Bangkok

And of course we had to go to Bangkok. But we weren't really into the big city thing, so we only stayed one night, which was enough for us! We went to the palace, some markets, and took some pictures of the lake, and that's about it for us.











And right after Bangkok, it was our flight to our home! Bye bye Thailand, bye bye Korea! Click here to read more

SNUBA at Koh Racha

We went SNUBAing at Koh Racha. It was the BEST experience ever! We have never scubaed, and in fact, only went snorkeling a few days ago at the Simba trip, so we were very new. But it was so much fun! SNUBAing is pretty much like scubaing, except your tank is floating on the surface, and you are connected by your air tube.

So that way, you have more freedom of movement, and perfect for beginners. We saw so many things! We even fed the fish bananas! It was so much fun! Definitely a recommendation.

Phang Nga Bay

We also took a daytrip with Simba to Phang Nga Bay. It was also very cool, we went into a cave, went sea kayaking, and had lunch and toured a village built on stilts. We also visited James Bond island, which was full of tourists. We ended with a nice island with gorgeous white sand beaches to relax and rewind.

Koh Phi Phi

Koh Phi Phi, the infamous Maya Bay (from The Beach). Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous. Yes, it was very very touristy, but it was still absolutely beautiful there. The cleanest, bluest waters ever, the soft white sands, the islands. It was wonderful.

We went to Koh Phi Phi through a tour from Simba Sea Trips. HIGHLY recommended. They took us to a lot of different islands, offered us snorkeling equipment, fed us a yummy lunch, and also had tons of fresh fruit and drinks for us the entire day. It was awesome.

Koh Yao Noi

After Chiang Mai, we headed to Koh Yao Noi. This was a small fishing island off the coast of Phuket, but it's very untouristy - in fact, while we were there, sometimes we were the only people in certain restaurants, and walking around, there wasn't many tourists. It was a mainly backpacker type travelers here, because it's mostly bungalows. The beach was nice during high tide, but it was very rocky/muddy during low tide. Also, there was a ton of mosquitoes, but still, the peace and quiet was nice, and the scenery and having almost the whole beach to yourself. Priceless.
