As someone who’s explored the vibrant streets of Thailand and soaked in its rich culture, I’ve come to realize that timing is everything, especially when it comes to weather. February, in particular, holds a special place in my heart. It’s a month where the Land of Smiles shows off its most welcoming climate, making it an ideal time for travelers to experience its beauty to the fullest.

One afternoon in Thailand, we had a stupid accident ( it looks like this doesn’t only happen to others). We went to the local hospital, it was cheap, they gave us a brace, some medicine and we thought it was over.

Koh Phi Phi is a famous destination in Thailand: incredible views, blue oceans, and long tail boats are the stuff of postcards (or movies like The Beach).

No ATM and only cash accepted on Koh Rong! Before you get to the island, be aware that there is no ATM on Koh Rong, and pretty much nobody on the whole island has a credit/debit card terminal. So, you better get plenty of cash before arriving.

Clear Water Bay on Koh Rong Sanloaem would have to make the list of Cambodia’s best beaches. With water you only see on postcards, epic scenery and few tourists, this is definitely a must-visit if you are staying at M’Phai Bay!
Field notes
In such a huge city like Bangkok, getting around can be a long and overwhelming experience. Luckily, people have been taking advantage of the canals through the capital from the Khlong Saen Saeb river and turned it into a great way to cover ground effectively: The Khlong Canal taxis.

Elephant treks and rides are popular among tourists in Thailand and in many other parts of Asia. However elephants are often mistreated and harshly trained. A recent report from the World Animal Protection (WAP) revealed that more than three-quarters of nearly 3,000 elephants used for tourist entertainment in Asia are kept in severely-cruel conditions.
