Day 2
Bangkok here we go...
December 19, 2023 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
Had a decent bus ride to the hostel, where a short nap was more than necessary 😄
Been strolling around the city for a couple of hours afterwards, realizing that it seems like each street seems to have a main branch of shops there. 🤷🏼‍♀️ after heading down a street full of mechanics and spareparts (unfortunately no engine for me there 🙄) I passed one where the theme obviously was selling all kinds of guns and weapons 🙈
However, enjoyed bird sounds in small park and two temples. And most of all my delicious dinner 🤩

Day 3
Woke up in Bangkok...
December 20, 2023 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
After checking out Khaosan road (THE backpacker area in town) yesterday night 🍻🥳 I woke up later than planned - but hey, I'm on travels, so no need to stress out anyways 🤭
Took me some time to get out bed, since a friend from home called, so I only got on the road in the early afternoon. But again - who cares?! 😆
Walked down to Wat Pho, the most famous temple in Bangkok with its lying Buddha, which is 15m high and 46m long. And what should I say - it was really impressive 🏯 Too bad the pictures can't really capture all those vivid colours and charming details. ✨️

Day 4
Bangkok 3/3
December 21, 2023 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
After packing and doing the checkout of my dorm this morning, I decided to go to the Grand Palace and Wat Arun (another temple) for my last day in Bangkok. 👑🏯
The palace was really stunning, behind every corner there was another magnificent building. Like yesterday at Wat Pho, the colours were breathtaking, even though the palace was a bit posh to be honest. 🤏🏻
For getting to Wat Arun, I took the water taxi, which is very popular to do in Bangkok. The ride only took a couple of minutes, but was pretty fun! 🚤
Wat Arun itself was very impressive as well...different to the other temples but still nice to visit and walk around for a bit.
Headed back to the hostel rather early in order to check everything and get ready for my 10h busride to Chiang Mai this night! 🚌🙈
My résumé about Bangkok: it's been nice to start here and spend a couple of days in town to see all the main sights and wander around a bit. But 3 days is definitely enough for me in this town 🙃

Day 5
Chiang Mai - temples, temples, temples
December 22, 2023 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
The busride to Chiang Mai was actually more pleasant & comfy than expected. There was enough room to properly lay back the seats, and even a footrest was there. Soon after the start I cuddled up in the blanket that was provided, read a few pages of a downloaded book and fell asleep quiet soon. 😴
We arrived shortly before 7a.m. in Chiang Mai, where I wanted to take a typical Songthaew (like a tuk tuk for 6-8 persons) to get to the hostel. But since it took too long to depart (I waited for around 30 mins) I decided to walk to the city center - thanks to my impatience and inability to cope with inefficiency 😅
However, I felt like moving anyways, so I just started walking. With my 20kg backpacks those 50 mins almost felt like a little workout 🏋🏼‍♀️

After refreshing and changing outfit (miahli - just for you!!) at the hostel I once again just started strolling around the city center. Oh boy, how I love just walking around with a rough direction and then accidentially passing by real gems like this enchanted temple you see in pics no. 8&9 🥰🤩
Chiang Mai is way more chilled and less crowded than Bangkok - really nice to be here 😊

Traveler Hi Eva, I’m following you now! Please accept me as following! Anyhow are temples basically a ‘church’? Can you take pics of the inside of them? Are people inside praying or meditating? Linda

Day 6
Holy trinity - food, nature, running 🥰
December 23, 2023 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
This morning I did a Thai cooking class. After going to a local market we drove to the organic farm, where we got some insights on the herbs and veggies that are growing in the garden of the farm 🥭🌶👩🏼‍🌾
Then we finally started cooking - we prepared spring rolls, a curry, a stir fry and a soup 🍲🥣🥡🥟 all of it just tasted delicious, but was so much that I took half of it home with me 😅🤰🏼

For the afternoon I decided to do the monk trail, which starts at the outskirt of Chiang Mai. Really enjoyed hiking a bit and exploring Wat Phra Lat and Wat Anagami, two temples located in the middle of the woods. 🌾🌿
And since the distance to the hostel wasn't too far, I did a nice & relaxing run back into the city center 🥰🏃🏼‍♀️
Since it was saturday, I checked out the famous night market in the evening - such a busy place to be! 😄

Day 7
Chiang Rai - Frohe Thainachten 🎄✨️
December 24, 2023 in Thailand ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
After a relaxing morning at Chiang Mai I took the bus to Chiang Rai in the early afternoon and arrived there at around 6 p.m. 🚌
As usual, I started walking to get familiar with the city and accidentially ran by a church with a cute little "christmas market" - so Frohe Thainachten in Chiang Rai 😆🎄 Checked out the night bazar to grab some food and then went to the flower festival with Sam from the hostel. 🌸🌺🌷 And woah, it's chill up here! That was the coldest moped ride I had since being in Thailand 🥶
However, the festival was quiet nice, even though it almost ended when we arrived 🤷🏼‍♀️🙃

Day 8
Bye Thailand - hello Laos! 🤩
December 25, 2023 in Thailand ⋅ 🌙 17 °C
Got up rather early this morning to visit the blue temple in Chiang Rai before heading off to the border of Laos. And it was so worth it! That temple was really cool to see! 🤩🏯
Took the local bus to the border afterwards, which was one of those with natural air condition - since the doors are left open during the ride. 😉 had a nice talk there with a super cute woman - even though we didn't speak each others language at all 😊
Boarder control was easy, also accidentially met Sam at the boarder, which was super fun because we missed each other at the hostel this morning 😄
Finally arrived in Huayxai in the early afternoon and only did some organizational stuff like withdrawing cash (being a millionaire now as 1€ equals 20.000 KIP 😂), checking the slow boat, etc.
And enjoyed the sunset with view at the Mekong River and the Thai side of it - with great 90s music (Cher, Usher, Nelly - all there 🤩😆)! Cheers to that! 🌅🍻

Day 10
Travelling by Slow boat 🛶🐢
December 27, 2023 in Laos ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Yesterday and today were two travel days on the slow boat on the Mekong river from Huayxai to Luang Prabang with an overnight stay in Pakbeng. 🛶
I didn't expect too much of the slow boat since you're stuck on the boat for around 7 hours each day. 🐢
But oh wow...it was simply amazing and I enjoyed every single minute of it! 🤩
The first day we had a rather big boat which was only half filled, so almost everyone had two seats to make it comfy and enjoy the ride and the beautiful scenery. I couldn't even read more than 5 pages of my e-book in a row as I've always been captivated by the sorrounding nature of Thailand on the one side of the river and Laos on the other one. 🧭
For the night in Pakbeng I stayed in a - let's call in very rural - room, which was ok for one night, but I was also happy that I didn't have to stay longer 😄 but hey, at least I had the best curry so far in that town, so it was worth it! 🍲

The second day we had a much smaller boat, with pretty much all the seats being occupied. At one point I realized that there was kind of a nice space in the back of the boat, so I decided to move there and enjoy the scenic panorama and the sunshine from the floor in the back, rather than sitting on my soft but shadowy place in the front of the boat. It was way louder because it's been close to the engine, but whatever - just put the earphones on and turn up the music 🎶
This second day was even more beautiful and breathtaking than the first one...I literally spent the whole ride just watching the nature around me...it was magic 🌾🌴🐂 This whole trip felt just like pure freedom and liberty - there's nowhere else I'd rather have been 🥰
Also met some nice people on the boat, who I spent the evening with at the nightmarket in Luang Prabang 🍛🍹

Day 11
Luang Prabang - splish splash 🏞 💦
December 28, 2023 in Laos ⋅ 🌙 15 °C
For today I had planned to go to the Kuang Si waterfalls with a bunch of people I met yesterday at the night market.
It was such a wonderful trip 🤩 the tuktuk ride up there was freezing 🥶 but a couple of minutes after we arrived, the sun started to make its way out. 😎
We passed a bear sanctuary on the way up 🐻 before getting to the waterfalls. That atmosphere...oh boy, I'm just so in love with Laos 🥰
After a short hike up the waterfall was a swing, which was just too tempting not to get on 😄 the water was nicely cold, just the way I like it - so perfect for a short dip 🐬
In the afternoon I visited the UXO ( museum with Sophie. Super interesing, but also kind of sad to see how many undetected bombs there still are in Laos and what those weapons are still doing to people here.... 😑
Dinner has once again been taken at the night market in very good company from the waterfall trip 🥟🥣🍻
