I know I say this every time I go somewhere, but I think Thailand might be my favorite place I’ve ever been. Maybe because of how incredibly nice and friendly the people are in “the land of smiles” but definitely also because of the food. I had Thai food once before I went to Thailand. […]
The best part of my trip to Thailand ties right in with the worst part. The last few days of our trip were spent in Koh Phi Phi, the party island. Koh Phi Phi was totally not my style and if I could go back, I would spend less time there and more time literally […]
