Chiang Mai, Pai and Chiang Rai - Our Last Few Stops Before Laos
After swapping beaches for cities, and heading for the mountains, we fell in love with Chiang Mai, had the most chilled out time in Pai, and checked out Chalermchai Kositpipat’s quirky temple: Wat Rong Khun in Chiang Rai.
Central Thailand: Bangkok and Ayutthaya
From the modern and very crowded City of Bangkok, to the calm, ancient City of Ayutthaya, one factor remained true for both: we weren’t short of temples to visit!

A two day treat away from the hustle and bustle of busy towns and cities, we spent time in the tranquil setting of Khao Sok National Park; a nature-lover’s paradise.
We’re off to the Beach! Phi Phi, Ao Nang and Island Hopping
Beaches, hikes, sunsets and some pretty shoddy tours - welcome to Koh Phi Phi, the surrounding islands and all they have to offer.
Phuket, We’re in Thailand!
We made it to the country we’d be spending our first full month in, and Thailand did not disappoint! From beautiful beaches to quaint boutique shops and craft beer bars, we felt right at home.
