Thought I would treat myself for the last night of my trip with a five star hotel, it's where they filmed the hangover 2 so pretty cool!! Arrived at 7am and could t check in until 2 so dumped my bags and went for a swim before falling asleep on the sunbed! Grabbed a Starbucks to w...

Felt a bit overwhelmed when I first saw them, this has been on my bucket list for as...

Booked an elephant trek for tomorrow and then got a tuktuk to the tiger kingdom. Grabbed some lunch and then went into the park, got to play with the baby tigers who were unbelievably adorable and had loads of photos with them! Then saw the slightly older ones and then the fully grown ones, they were huge and so beautiful! The trainers ...
