Located in the heart of Southeast Asia, Thailand is a lively and culturally colorful destination known for its opulent royal palaces, ancient Buddhist temples, pristine white sandy beaches, and bustling markets. This tropical paradise, formerly known as Siam, is marked by the vibrancy of its bustling capital city, Bangkok, the historical charm of Chiang Mai, the beach resorts of Phuket and Pattaya, and the tranquil beauty of its numerous islands spread across the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand. Thailand's distinctive cuisine, with its rich flavors and aromas, combined with the locals' sparkling hospitality, completes an immersive travel experience that is uniquely Thai.

Koh Tao was my favourite destination in Thailand. The snorkelling and scuba is amazing, the Escobar party is better than the full moon, you’re never far from the beach. 

There are two things I didn’t like. 1, there is no Grab and the roads are poor so it’s a bit dangerous to drive. 2, as a queer woman I was harassed by tourists and locals when I was with my girlfriend. They would stare, ask inappropriate questions, follow us, touch us, try to get us to do things we didn’t want to do. That disappointed me a lot so me and her needed to act like “friends” to feel comfortable.

Aside from that, Koh Tao is a great time.
