Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand

Hi Steemians.

I didn't had a lot of time to be active on Steemit in the last days because I'm working hard to be ready on the 10th of september for my year long travel. But, there's something I want to share with all of you . Two years ago, I went on a trip to Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand. I've been away for 5 weeks so you can guess it was a lot of travel and, to my taste, not enough time to slow down and enjoy the good vibes. Anyway, here's some picture I took and some toughts on the different countries.

Singapore
I've only been 3 days to Singapore but it was enough. My wallet wouldn't have survived more time. Of course I was amazed by the story of the country. Such a impressive growth in a small time. The city itself felt really rich and exceptionnally clean. It's not really surprising when you can get a 500$ fine for littering.

Indonesia
My trip in Indonesia is limited to Bali, Gili Trawangan and Lombok. It felt like a different world. People are not stressed with anything. Even if most of them live with less than 2$ per day, they seem to have found their way to happiness. I really enjoyed my time in Indonesia.

The crater of Mount Bathur wich is a volcano.

I did some hiking, some surf and a lot of sightseeing.

My favorite mode of transportation.

Vietnam
We mainly went to Vietnam for the Ha Long Bay. We stayed only 9 days in the country. For me, it was way to short and I plan to go back at least once in my life.

Thailand
My favorite country was definately Thailand. From the beaches of the south to the mountain and quietness of the north, it was love at first sight for me. We had a blast at the full moon party on the 2nd of June 2015.

My favorite place was Paih, a quiet small town north of Chiang Mai. I don't exactly know why but I could have stayed there for a lifetime.

I went on this 5 weeks trip with 5 awesome person. It really love them but at some point, I think it was a too big group. I can't wait to see the difference with my upcoming solo trip.

This is just a small picture resume of my past experiences. Would you follow me in my upcoming journey ? I want to post 2 to 3 times a week when I'll be in Central and South America. Mostly pictures and small stories.

Have a nice day fellow Steemians.

If you want to know about my upcoming trip.
