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.

The island of Koh Mai Phai is better known as Bamboo Island. It is usually included in the day excursions that leave from Koh Phi Phi. I didn't really see any bamboo there, but the island is covered with a type of pine tree which makes a change from the "traditional" coconut trees and makes it a bit different. Despite being tiny it is idyllic and I really enjoyed my lunch there (included in the price of the day trip). Every time I've been there it was with my wife and it is definitely the ideal spot for a romantic getaway, white sandy beach and clear water - what more could you want! It was also an ideal spot to do a bit of snorkeling, but it was already time to go. A shame, because we would have liked to prolong the moment.
