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.

I went to the Similan Islands from Khao Lak. My initial idea was to go scuba diving, but given the stormy climate, I opted for a snorkelling expedition.
I particularly enjoyed the boat trip because I was amongst a dozen passengers, and everyone was in a good mood despite a dark, heavy, unreassuring sky. The arrival to the first island is quite simply magical, the rocks, the colour of the translucent water then a deep blue remains one of the best experiences of my <a href="/thailand/">trip to Thailand</a>. The second island was also breathtaking, there was no one else other than us. The Similan Islands genuinely appear like a jewel that is still intact. I liked that there were no infrastructures there, a real taste of the end of the world.
However, I was slightly disappointed by the snorkelling. The guide fed the fish to make the come nearer, which created an unnatural, unpleasant cluster. I decided to part with the group and explore the floors myself. Flocks of fish of thousands of different colours were swimming around me, a real pleasure!
The return was quite epic, the wind and rain made the crossing rather difficult and hectic, a unique experience.
