Last updated: 26.09.23

Welcome to this tropical paradise called Thailand. We had a 1-month adventure in Thailand filled with temples, palm trees, beaches, island life, big city life, markets, snorkeling, beautiful viewpoints, the biggest water fight in the world and so much more.

It was my second time in this beautiful country and definitely not the last time!

Most of the time we stayed in nice hotels. In Hua Hin we shared a villa with our friends.
