RE: Traveling to Southeast Asia: Kho Phi Phi & Khao Sok swimming bungalows on the lake of dead trees
Great post and photos. Bri gs back some memories. Phi Phi is just so beautiful. All those "misadventures" make for a great story I've found.
Buckets... you can't avoid them in the backpacking scene in Asia unfortunately. Ive been known to have one or two in my younger days i must admit.. but really if im spending the time and money to travel to such beautiful and different places why would i want to spend all day in bed with a hangover! I see it a lot though!
Following and looking forward to seeing more adventures
Cheers
Thank you!
I personally am not a fan of all the parties in Asia, I didn't travel around half the globe just to get hammered... However I don't mind if people party as long as they don't make my experience worse (and they did on Phi Phi).
But I simply try to avoid such places and go to calmer more beautiful ones like Khao Sok :)
We stayed elsewhere and did a very small group day trip to Phi Phi so we didn't get too many of the crowds. We also went many years ago.. I'm sure it's much worse now. Travelling around Thailand, Cambodia and Laos 15-20 years ago was quite different! Getting harder to find those little gems now.
Well I didn't give Phi Phi much of a chance, as I turned my back pretty fast to it. I guess if you wander off to the far end of the island you might find some nice places, but still I like it better when it's not that crowded.
If you are looking for an experience like 15-20 years ago check out Myanmar! I was there and it was really amazing, better than Thailand in my opinion. Lots of people told me it's like Thailand 20 years ago. I can't really tell because it was my first time in Asia.
