Dear Thailand, I gotta tell you something: You’re spoiled. The amount of tropical islands that belong to your kingdom isn’t fair. And I doubt I’ll be able to visit all of them during my lifetime but I’m trying. It doesn’t matter how often I keep coming back to you, I’ll always end up with a longer bucket list. One by one I’m working my way through that list to finally make it to one of the remotest of all Thai…
Sorry peeps, after part 1 I was somehow trying to limit the number of photos for this post but I simply CAN’T – this island is just too beautiful! As a result this is probably my photo-heaviest post so far (44 pics – whoops) but I promise I did my best to not even spam you more 😛 Caution – if you’re suffering severe wanderlust and beach cravings already, continue on your own risk 😉…
A gorgeous and one of the most exclusive island escapes is only a 1.5 hour flight away from New York City: The British Overseas territory of Bermuda. It’s where wealth meets casual Caribbean lifestyle, where honeymooners, yacht-owners and rich retirees come and sometimes stay. But it’s also a destination for adventure seekers and beach bums who’ll find some of the most breathtaking stretches of sand on the planet! (see here) Hamilton is the picturesque capital made of pastel-painted houses, restaurants,…
The number of islands in Thailand is almost infinite and visiting all of them could be somewhat like a lifetime mission. Although I’ve been there 8 times now, by far I haven’t seen all of them – which is great – because it gives me the possibility to see a different island every time. I especially love the Andaman coast due to its dramatic limestone formations and – in my opinion – the clearer water and the whiter sand (don’t get me wrong, the gulf side…
So Phuket it was this time! After exploring many of the smaller and lesser known islands the previous years (like Koh Lanta and Koh Kradan), I came to the point where I wanted to give Thailand’s “queen” of islands and the “pearl of the Andaman” as they name themselves, another chance. Because Phuket and I didn’t have a good start.…
Who isn’t craving for blue skies, white sand and palm trees on a snowy February day? Well I guess, this is the right post for daydreamers then, because Koh Kradan – the tiny island in the Trang archipelago – has it all. Although easily accessible from Koh Lanta, it’s an entirely different story: No village, no entertainment, just beach and jungle (with incredibly loud cicadas which could easily drown out every nightclub!) and lots of colourful fish (and sea urchins…) to…
