Top 10 Must-Do’s in Thailand

A hidden treasure, Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is a temple that is less featured on social media. However, in my opinion, the temple is quite an impressive one as everything is practically decorated in gold. With Buddhas everywhere, the emerald one is the most unique. To get there, you have to ride an elevator or climb long, steep flights of steps.

One cannot come to Thailand and leave without visiting some elephants! Chiangmai is THE place to go for that. To my surprise, visiting an elephant sanctuary would be the biggest highlight of my trip. It completely changed my perspective regarding the current treatment of these majestic animals.

Phuket as the Caribbean of Asia

When I arrived to Phuket (after several days of culturally exploring Thailand), I finally felt that the relaxation that should occur at some point during every vacation, finally began! From my view through the tiny airplane window, I knew Phuket would provide me the island vibes I needed. As you exit the tiny Phuketwan airport, you are hit with a burst of hot, Caribbean-like air. Reality check: I am 8,000 miles away

My Battle of Love & Disappointment of Bangkok

Thailand has been high on my list for a few years, thanks to social media. The temples, the elephants and the turquoise waters all provided a lure for me to go. After nearly four years of dreaming, it finally became a reality this year! Upon traveling 20 hours and 8,000 miles (including the brief layover), I was exhausted, but thirsty to explore.
