Island Magic in Koh Phi Phi

We arrived at my favorite destination so far, and it did not disappoint. The water was absolutely stunning, clear and turquoise as far as the eye could see. We had some free time upon arrival, so Ofe and I decided to take a walk around the island, soaking in the sights and indulging in a little shopping spree—we just can't resist a good market. Afterward, we enjoyed a delicious dinner followed by an incredible fire show. The night ended with a round of truth or dare, which led to one of the girls standing on the table belting out One Direction songs—definitely a memorable moment!

The next morning, we set off on a boat trip to the iconic Maya Bay. We got up close with the monkeys by going into the water, which was an unforgettable experience. From there, we headed to another spot for some swimming and snorkeling. We saw incredible marine life, including baby sharks, clownfish, and moorish idols. The boat trip itself was a bit of a wild ride with a storm approaching, and we were all tossed around by the waves. To keep our spirits up, we belted out songs, laughing through the bumps.

The following morning, we set out for the long trek up to the Phi Phi Viewpoint, one of the island's most famous spots. The climb was steep, but the reward at the top was totally worth it. We just barely missed the rain, but as soon as we reached the summit, the clouds rolled in and trapped us at the top for about ten minutes. The views were still incredible, we could see the whole island laid out beneath us, but the weather had a bit of a dramatic flair, adding to the adventure. As the rain passed and the air cooled, we made our way back down, feeling like we’d earned the stunning view and a moment of peace before the storm hit.

Koh Phi Phi has certainly stolen my heart with its breathtaking beauty and unforgettable moments. I can't wait to return!

Phuket Finale: Street Food, Elephants, and Lasting Memories

Image
Phuket was our final destination, and it definitely lived up to the hype. We arrived in the evening and after settling in, decided to dive straight into the local night markets. The variety of food on offer was incredible—we couldn’t resist sampling everything from sushi to fresh fruit shakes. Both Ofe and I ended up spending a fair bit, so we grabbed a full spread to take back to the hotel for a cozy Netflix binge. It was the perfect way to kick off our time in Phuket. The next morning, we had the experience of a lifetime—the Hidden Forest Elephant Reserve. This was something we’d both been eagerly anticipating. Our visit began with an informative session that highlighted the importance of sanctuaries and the issues elephants face in industries like logging and entertainment. The reserve houses six elephants: Nong Fai, Nam Paerng, Gaw Boon, Ton Oi, Wassana, and Sudjai. We got the chance to feed them bananas and sugarcane while learning more about their personalities and backgrounds. I...

Jungle Adventures in Khao Sok National Park

After a long overnight train we finally arrived at Khao Sok National Park, ready to explore one of Thailand’s hidden gems. We kicked off with a scenic ride in a longtail boat, cutting through emerald-green waters and flanked by towering limestone cliffs, until we reached our first unique accommodation: floating bungalows. Each bungalow came with its own kayak, and the chance to go tubing was irresistible! We spent the afternoon in the water, enjoying the surreal experience of being surrounded by such serene beauty. Later, we set off on another boat ride, this time to try our luck at some monkey spotting. We soaked up the views while drifting along the lake, and that evening, enjoyed a buffet-style dinner back at the bungalows—just the right way to refuel after a day on the water. The next morning, we moved deeper into the jungle to a family-run sustainable farm, where we were given a tour and treated to lunch made from ingredients they grew themselves.The experience felt authentic and ...
