Krabi, Thailand is a tropical paradise that is often overlooked by tourists in favour of more popular destinations like Phuket and Bangkok. But this particular province holds a special place in my heart – so much so that I chose to make it my home for over 2 years. Krabi is not somewhere you fall in love with immediately. At first glance, it looks like your standard gateway stop point – offering connections to a lot of the paradise islands seen across movies and social media accounts (are we too far along to be referencing ‘The Beach’ nowadays?) However, scratch the surface and you’ll find some of the most exciting…

Khaothong Hill Restaurant – Aonang’s best hidden gem
Khaothong Hill Restaurant, located in the popular tourist destination of Ao Nang in Krabi, Thailand, is a hidden gem that offers staggering sunset views of the surrounding islands and the Andaman Sea. This hill (and its accompanying cafe) are a must-visit for anyone looking for a unique and scenic experience that’s slightly off the beaten path. Whilst the viewpoint is still (in my mind) a lesser-known haunt of beautiful Krabi, its popularity is quickly growing as TikTok travellers post about its purple sky scenes and space to sit down for a fantasy day of remote working. You’ll get a quick preview of the spectacular sunset we got during our visit…

Best places to stay in Bangkok | By Bangkok Travel Point

It brings together history and modernity, reflects the past and, at the same time, takes visitors on a trip to the future.This sprawling metropolis is full of intriguing contrasts and forever changing.

Thailand Backpacking Route
Choosing a Thailand backpacking route can be difficult, especially given the wide range of tourist attractions on offer. The country relies heavily on tourism and, as a result, offers travellers hundreds of budget activity choices including museums, palaces, Buddhist temples, beaches, World Heritage sites and cooking classes. If you’re going to Thailand, I recommend you take AT LEAST 2 weeks to do so. With this kind of time frame, you’d be able to catch a good little preview of what the country has to offer. For me, your Thailand route comes down to one main question: North or South Thailand? North Thailand The less obvious of the two. Most new travellers know less about…

Bucket list locations: White temple, Chiang Rai
The White temple (Wat Rong Khun), in Chiang Rai, Thailand, is possibly one of the most beautiful pieces of architecture I’ve ever seen. The worst bit? I only got to visit it by chance, when my connection bus on the way to the Thai border made a stop there. I’d heard about it, but hadn’t been ‘sold it’ enough to make the journey to see it. I’m going to try make the sell to you now!!!! The temple is actually privately owned, after a local artist decided to fund the rebuilding of the very run down structure, using his own money. He now intends for the area adjacent to the…
