The Island of Koh Larn, Thailand

-
Are you ready to adventure a whole island and see every beach it has to offer in a relaxing pace? Well here you go. 
Then set sail from the piers in Pattaya near the Walking Street, the earlier the better. Signs are posted for by the ferries to leave at 08:00 but Robe and I got on one 15-30 minutes before hand for 30 BAHT each. 
It’s a beautiful and relaxing ride there. 
Haad Ta Waen Beach
Upon arrival you see all the bright colored building and lush jungle. 
We set foot to our first stop Haad Ta Waen beach which I would say way my least favorite other than the floating pier that really rocked your boat. The tide was high so there was no beach and it was over populated with tourists so we left quickly. 
Samae Beach
We then set foot over to Samae Beach. It was a gorgeous walk hitting a beautiful Viewpoint before a lovely lady stopped to give us a ride on her motorbike the rest of the way just to be nice! We had a fun little photo shoot and kicked back on this quiet beach unpolluted by tourists. The rocks on the far left of the beach are gorgeous but very sharp so be careful. 
Haad Thian Beach
A last minute decision was made to take a peak at Haad Thian which had the most gorgeous trees right where the waves touch that we couldn’t help but strike various poses in their branches. On our way out we inquired about the motor bikes but they were asking 400 BAHT for a couple of hours which is ridiculous! Most places don’t go over 250 BAHT for 24 hours so we walked onwards(later grateful that we did).
Viewpoint and Haad Ke Re Beach
Next stop Haad Ke Re with a break at one of the most amazing viewpoints on the way. We trekked up this steep hill through the jungle and windmills to make it to this wrap around dock/patio that you could see Pattaya, surrounding islands and all of Ko Larn itself! If we would’ve taken the motorbike we would have never been able to make it here. The other great part was that no one else was there or on our hole hike through!
It was now time for lunch then Had Ke Re beach. This was my favorite of all beaches. No one else was there except some locals fishing. We found a lovely little hammock tucked away where we began to nod off from the chill vibes and long day. This is not a place to swim but it was perfect for some R&R. 

Nual Beach
Our last stop was Nual Beach(Monkey Beach, there are no monkeys there that I saw). This was a Farley crowded beach but had the best swimming of them all. We took a dip and chilled out. 
I saw these amazing pineapples that I just loved calling coconuts all day for some reason adorned with gorgeous flowers. I decided I must have one! Little to my surprise they were Mai Tais when I thought they were just fruit shakes, and they were strong ones to add to that. We enjoyed our beverage and took a Tuk-Tuk back to the pier to catch the ferry back to Pattaya. 
This was the highlight of Jomtien/Pattaya for me! It was a great trek with amazing views, relaxations, photos and wonderful company. Plus the water is some of the most crystal clear water with white sand beaches I’ve ever been to. I highly recommend checking Ko Lorn out!
Recommendations:
Don’t get a motor bike, just walk. 
Checkout all the beaches. 
Take amazing photos. 
Go to all the viewpoints. 
Take your time. 
Keep it chill and keep coming back. I cherish your support and I love helping out. 
With toes in the sand,
Finding Me Wherever I Maybe

Vida Guesthouse, Chiang Mai, Thailand

Where to Stay in Chiang Mai, Thailand Upon arriving back to Chiang Mai, Thailand with no set place to stay I wandered the Old City in search of the perfect place. I wandered in and out of many places inquiring about prices and checking out the rooms. My new friend Paul had suggested using HostelWorld to find good, cheap places. With this lovely little website I found Vida Guesthouse where I spent the last 3 nights. This cute little guesthouse was perfect! The staff is very friendly and bilingual making communication a breeze. I did not book ahead a time, which when you do this you do not have to pay until the end of your stay. You have a little book with your room number and where you can log the drinks that you take from the fridge to be billed at checkout. My room was the perfect size, I don't need much since my time is spent out and about, only using the room to sleep, bathe, and take some short breaks to get away from all the stimulation. I had my own private bathr

Elephant Haven, Kanchanaburi,Thailand

Finding My New Favorite Animal I arrived in Kanchanaburi, Thailand to get picked up from my guesthouse at 08:00 the following morning by some of the staff of Elephant Haven. I did not know that I would fall in love with elephants and never want to leave.  Upon arrival to stay overnight at Elephant Haven myself and the others got to meet a few of the ladies and had a quick run down of the history, along with safety guidelines.  From there it was time to make breakfast. Not for us of course but for the elephants. This consisted of rice banana balls and cutting watermelon. We met the rest of the herd and fed them their breakfast that they seemed very happy about. Then it was time for a stroll through the jungle where we got to observe how they lived their daily life and hangout with them. Which consists of 18 hours of eating and lots of attention from one another, the staff, and they’re ecstatic visitors.  We then returned after quiet sometime to have a delicio
