I Dream Of Thailand

I have been traveling for over 10 years in search of paradise and Thailand is by far one of my favorite country.  Thailand offers an incredibly rich cuisine to its travelers along with endless opportunities for adventures. From diving excursions in Koh Tao to spa retreat in Koh Samui or rock climbing in Railay beach.

You can easily travel through Thailand via the local boutique airline, Bangkok Airway.  Start your trip in Bangkok and from there fly to Chiang Mai for 3 to 4 days where you can arrange jungle hikes,  elephant rides or local cooking lessons. 

When ready for the beach, hop on a quick flight to Koh Samui and explore the 2nd largest island, a great place to treat yourself to some exotic local spa treatments.  If you feel like spoiling yourself, there are certainly no shortage of boutique/luxury hotels. 

After all the relaxation, you may want to take a 3 hour ferry ride to the smaller island of Koh Tao which is known for it's scuba diving.  It is breathtaking, beautiful, charming and one of my favorite island.  There you can easily forget about the worries of the world. 

Railay beach is another fun spot worth visiting. You can get there by taking a quick flight from koh samui to krabi and from krabi, take the local longtail boat to
Railay beach.  With its unique layout, Railay beach is a haven for rock climbers.

Koh Phi Phi is another picturesque island off of the west coast of Thailand and made popular by the movie " the beach." There you can organize a longtail boat daytrip to the Maya beach where the movie itself was filmed. 
 
And last but not the least, Koh Ngai is a very secluded island south of Koh Phi phi and a perfect place to end your trip in Thailand.  There you can experience amazing sunrise far away from the crowds.
