Elephant Sanctuary, Chiang Mai
Elephant Sanctuary, Chiang Mai
Buddhist temples. Burmese historical landmarks. Elephant sanctuaries. Markets. Thai Food. Thai People. Endless islands. Turquoise water. Just a few of the gems of Thailand. Sawadee ka!

Welcome to Bangkok!

Paradise Lodge
Welcome to Paradise
Welcome to Paradise. A place where you can lay by the infinity pool while looking out over a calm bay. Where you can kayaking along limestone peaks and have islands to yourself. Where you can binge watch HBO because you've contracted traveler's sickness, wait...what? We'll get to that later.

We said goodbye to our beaches in Phuket …

Upon arrival we made our way to the Tamarind hotel, nestled in the historical section of the city this hotel truly feels like an oasis characterized by its small size and welcoming pool.
