to go for a little walk once we had dropped off our luggage at the hotel, the island being smaller.
This day marked the transition between Ko Phangan and Ko Tao. I was quite eager to discover this island because yes, it was the first time I would set foot on Tao, there are still so many others after all
Attempt to explore the island The objective of this day was to visit the east coast of the island which I do not know at all and more particularly the village of Ban Thong Nai Pan and its two beaches Thong Nai Pan Noi
That day, my parents had also rented a scooter, and although it was only the second time my father had driven such a machine, we set off to explore the island, which is not really recommended for beginner drivers. Driving slowly
After a meal at a restaurant on our beach, Jitima and I would hop on our rental scooter to “get some fresh air”.
A real lazy day, just the beach, swimming and a nap, what more could you ask for!
Heading south, more precisely to the island of Ko Phangan, for the continuation of this family vacation. A rediscovery four years after our first visit to this Gulf island.
As we finally returned to Bangkok after 10 days in the north of the country, I stopped by the city center to take care of my faulty lens. While most of the festivities take place on April 13th, today is the 14th.
Here we are, it's April 13th, Thai New Year's Day, at the time we leave for Sukhothai city, thinking that the festivities would take place in the area everything still seemed relatively calm, we will not see
Back on the road, we went to where we had come across preparations for the Thai New Year, sensing that something was going to happen. Which it did, as we saw a long parade of people in costumes.
After Si Satchanalai head to the "Baan Had Siew textile village" also called the Gold textile Museum, and it is indeed more of a museum than a village, it is a reproduction of wooden houses with the typical equipment for weaving and the
Today we headed a little further north, towards the Si Satchanalai Historical Park, about 50km from Sukhothai. The main part is slightly smaller but it is still worth the detour. The walk can be done
For this day we were waiting for the visit to the historical park of Sukhothai, a park that I had just visited with Jitima last July, this did not prevent me from taking a whole bunch of photos
In this second part of the day we therefore joined Lampang to Sukhothai, a journey of about 3 hours (and a few), without counting the stops obviously. The timing was relatively good because we arrived in time to visit the northern part of the park
For this day on the road our destination was Sukhothai, but having Lampang included on the route we made a small detour to Wat Phra That Lampang Luang before reaching the ancient capital, where we will spend the festivities
