Spending the past four days on a non-tourism based island has completely changed my perspective of Thailand. Most people arrive to the hustle and hustle of Bangkok, filled with very western shops and food all mixed with Thai culture. The same can be said for many of the well known islands. It’s like this for […]
This islands is truly a gem. Off the beaten path enough to be quiet, yet with enough people to not get lonely. After my adventure yesterday, I had headed back up the beach to the Dugong Bar for dinner. FYI a dugong is an animal similar to a manatee. Apparently way back they were thought […]
As I write this post I’m sitting on the most gorgeous beach, enjoying the heat, humidity, crabs wandering by met feet and….rain! OK, I didn’t count on it to be raining but who cares. It will pass. As promised this is the continuation of my journey to this remote isle. After getting off the bus […]
The last four days have been a whirlwind tour of so many amazing things, I’ve hardly had time to write anything down. I had only booked one night at Slumber Party on the Beach hostel online in Ao Nang, which is a beach area right near Krabi. It ended up being so chill that I […]

It was bittersweet to leave my hostel today, because it had such a cool vibe and was in a great location. I may stay there again on my way back to Japan in a couple weeks because so far it’s been my favourite hostel yet. As for Bangkok, not sure how I feel about the […]
Since I went right to bed after arriving at the hostel, and stayed by the airport last night, I don’t really count that as my first night in Bangkok. Tonight will be, and after a day of minor setbacks I must say this is a pretty cool place, of not overwhelming at times. I ended […]
Spent my last day wandering around at the Tokyo Skytree, the world’s second tallest tower after the Burj Khalifa. After spending a couple hours there people watching and browsing the shops, I grabbed my stuff and headed to the airport. I just wanted to chill there before my flight. The flight was on ANA, an […]
