Southern Thailand: From Hat Yai to Phuket

Thailand is a country where my entire nine-month backpacking adventure started and also the only country I visited twice during this long trip (I don’t think the repeated airport layovers in Kuala Lumpur really count).

My 3 Recommendations for Bangkok

Bangkok is one crazy city, which – I have to admit – wasn’t very high on my bucket list. However, it is a major transport hub in Southeast Asia so you kind of have to pass through there at some point. I have actually liked the city more than I expected so I have decided to share a few things you shouldn’t miss if you decide to spend a few days in Bangkok.
