And while there are a lot of things to do in Bangkok, I still wanted to get out of the city for the weekend. It was while surfing online that I saw this photo. I knew I needed to visit this floating raft hotel. Now...

Some popular destinations like Khao Yai and Erawan National Parks top the list when it comes to a weekend trip from Bangkok.  I will also suggest you add Sai Yok National...

That’s because not many tourists go that way. It is more of a local hotspot than an international destination. But you will find all the throbbing pubs, bars, a raving nightlife, busy restaurants and of course, paradise-like coral...

If you have been there, you know that. If not, you can look up online. Of course, it has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. But ugh, they can be unbelievably crowded at times. Some people like it that way. Especially occupied by a younger crowd and...

It is not that these are not popular. But it takes some time and effort to reach there. Moreover, very few backpackers are acquainted with the abundance of lovely National Parks in Thailand.

Of course, you cannot compare the scenery of the snow-covered mountains of Himalayas. But the hill tribes and pagodas built on top of the mountains bring in a different kind of charm. Only a few decide to head north when in Thailand....
