Thailand

I spent the past four weeks in Thailand and Cambodia, and didn’t go to Indonesia as I had originally planned. Find out why and what else went wrong in March…

I’ve arrived in Thailand and it’s so good to be back here! I only interrupted my island hopping mission briefly for a quick visit to Bangkok before I moved on …

I’ve reached the last stop on my island & beach hopping tour around South East Asia – Thailand’s beautiful Andaman Sea islands, where I found my personal paradise.

Stopping in Koh Chang for a few days was a spontaneous on-the-whim decision – and I am glad that I made the detour because the island is perfect for a mini beach vacation!

I am looking back on my travels over the past four weeks, what went well and what didn’t, lessons I’ve learned this month, what’s new with Globetrottergirls and what’s next for me.

Another amazing year is coming to an end – our 2nd as full-time travelers! It’s hard to believe just how much we have done this year…check out some of our photo highlights of 2011!

Back in Chiang Mai we wanted to see more of Northern Thailand’s scenic countryside and took a bicycle tour through rice fields, tiny villages and hot springs.

Look at this guy! Sukhothai, famous for the ruins of the ancient capital of the Sukhothai kingdom, turned out to be a relaxed little town in Central Thailand …

This week’s Polaroid is our first from South East Asia. We’ve had a crash course in all things Bangkok and Buddhism since we arrived in Thailand last week.

This week’s Polaroid features Wat Chedi Luang, one of the oldest and most impressive temples of Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand.
