I loved the floating market in Thailand. Thankfully it was less touristy than many markets nearby to Bangkok, and there were locals there in their boats, doing their morning shopping. We spent time walking around, down the narrow ‘klongs,’ and imagining what it must be like to grow up on the water and take a […]
We liked this beach. Not a ton of tourists, some random surfers, and decent enough waves to bodysurf. It was also right around the corner from our little hotel.
