Chiang Mai | Bangkok | Phuket, Thailand 🇹🇭

Thailand stole my heart! What a marvelous country! Thailand was similar to Italy in my head before this trip because of all the hype and praise I’ve received from other travelers during the last few months. Seemed like a certified must-go destination. Thailand lived up to every single bit of hype that was thrown my way!

I was super happy I got to experience three different parts of the country. The Northern part with Chiang Mai with the elephant sanctuaries hidden within the hills, the bustling huge legendary mega-city of Bangkok, and the tropical Southern region of Phuket with a day trip out to Phi Phi and surrounding islands! It was just a wonderful rollercoaster of amazing experiences and mind-melting food.

I also had one of the most stressful experiences on all my travels, my phone getting waterlogged without ever recovering. Thankfully, with the help of Aya and her husband Anthony, friends I made while on Ko Phi Phi Le, and my Dad relaying my 1Password info and 2FA codes over FaceTime, I was able to get back on my feet with only a half-day of downtime without a phone. I have no idea how people traveled without smartphones and I wasn’t gonna learn lol. I’ll always be thankful for the help they provided. so much for all your help! They quite literally saved my trip!
