Now currently in my ninth month here in China, and it has been a roller coaster ride these past nine months to say the least. A real combination of good and bad moments, but that can happen anywhere I suppose.
On to happier topic, Thailand!
My recent vacation to Thailand was unreal! I can’t exactly put it all into words, but it most definitely is a country I would visit again if given the chance but for longer period of time than my previous time spent there.
First stop in Thailand was the legendary Bangkok. I stayed at the “Bodega Bangkok Hostel” for three unforgettable and amazing nights in this unreal hostel. Great people, great food and location was all on point, but most of all the staff that works there is legendary crew of people when it comes to helping to book tours, organize drinking games for everyone at the hostel, Then we have Max gathering a crowd of people to go out and party for night usually at “Koh Sam Road” or just simply suggesting things to do or see. Either at night or during the day they know their stuff.
During the days was usually spent wit some people going to explore the city, markets, food and whatever else we could find during our time in Bangkok. I actually bought some traditional looking Thai clothing as is the tourist thing to do.

This day tour is offered by the hostel for a good price and is something I highly recommend seeing during your time there. You see a few different temples throughout Bangkok, a few river boats, try some cultural food and the tour guide if you happen to be so lucky is Suez. She is an amazing girl, to talk to and hang with, plus she knows her stuff about the city. If you're a car nut you can definitely bring that up with her, she will know than you expect and probably more than you!



My next location was Phuket for about a week, where I again stayed another hostel the “Bodega Phuket Hostel”. Both hostels are owed by the same guys from America. Again I recommend staying here, you're close to beaches, street food, clubs, and not to far away by scooter, tuk-tuk or taxi to go see some amazing tourist attractions.
During my time here I actually met up with a friend whom I work with in China, we’re both teachers and I also ran into another girl I met previously at the Bangkok location which was hilarious. The staff here like the Bodega Bangkok is amazing, the food, the service and especially when I got a little bit sick the staff took me to the hospital and made sure I got the right medications and all. It was walking into a family or a close tight net of friends.

Bangla Street
This street here is packed with clubs and bars to your left and right. It’s impossible to go to Bangla street at night and say you didn’t have a good time. The have indoor and outdoor clubs, same for bars, dancers, street food and to top it all off you're walking distance to Patong beach if you want to keep the party going with an amazing view! One thing I did notice about Phuket is the amount of reggae bars everywhere. I never been to a country and seen so many reggae bars/clubs in my life!


Beaches I recommend
Just a quick thing here. Beaches I recommend is Kata beach and Freedom beach, both are close to there hostel and its not crowed like Patong beach.

Besides that bad experience and getting sick for a day in Thailand, I would say my trip was all in all an unforgettable journey and one I hope to experience again minus the delays and confusions at the airports!
