After the beautiful beaches of Koh Phangan (SEE ARTICLE) I have now moved to Koh Tao (SEE MAP), a tinly lovely island in the same arcipelago. The place is far from away from the crazy parties and life is quite more relaxing here. And yes, if you are not satisfied with Phangan places, you can find here yet another paradise.
A Kind of Blue
Koh Phangan (SEE ARTICLE) and Koh Tao are not only incredible heavens on earth for their stunning beaches. Under the water may be even more beautiful.
People from the Moon - part 1
Koh Phangan is stunning island full of beautiful beaches and landscapes (SEE ARTICLE). Besides, it is famous around the world for the Full Moon Party, held on his main beach onece a month during - of course - the full moon night.
People from the Moon - part 2
When around 7 AM the sun suddenly rises, the beach does not appear to realise that the moon is not shining in the black sky anymore.
This could be heaven
Koh Phangan (SEE MAP) , famous for its Full Moon Party (SEE ARTICLE), is not just a perdition place. The island is stunning and the place offers incredible beaches, landscapes and also some piece of adventure...
WornderWorld
Angkor, the Khmer archaeological site near Siem Reap - Cambodia (MAP) is the eight wonder of the world (SEE OTHER WONDERS), no doubt about it.
The site is huge and spread all over the country, three full days barely abblow to visit a small part of the whole complex. Still, it is definitely worth it a ride... It's more: you will go away with the will to go back soon and continue the exploration...
Tuc tuc stories
It's not a perfect day to spend in Bangkok. There is high risk for the incoming flood announced by all media.
Made in Cambodia
Travelling from Vietnam to Thailand, a brief stop in Cambodia is just needed for realizing how beautiful must be this country and how it needs a deeper investigation, a future longer trip.
The Mekong Experience
Mekong river is one of the biggest in the world. It origins are in China, and after crossing 7 different countries it eventually ends in Vietnam through a huge and impressive delta.
This is Vietnam
There is no best way to see the real Vietnam but renting a bicycle or motorbike and just drive around in the country outside big cities and touristic places. People are much nicer. And real.
Imperial Life
Being an Emperor is such a hard life, isn't it? Hue, in the center of Vietnam, has been the capital city of the Vietnamese Empire during XVIII and XIX siecles, during the Nguyen dinasty.
Nam
The second Indochina war against the USA is one of the most famous conflict ever. Vietnam history is indeed plenty of such events. And the country still reflects there in several different places. One of the most affected part was indeed the DMZ - demilitarized zone - where several cruel battles took place.
May in September
May is a lovely girl from a tiny H'mong village near Sapa. I happened to read stories about her hosting tourists in her house, with her family, just for the sake of talking with strangers, learning some English and get some good meal in return. I eventually contacted her and decided to go and spend a night in her village. That happened to be an out-of-the-world experience.
Monkey Island
Monkey Island is just one of the thousands available in the Halong Bay, probably one of the most knwon Vietnamese places in the world.
