Krabi - Thailand

It’s a very touristic area with big resorts, souvenirs shops and families on holidays but it has lots of things to do, restaurants and places to go out.

Things to do
Island hoping:
4 Islands boat trip tour, very recommended as you can spend enough time in each island 
I didn’t like my boat as we were too many people, I prefer smaller boats with 10 people 
Half day tour - 400THB  tour + 400THB National park
We managed to get better price in our hostel.

There are several tours:
7 Islands: you don’t spend much time in each island 
Hong Island: you spend all the time in the same island 
James Bond island: it’s quite far, you travel by van to the pier.

Railay beach by boat
You can do climbing at the sea as well.

Hiking to Khao Ngon Nak
Very nice and small hike in the jungle with stunning views.
2h to go up - bring plenty of water and proper shoes for walking, no flip flops!!

Mangrove kayaking, nice area to explore 
Check first if the tight is good to do the activity, ours was too short as there was not enough water and had to finish earlier.
Half day activity - 500THB each 

Emerald lagoon, highly recommended to see something different and swim in cold water.

Places to stay
Surf hostel, very clean and cheap, wonderful staff, breakfast included, comfy beds, a bit far from the beach but it is in a less touristic area.
The staff is very helpful and you can book the activities from the hostel for good price.

Glut Hostel resort, nice place with good swimming pool, good location.

Sleeper hostel, a place to sleep, cheap but staff not helpful/nice at all.


Places for lunch/dinner
Jungle Kitchen: only dinner and book in advance 
Mama Kitchen 
Ton Ma Yon Restaurant 
Banana Restaurant 
Market by the beach

Places for drinks 
There are some places with live music and several clubs to go out next to the beach.
Center point

Indonesia, a life-changing experience!

Image
Indonesia is special to me... After traveling several months, I can say it is my favorite country in SE Asia. Why? Because it has many good things, the first and best, the people in Bali, the kindest people I ever met, probably due to their culture/religion. I think karma is a good thing if it’s used properly. The landscapes are amazing... the wild cliffs with the the brave sea...it’s unbelievable! And my favorite view point of the whole trip is in Padar Island in Komodo National park, with magic SUNRISES!! The sea life is blowing minding...turtles, mantas, sharks, all sort of fishes... If you like hiking, there are plenty of volcanos with unforgettable sunrises & sunsets. Exquisite food! Something I love when traveling, taste different flavors!! Full of experiences, parties and obviously surf!!! My Indonesia Itinerary in 26 days: 5 Days in Kuta  4 Days on Wanua boat trip  2 Days in Gili Air  3 Days in Gili T 6 Days in Ubud  1 Day in Canggu

North Laos

Image
I took a whole package to cross the border from ChiangRai (Thailand) to Huay Xai (Laos), all transports included and the slow boat, it was a bit expensive but very easy and convenient for crossing the border. At the north from Huay Xai, I took the slow boat to Luang Prabang throught the Mekon river and stopped in Pak Beng. The experience was nice and the landscape,  it it was a bit long, 2 days on the boat, people spend most of their time reading. Tips: bring your own food/drinks and book your stay at Pak Beng when you arrive, it is much cheaper. At Pak Beng, the Indian Restaurants are very good. Other recommendations in the north: I have heard very good things about Gibbon experience and jungle trekking at Luang Namtha. Once in Luan Prabang, there are lots of hostels, you can use Booking.com Things to do Visit KuanSi waterfalls (better to go early in the morning) Walk to the top of the waterfall and if you continue walking few km you will find a very nice area to relax

Keeloma Boat expedition from El Nido to Coron - The Philippines

Something you have to do once in life...you probably end up repeating! Keeloma Boat expedition from El Nido to Coron. We met at El Nido v an terminal at 7am in the morning and drove to Sibaltan where we took the boat. Day 1 First stop was Magransing Island with a sand bar where you could walk on it although tide was a bit high, we also did snorkeling and saw lots of fishes! Perfect place for a drone!!! We were the only ones in that island! We had lunch on the boat over looking at the secluded Tackling island, our second stop. Then we swam and relax on this remote island. We continued with the boat towards our next stop, cliff jumping at Doble nueve. After that we went to the campsite based at Patoyo island, where we had dinner and drinks before going to bed. Day 2 We woke up early to watch the beautiful sunrise and had an early breakfast before we got on the boat again at island time. We stopped in 4 different spots all at Linapacan and did snorkeling, swam i
