Where is Iveta?

Přepnout do češtiny Thailand. You come here to see the ocean views, to admire the incredible nature and amazing temples, but you want to stay there because of the hospitality, smiles and absolutely brilliant food. Asian cuisine was a mystery for me as long as I can remember. And I am not even talking about distinguishing between the different national cuisines. All I knew was that there are noodles, spring rolls and sushi. In Thailand, hovewer, I discovered there´s a lot more to it, and that the food is actually much more diverse.  This is probably the most delicious (amd most spicy) curry I have ever had. I was worried that food in Thailand might be spicy, which would be a big issue for me, because I have zero tolerance towards spicy meals. Even BBQ sauce makes my mouth burn. Lucky for me, Thai people are used to tourists and when they see a white person, they go light on the chilli and spicy sauce. If you want to make sure the food won´t burn a hole in your throat, ask them to ma...

Přepnout do češtiny The Phi Phi islands are rightfully one of the most popular destinations in Thailand (and probably in all of South East Asia).

I couldn´t come up with a better comparison. Unfortunately, this lifestyle is taking its toll on Phi Phi and it´s hard to say how long it can keep up with this hectic tempo.  Today, I want to share with you everything I learned during our short stay on Phi Phi. Where is the best place to stay? What to eat and drink on a budget? What is there to do beside partying? Where can you find the most stunning beaches? Keep on reading and you find out.  This is my idea of a tropical paradise. But first, here´s some geology and history 101 for you. The Phi Phi islands are located in Andaman sea, near the east cost of Thailand. You can find them between Phuket and Krabi, so it´s no s...

Přepnout do češtiny The surrounding areas of Krabi offer a lot to see. This is where you find beautiful coasts lined with white limestone cliffs, tiny little islands with the whitest sand and the clearest water in the world. It is a place of Buddhist temples and monkeys who eat your snacks, and it´s a place full of natural beauty and mangrove forests. Talk about paradise… Obviously, during one week you can´t really see it all. But here´s a look at what you can fit into a tight schedule while staying in Ao-Nang. In my itinerary I had a few ideas when it comes to trips and tours. I knew I wanted to spend some time with the elephants, I chose two destinations for organized tours and I had some extra ideas in head just in case we actually have time for more. So, eventually, we managed to participate in two one-day tours (James Bond Island and Four Islands), visit an elephant sanctuary and rent motorbikes for a day to explore the area on our own.
