Thailand

Even though I’ve been to Thailand three times, I feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface of the Land Of Smiles, or its many islands. I’ve been to Koh Chang …

Between beautiful temples, charming monks, stylish Thais shopping at trendy markets, cheap accommodation and even cheaper food, what’s not to love about Chiang Mai!

So…it took us months to talk about it but…we got scammed in Bangkok. Here’s our story. You can laugh, you can cry with us, but definitely take it to heart as these scams happen to tons of nice folks who visit the Thai capital.

We couldn’t have been more excited to see that jaw-droppingly gorgeous, secluded Maya Bay in person. It turns out, we almost wish we didn’t come here at all.

I didn’t think a truly paradisical, unspoiled island still existed in Thailand – but Koh Poda ticked all the boxes of the picture-perfect tropical island!

On our first visit to Thailand’s capital, we couldn’t wait to leave…but the second time around was love at first sight cycling around the Bang Namphueng area of Bangkok. Read on to find out why and how to travel to this exotic jungle just outside the city.

If you are looking for the best island to visit in Thailand, look no further: Koh Tao has it all – beautiful beaches, diving and snorkeling, breathtaking sunsets and amazing food!

We set off to find out if Thailand really has the best street food in the world… and is there any street food for vegetarians in Thailand?

Finally, a hotel in central Bangkok where you can get away from it all and still have an authentic Thai experience!

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.
