HEY GUYS! I spent a month in Thailand and didn’t really tell you much about it. Well, I told you about all the strange things I saw during that month in Thailand and I gave you 10 tips to surviving Thailand .  BUT, I wanted to show you what it was really like through some of the amazing photos taken over the course of that month. This is just a small selection! There are MANY more, but I didn’t want you to get bored.  I feel like I really should have taken some more “cultural” shots, but I find pictures of famous landmarks and such a bit tedious. Hopefully you guys enjoy my mini photo album of a month in Thailand, even if it is just mainly photos of me in pretty places.

Before we get started with the photos let me give you a quick, very vague outline of how I spent a month in Thailand!

– Arrived in Khao San Road & had a wild night out with too many buckets.
– Hung over as hell got the night but to Koh Tao.
– Stayed in Koh Tao for over a week getting my open water dive certificate.
– Another night bus to Khao Lak.
– Did 2 live aboard boat trips to the Similan island getting my ADVANCED open water dive certificate.
– Another night bus back to Bangkok to stay with Lubd & try some Flowriding/ lantern making.

But enough about that, here’s the photo evidence!

Realising that I finally loved scuba diving after a month in Thailand!

 

SO, there you have it, a month in Thailand in photos! I hope you enjoyed it. I know Thailand is SOOOOO touristy, and everyone has done it, but there’s a reason for that. It’s cheap, and beautiful, and the food is amazing. Plus, you really can’t find a better/cheaper place to learn how to dive. A month in Thailand is well worth it.

Have you spent any time in Thailand? What did you think?? Leave me a comment and let me know!

    Love the fire poi photo! I loved sitting on that beach, like every single night, watching the guys and even those cute kids juggling fire like they were born to do it!

      Can you tell I’m going back through old posts that I didn’t SEO??? 😉 But yes that Fire Poi photo is one of my favourite photos I’ve ever taken.

Hi, I'm Tara! I SELL DRUGS (legally); I am a pharmacist. Somewhere along the line I realised the 9-5 life wasn't for me and took a sabbatical to travel the world and try new things. During the pandemic I re-joined the workforce and have now mastered the balance of travelling the world doing things that terrify me and working part time. Want to know more? Come take an adventure with me!
