Dear everyone

I've just back from Nan, the peaceful province at the North. Travel one week there made me very tired but extremely fun. Due to this time of the year is low season of Nan, so it looks like I am the only one tourist there. This is the longest trip of mine this year but the spending is the lowest.

Stay at the teak house, enjoy Northern food is my favorite @^_^@

I rent 4WD car and hire the local guide to travel around Nan. There are plenty of interesting travel places, I visit many National Parks (mountain, waterfall and forest), temples, museums, fisherman village and hill tribe village. Nan is bigger than I imagine, I miss many places in the guidebook because it is so far from the city.

If I have more day, I will go for rafting at the famous place name "Nam Wa". Anyway, I can go there again on the Winter to visit every places I miss.

Travel at Nan is quite similar to the other provinces in the North, full with natural resources and history. I enjoy travelling in the green season and meet the expectation because everywhere in the National Park is green. I made the right choice.

Have a nice day.

Dear everyone

I spent one whole week at Surat Thani, the largest province in the South of Thailand. I try to plan less on this trip (follow the faith), just focus on feeding money to the tourist industry. Anyway, I still need adventure under the proper budget. It made me excite and amazing everywhere I visit, everything I eat and every activities I did. I realize that I still have much energy, age cannot stop me to walk all day long in the jungle, climb to the top of the mountain back and forth, swim at the waterfall and skin diving on the strong sun (but it almost kill me now @^_^@ I cannot feel my leg and my skin turn to black).

Surat Thani has many interesting travel places. Although famous places or most people know are the islands such as Samui, Pha-ngan, Tao and Ang Thong National Marine Park but there still have many beautiful places on the main land also.

If you have time, pack your belongings and please follow me to "Wat Suan Mokkhaphalarm" (garden of liberation), "Phra Boromathat Chaiya", "Khao Sok National Park" (rainforest, cliffs, waterfalls, cave), "Ratchaprapha Dam" (lake, limestone mountains, small island and rafthouse), "Kamin Cave", "Si Surat Stupa", "Khao Tha Phet Nature and Wildlife Study Centre", "Ko Samui", "Ang Thong National Marine Park" and "Krung Ching Waterfall" at "Khao Luang National Park". Yes, I end this trip at Nakorn Si Thammarat before go back to Bangkok.

Have a nice day.
