After a 14 hour night train, I arrived in Bangkok to see the sunrise. Noisy, chaotic and alive, just how I had imagined it, just maybe not that early in the morning. As I will be going through Bangkok a few times on this trip, I decided it would be best to pace myself and visit one district as a time. First stop, Banglamphu. Crowded with tourist the 'soi's lined up with guesthouses, bars and cheap food stalls it was quite easy to get comfortable. I spent my time ...

I started my trip of the Thailand islands on a beautiful peninsula called Railey. Limestones cliffs visible from every point, it's often referred to as the rock climbing capital of the world. I got there late in the evening and didn't understand the intensity of the scenery until I woke up from my tent as the base of the Highlander tock climbing limestone rock. The first morning watching the sunrise from my bed was amazing. As I knew the beaches and sun were off ...

I stayed at a very homy hostel full of hammocks, pets, with friendly owners who gave m...

The Cameron Highlands was a good place to get back into much needed travel mode. This small touristic town was friendly, full of Indian food, had sweater weather and more treks! The Cameron Highlands are Malaysia's top producers ( 80%) of fruits, veggies, teas and flowers. It was nice to visit local farms and see where all the delicious food iv been eating came from. The short treks were very different from my last two weeks. There were short jungle paths with wa...

I want to start by saying sorry it took so long for an update, I didn't have wifi at the hostel. In such a place, technology was the last this on my mind. Kuala Tahan welcomed me with rain, monsoon season had just begun, but I did manage to get a few rain free days during my stay. My hostel overlooking the river crossing into the National park, very basic, run by local guides with mohawks who love to party, sing, play guitar and teach you about ...
