The Khong Chiam region is still largely unaffected by tourism and, for those willing to explore it, offers spectacular scenery and the promise of peaceful days spent well away from the noise and chaos of the urban environment. With its waterfalls, cliffs and rock paintings, Pha Taem is the kind of place you simply never tire of exploring.

Are you ready for the trip of a lifetime? Travelling in an auto rickshaw will make you feel Bangkok, the hyperactive capital, buzz with life. Next step: the south of Thailand, which is even more charming… Bays, coves, bungalows on deserted beaches, clear water and colourful corals, underwater caves and rocks springing from the sea. Your journey to Thailand will allow you to experience the flavour of salty water, diving and blissful idleness.You will continue your journey north to Chiang Mai, where you will learn so much: there are so many cooking classes and massage courses to choose from. Later, you will take one of the most beautiful roads in the north, Chiang Maia Mae Hong Son, a journey brave travellers will take on two wheels. Between discovering misty, jungle-covered hillsides and villages nestled deep in splendid valleys: your stay in Thailand will be almost supernaturally beautiful.

During my stay in Thailand, I visited Koh Chang on my way back from Cambodia. My bus left the frontier and stopped right in front of the quay where the boat was waiting.  Koh Chang is served by shared taxis which stop where you want. The route of the journey is generally fixed before starting. There are two famous beaches, White Sand Beach and Lonely Beach. I found a place to stay on the latter, in a little bungalow facing the sea. But when I explored other parts of the island I was sorry I hadn't gone further away! I spent a day diving in the sea, especially on the HTMS, a sunken war ship in 20 meters of water. Sublime, and full of little fish! There are lots of different activities on Koh Chang - there are waterfalls in the center of the island, hiking, the beach of course, diving, night walks, and even really touristy things which I didn't do, like a crocodile farm and elephant rides. It's a lovely island where you can relax or just as easily find something to do, a bit like Thailand in miniature!
