Thailand

Thailand is home to some of the most famous dishes in the world. From the ubiquitous Pad Thai to the fiery Tom Yum soup, Thailand’s cuisine is known for its bold and spicy flavors. One must-try dish is the green papaya salad, known as Som Tam, which combines spicy chilies, tart lime juice, and sweet palm sugar with crunchy strips of green papaya. Another popular dish is the massaman curry, a rich and complex dish made with a blend of spices, coconut milk, and tender chunks of beef or chicken.

Vietnam

Vietnam’s cuisine is influenced by both Chinese and French traditions. One must-try dish is pho, a hearty noodle soup that combines tender slices of beef or chicken with aromatic herbs and spices. Another popular dish is the banh mi, a French-inspired sandwich that features a crusty baguette filled with savory meats, pickled vegetables, and fresh herbs.

Malaysia

In Malaysia, the cuisine is a blend of Indian, Chinese, and Malay flavors. One must-try dish is the nasi lemak, a fragrant rice dish that is cooked with coconut milk and pandan leaves. It is typically served with fried chicken or fish, sambal chili paste, and a variety of side dishes like boiled egg, cucumber, and peanuts.

Indonesia

Indonesia is another must-visit destination for food lovers. The cuisine is known for its rich and complex flavors, which are often derived from a blend of spices and herbs.

]]> Thailand is famous for its paradise-like beaches, and each years thousands visit this beautiful country for a chance to swim, sunbathe and snorkel in the azure waters around Thailand’s coast. If you’re thinking of visiting this wonderful country, check out this list of three of the best beaches you will find.

Lamai Beach, Koh Samui

On the tropical island of Koh Samui, make a beeline for the stunning Lamai Beach. Gentle waters lap at golden sands, and it’s easy to spend a whole day here, relaxing on the sands. If you have energy in the evening, head to one of the famed bars where you will find plenty of delicious drinks and all night dancing.

Ao Nang

This pretty resort town on the Andaman coast is surrounded by tall, verdant cliffs and pristine white sands.You can stay and relax on the beach all day, or hire a boat out to one of the nearby islands, or a dive site if you’ve brought your diving gear.

Railay Beach, Krabi

This small peninsula sits between Ao Nang and the city of Krabi, and is only accessible by boat (high cliffs cut off mainland access). If you take a boat out here, expect stunningly clear waters, peaceful beaches and opportunities to explore the local mangroves.

]]> When it comes down to deciding where to travel to, it’s not always easy to make a choice. Should you travel to the more luxurious hotspots, the classic historic destinations, or should you go to somewhere more modern such as a third world country? There are good reasons to choose any of them, but right now we’re going to specifically focus on why you should definitely travel to a third world country.

It’s Eye-Opening

So many of us live our daily lives without thinking for one second what it’s like for people to live in poorer areas of the world. Third world countries are known for not having the best conditions, which makes it a real eye-opening experience to visit there. It’s one thing to “send prayers” from afar, but a much more concrete sign of solidarity to the locals when they see your face and they recognize that you empathize with them. You can donate money to them, but even if you don’t, just being there means a lot to them.

Everything Is Cheap

From a different perspective, there’s another reason you may want to travel to a third world country: everything is much cheaper there. If you’re trying to experience a lavish vacation in the finest hotels, you can find one for a fraction of the price than you’re used to elsewhere. Whether you want to get a two hour long massage for $10, or stay at a five-star hotel for $40 a night, it’s truly an economical way to travel!

]]> Are you looking for a fun city to vacation in for a few weeks? Are you somewhat of a party animal? Are you ready for a wild adventure where you meet all kinds of like-minded people for endless nights of fun? Yes, we know that sounded like the beginning of an advertisement, but that’s only because the following place truly satisfies all of those criteria. If you’re looking to party hard in paradise, you may want to consider flying to Koh Phangan in Thailand.

Full Moon Party

It may sound like a bit of a buzzword to call Koh Phangan a party island, but that truly is what it is. There are systemically scheduled parties all week long, and they always lead to the well-known Full Moon Party on Full Moon Beach. Unless you’ve been there before, it’s hard to describe—but it’s truly unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Imagine a beach that’s thousands of yards long, covered with dancing partiers, and connected by multiple clubs and DJs. That’s Full Moon Party for you.

And The Nights Preceding It

But it’s not just about the Full Moon Party, because there are multiple massive raves thrown in the nights that lead up to it. Most notable is a major bash called “Jungle Party”, which is exactly what it sounds like. So if you’re looking for a place to truly dance till the morning comes, this is the place to do it. Oh yeah, and the ocean view is absolutely gorgeous when the sun rises.

]]> Are you looking for a fun city to vacation in for a few weeks? Are you somewhat of a party animal? Are you ready for a wild adventure where you meet all kinds of like-minded people for endless nights of fun? Yes, we know that sounded like the beginning of an advertisement, but that’s only because the following place truly satisfies all of those criteria. If you’re looking to party hard in paradise, you may want to consider flying to Koh Phangan in Thailand.

Full Moon Party

It may sound like a bit of a buzzword to call Koh Phangan a party island, but that truly is what it is. There are systemically scheduled parties all week long, and they always lead to the well-known Full Moon Party on Full Moon Beach. Unless you’ve been there before, it’s hard to describe—but it’s truly unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Imagine a beach that’s thousands of yards long, covered with dancing partiers, and connected by multiple clubs and DJs. That’s Full Moon Party for you.

And The Nights Preceding It

But it’s not just about the Full Moon Party, because there are multiple massive raves thrown in the nights that lead up to it. Most notable is a major bash called “Jungle Party”, which is exactly what it sounds like. So if you’re looking for a place to truly dance till the morning comes, this is the place to do it. Oh yeah, and the ocean view is absolutely gorgeous when the sun rises.
