No island- Krabi

    Hello everyone, I would like to share some sad news with you: today is the day when I’m sharing with you my last post from beautiful Thailand. I can promise you, this time it’s a beautiful story, with,I hope, you will like. Let me know what you think by leaving your feedback under the post, please.      Our last destination, in Thailand, was Krabi and it’s completely different story to Patong’s.  I’ve booked us a hotel (room in the hotel, I mean, of course) in Krabi Town ( I didn’t checked it properly and we have been quite far from the town; just an hour walk, one way), which hasn’t got any connection with the sea (calm nights for me) and the funny name of the town comes from the fact that you can find lots of tiny crabs there, on the side of the river. I’ll be honest with you, we have tried to walk, from the hotel to town, but it was eating lots of our time and energy so we decided to hire a moped. We had really good price; only 1000 Baths for 5 days...

Patong-Phuket, Thailand

      H ello everybody, the weather outside isn’t the prettiest, I know but today I’m taking you with me to Thailand, island of Phuket.  A little warning, it won’t be a cute, little post, not this time, unfortunately.       Patong supposed to be THE place to be. I’ve seen so many beautiful pictures of Phuket that I was sure we will love this place. That’s why we decided to stay there for so long (10 nights) and I found us a hotel just by the sea. Just like I always wanted, dreamed. But no, this won’t be a post were I’ll tell you a beautiful story.        There were tsunami alerts just a few days before our trip to the island. I wasn’t sure what we should do, especially that our hotel was so close to the ocean. Small research showed me that Phuket was one of those places where tsunami in 2004 hit the hardest. It didn’t make me feel any better. The alert was quickly cancelled and any of next earthquakes, in Indonesia, didn’t trig...

Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai

     Hello lovely people, how are you? I’m great, that’s probably because today I’m going to share with you a few days, which we spend in Chiang Mai. Stupidly, we decided to stay in Chiang Mai only 5 days Now we know that this town deserves way more attention, but back then, when we were planning our trip we thought that it’s no point to stay there too long because there is no sea there Anyway, we knew we wanted to make the most of this short time and we booked two activities, which we mainly came there for. It is: visit the elephant sanctuary and and trip to Chiang Rai, where we wanted to see the White Temple.       Let me start with the info that you can find a lot of elephant parks/sanctuaries in Chiang Mai. That sound obvious, because there’s no better place to see elephants than Thailand? I don’t think so.  I’ve checked a few different phone apps, websites and tourist brochures before we made a decision.  The main condition was to not be...

Mój azjatycki pamiętnik cz. 9

19.08.2018 Patong, Phuket, Tajlandia Wczoraj znowu cieszyłam się, ze jesteśmy w wielkim świecie. Wypożyczyliśmy skuter i trochę pozwiedzaliśmy. Fajnie bo pojechaliśmy zobaczyć wielkiego Buddę kilka świątyń i nigdzie nie trzeba było płacić za wstęp. Totalnie inaczej do wszystkich miejsc w których dotychczas byliśmy. W Bankgkoku chyba najwiecej wydaliśmy właśnie na opłaty za wstęp do różnych miejsc. W Chiang Mai raz zapłaciłam, a nawet nie mogłam wejść do świątyni, także to była miła odmiana. Zwłaszcza, ze te miejsca były piękne. Nie powiem żeby były inne od tych które już widzieliśmy ale były bardzo ładne. No i w końcu mogliśmy zjeść gdzieś indziej niż w najbliższej knajpce bo mogliśmy sobie tam podjechać. Mimo faktu, ze Patong wydaje się być  niewielkim miasteczkiem do tego marketu, gdzie byliśmy wczoraj skuterem (10 min) dzisiaj zajmie nam to pewnie z godzinę, żeby tam dodreptac. No cóż, tak to jest jak się chce oszczędzać pieniążki. Trochę świruje z tym tsunami. Ciagle sprawdz...

Thailand-Bangkok

Hello , today I would like to tell you a little bit about the crazy capital of Thailand, Bangkok. Come on, read along , it may be helpful when planning your visit there.      I fall in love with Bangkok from the very first, evening walk. We have stayed in the area called Ratchada, which is located quite far from the main city, and we had the best night market just 40 mins walk away. Ratchada Night Market is essence of night markets. Really, this place is very cool! Loud and colourful. You can do almost everything there. Do you want to do your hair, but you won’t waste a day for it? Not a problem. They have got a hairdressers there, just next to the place where you can eat awesome Thai, street food and drink super cheap, cute looking cocktails. That’s not everything. You can do your nails there and, if you would like to, go straight to the tattoo salon. How crazy is that? We visited a few night markets in Thailand, but Ratchada’s one is definitely my favourite. The only...

Thailand

Hi guys,  I wouldn’t be myself if I wouldn’t start a new part of my “travel posts”  with saying something from me, something honest. In this place I want to tell you that Thailand, honestly never been on my travel bucket list, but when we were planning our Big Asian Adventure I wanted to go somewhere where Mat would like to go. This way I found out he always wanted to see Thailand and here we are.  1. Visa We have stayed in Thailand less than 30 days so we didn’t need to pay for visa.  2. Hotels As everywhere else, further from the centre cheaper it is, but think about it if you don’t like to spend money on taxi (Grab, Uber) or any other kind of public transport you maybe better to stay closer to the main area and this way save money. It may sound crazy but there are places in Bangkok, where taxi drivers don’t  like to go and you may end up walking for hours. 3. Taxi   I’m not sure if many people know about it but a lot of Thai taxi driver has got a deal wi...
