The Elephants Of Chiang Mai

When I planned my trip in Thailand, I decided to do a hike with the elephants. I had read good things about the Elephant Nature Park online and in the Lonely Planet. I really wanted to do something respectful of the elephants.

The Dreamy Westman Islands

During my second visit, my friend and I spent one day on the Westman Islands. We found a map and hiked by ourselves on a volcano. It was windy and rainy, but once at the top, the sun came out and the view was worth all the efforts.

Loy Krathong

Loy Krathong is a festival celebrated on a full moon of the twelfth month in the Thai lunar calendar. Loy Krathong could be translated as “to float a basket”. The krathongs are “baskets” of flowers or other decorations.

The mysterious Shell Grotto

I discovered the Grotto Shell through one of the travelling websites I follow, and I got very curious. The walls are covered with seashells (4.6 million shells).
