In 2013 I backpacked Thailand for the first time as part of a longer trip from India, around Southeast Asia and Australia. It was a trip that changed my life!
I was so moved and inspired by what I discovered during that trip that I started this travel blog to share my experiences.
Little did I know back then that travel blogging would lead me to enjoying many more trips to Thailand, and end up exploring so many different parts of this beautiful country.
Over the years I have travelled to so many places in Thailand and written hundreds of Thailand travel blogs, guides, travel tips and itineraries to help others experience the wonders of the Land of Smiles.
Thailand is such a great place for all types of travellers – it’s one of the best places to take a first backpacking trip, it’s safe for solo female travellers, it’s also great for digital nomads, families, honeymooners, retirees. Thailand has it all!
My first experiences of Thailand were some of the most captivating – the heady streets of Bangkok, the glittering temples of Chiang Mai and the beautiful beaches and islands in the south.
My earliest Thailand blogs and stories capture the wonder of that first trip to Thailand. Later on I started writing more travel guides and tips to help out others who were planning their own trips.
Thailand is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world, for good reason, so it’s important to research and plan your trip for the best experience, especially if it’s your first time and you visit in peak season.
So I’ve collated all my best Thailand travel blogs, guides, tips, stories and itineraries on this page to make it easier for you to find what you need. I hope you enjoy reading them and find them useful for planning your own adventures around amazing Thailand.
