    Thailand / 04.12.2017

    Do you guys remember our whirlwind tour of Peru? That time we went to Machu Picchu, the desert dunes of Paracas, and the mesmerising salt ponds of the sacred Inca Valley? Well, our recent trip to Thailand (again with the amazing guys from The Luxury Collection and Beautiful Destinations) was equally jam-packed, and just as magical (if not more so…we’ll let you be the judge ;) The timing of this trip was centred around the annual Yee Peng Festival (which is celebrated on the full moon of the twelfth lunar month), which meant we had to be in Chiang Mai on November 3rd to take part in this bucket-list-worthy mass-release lantern fest.

I can feel an angel sliding up to me. The famous Murray Head lyrics pretty much nailed it. Our one night in Bangkok (after two six-hour flights and zero sleep) was a cracker. Yes, we ate fried crickets (see below) and yes, we raced around the crazy streets in a Tuk Tuk. Naturally. We were actually quite lucky to arrive at 9pm on a Saturday night, because this is the time you get to really feel this city's addictive energy. If you're not being offered ping pong shows (yup, those ones),...
