      Phuket

      February 16 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

      Entered into this country in the most chaotic, heat blazing, touristic part of Thailand, patong beach. It was interesting but definitely not my favorite place. Luckily, I have a couple of friends who live in Phuket, so it was a good time overall.

      I went on a day trip to Koh Phi Phi island and saw Maya Bay. It was super touristy, so it was a little hard to enjoy the beaches, but I'll admit Maya Bay is gorgeous, the best sand I've ever stepped on. It was like walking on butter. The engine on our boat pooped out at one point, though, and some people were freaking out lol. We snorkled, which was nice, but one girl right behind me who didn't know how to swim was screaming bloody murder as if she was already drowning even though she had a lifevest and floating device on her. Met a nice Australian couple, though.

      Met Dada and his friends/clients, Michael from Australia, Dillon from Edmonton, and Steve from Australia. It was fun because without them, I would have never been on this street. It was fun to experience bangla road with them, right up until my interview, lol.

      The next day, I went up north a bit to stay 1 night in bangtao beach. It was a bit calmer and the beach there was nice, even though I got stung by a jellyfish. I saw my friend, Catherine, and I got to take a muay thai class, which was a really good experience. The coaches were great, and it was a cool gym to check out. That night, I watched the fights that the gym held, and I was asked to be a ring girl for them! I got free merchandise and an event out of it.

      Boat trip to Khai islands

      December 24, 2021 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

      Hired a longtail boat from Captain E on the beach and went for a tour of Khai islands, three small islands not too far from ours. Beaut and deserted (until one big boat tour at the first). Chilled on sunloungers, wandered around and swam at the first, then a couple of snorkelling sessions around the second island (coral v bleached but lots of cool fish), then a final island and lunch and fresh pineapple 🍍 to finish it off.Read more
