Tantalizing Thailand!
So yet again, we packed our bags and opted for Thai Airways that offers a direct flight service to Bangkok. This airline makes sure that all your needs are met, from the seats that offer more legroom to the very professional and attentive staff who made sure that we arrived fresh at every destination. Bangkok is one of those cities that never sleeps and so we never slept. As usual, we roamed the streets, day and night to smell, taste, feel and see all the wonders of the hospitable and extremely friendly Thai people. We could not get enough of the Singa beer, the incredible tasty noodles of the street vendors, the hours spent in the massage parlours, the rich legacy of the Thai culture and of course the insane shopping.
The capital of Bangkok is an astonishing city of neon lights, soaring skyscrapers and crazy energy, intertwined with deep spirituality and century-old traditions. Here you’ll stumble across everything from enormous shopping malls to floating markets, to magnificent temples to chic hotels and clubs, to electrifying Thai boxing matches to Saffron-robed monks collecting their daily alms. Bangkok is unforgettable! After our three days in Bangkok, we wanted to relax, so we took a flight to Phuket and then the ferry to Phi Phi Island. Once a backpacker’s best kept secret, this island is one of the most pristine, tropical islands in the Andaman Sea. For 5 days, we enjoyed the beauty of swimming in luke warm water, soaking up the sun, strolling the picture perfect beaches, snorkelling around Phi Phi Leh and enjoying long evenings of fire shows on the beach. Taking a long tail boat around Phi Phi Don is a must. The classic butterfly shape of Phi Phi Don, with its two distinctive back-to-back bays is one of the world’s most spectacular destinations. Beautiful Thailand will definitely see me again!
