Old Batavia square Java Indonesia

Funny enough I could only find a few positive blogs about Jakarta when I was preparing for my trip. Most people seem to escape the city as soon as they set foot in the capitol. It would be too crowded, noisy and very dirty. Moreover, it had too little to offer. Boy, how nothing turned […]

Longtail boats Phra Nang Beach Railay Thailand

Railay Beach: a mix of Jamaica and Lloret de Mar with an Asian flavor. Sounds a bit odd – it is. Railay is a peninsula within the Krabi province. Due to the limestone rocks it’s only accessible by boat from Ao Nang or Ao Nam Mao. Its remote location guarantees for a relaxed and pleasant […]

Khao Sok floating lake houses

In other words: from nightmare to paradise. Imagine it’s 3 o’clock in the after noon and you’re sitting by the pool of your 4 star hotel before heading to the nearest train station to catch the night train to Surat Thani, when all of a sudden your intestines go crazy. You start sweating like a […]

Wat Maha That Ayutthaya Thailand

As capital of Siam – former Thailand – Ayutthaya was known as world’s largest city. Hard to imagine huh?! According to a bunch of Europeans it was also the most beautiful one. Until it was destroyed by the Burmese army in 1767. Yes a very long time ago but a little history never hurt nobody. […]

Hate it or love it: Bangkok is an unique experience

Posted on Tuesday December 20th, 2016Friday April 28th, 2017by Simone
Tuk tuk ride through streets of Bangkok Thailand

You have to pay attention to your surroundings at all times in order to keep your life. It’s extremely warm like all day everyday.

Limestone cliffs Railay Beach Thailand
