Koh Tao is the best place to learn to scuba dive for a lot of reasons. Everything from water temperature to the numerous dive sites makes this little island in the Gulf of Thailand the perfect playground for a beginner. I learned to dive there and it was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. The introductory class is…
I’m a sucker for a good view, and honestly my favorite part about hiking is the view you get when you get to the top. Koh Tao has quite a few mountains for being such a small island, and I made it my mission to check out the views from as many peaks as possible. These are my 3 favorite…
I’m going to start out with a confession, I packed way too many toiletries for our trip around the world. A lot of the things I packed I, a) didn’t need at all, or b) could have easily bought while abroad. I also brought more than one of one thing, while not bring any of another thing, like 2 shampoo’s…
Before going anywhere I definitely get a little fantasy about how great and wonderful it’s going to be. Thailand was no different, I probably watched the movie “The Beach” one too many times and figured Thailand would be all exciting adventures and beautiful beaches. And to be fair, it is those things, but it’s also still a country with quirks,…
Koh Tao is a pretty little island located in the Gulf of Thailand, and a great reprieve from the craziness of Bangkok. It’s one of those places people come to for a couple of days and end up extending their stay so that they can keep on enjoying it’s beautiful beaches and laid back vibes. Unlike it’s neighboring islands of…
I love doing city tours when I get somewhere new, it gives me a good sense and feel for the city. Rob, however is a more explore on your own sort of dude, but I was able to convince him that a night time tuk tuk tour of Bangkok would be cool. Probably because the tour is pretty different from…
So this a little collection of short stories of things that have happened while we’ve been on the road but aren’t really big enough to warrant their own blog post. But the stories are amusing, and I felt like sharing them. Seeing Harry Potter in London Both Rob and I are Harry Potter fans, we both have read all the…
If you are looking for hip bars, fancy eateries, and good brunch spots look no further than the streets of Ekkamai and Thonglor. While not really a neighborhood in the western sense of the word, Ekkamai and Thonglor are two streets that run parallel to each other on the south side of Bangkok. The streets are known for upscale restaurants,…
So I have a guilty pleasure, and it’s trying out new or different beauty products. So when I was at the pharmacy the other day, some Thai face masks caught my eye and I figured I should try them out. I made a silly little video of it, so enjoy, hopefully you find it funny too! You can find all…
In general I try to avoid the super touristy type attractions, I don’t really like being herded around in big crowds. That being said, sometimes there are certain things you just have to see or do in a place because you’re there, and how could you not? In Bangkok there are definitely some touristy but must see and do things…
