Five Reasons People Laugh About Your Thailand Travel

We started in Ao Nang (coastal town), ventured to Phi Phi Islands, and then to Phuket (which we didn't care for too much). For island hopping, we did the western portion, but we heard equally as great things about the eastern portion.

And congrats on your travels love, that's so EPIC! Hi Kristin, so happy you found this post helpful!!!! You can't miss them and make sure to ride on one at least once!

It's the popular boat that is pictured in many tourist campaigns. Anyway… when visiting the coastal islands, longtail boats are the common water taxi for short distances. We totally fell for it and it's funny to look back now, at the time I wanted to rip the guys head off.

It's a long story but do some research and know what to avoid. Just be VERY WARY - the drivers like to take advantage of tourists and will very sneakily have you traveling all over town to benefit their pay and gas. These go kart type vehicles are the main transportation for tourists to get around.

Phuket's great advantage is that there's always something to do on and off the island, whether it's raining or shining. This was one of my favorite things to do near Chiang Mai. The park is located just an hour from the Chiang Mai city center and they will even pick you up at your Hotel in Thailand (https://www.thailandtravel.co/category/thailand-hotels) to take you there.

The Elephant Nature Park is an elephant rescue and rehabilitation camp where visitors can get an elephant education, plus feed and bathe these majestic creatures. A tuk tuk is a 3-wheeled motorized vehicle that you will see zipping all around the towns of Thailand and a one of the most popular things to do. The fares typically run from 60 - 100 baht, but make sure to confirm this price before hopping on! There are a few modes of transportation throughout Chiang Mai, but none more well known that the tuk tuk.

It is also the second largest city in the country and filled will bucket list worthy experiences. Thailand's Northern city of Chiang Mai is many traveler's dream destination due to its delicious food, hundreds of temples, rich culture and budget travel opportunities.
