One night in Bangkok
Bangkok doesn’t sleep. It sweats, it hazzles, it seduces. It’s a neon fever dream that hits you like a tuk-tuk running red lights at 3 am. A city with no filters, no cares and certainly no apologies.
Diving at the Similan Islands
The Similan Islands are located in the Andaman Sea, off the west coast of Thailand. There are nine of them and all are covered in dense tropical jungle vegetation, but I’m more interested in the things below the surface.
