Most Memorable Moment
Thailand is a destination that amazed me in the most unexpected ways possible. The hot springs and emerald pools looked straight out of a living dream and Ao Nang Beach was the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the much-needed me-time.
One thing that stood out the most for me was snorkelling at Chicken Island, an experience that will linger with me for the rest of my life. Despite being a non-swimmer, I got a chance to watch the colourful marine life so closely. Seeing the underwater corals and fish swimming in crystal clear waters was nothing short of surreal.
My Travel Highlight
With so many beautiful chapters unfolding each day, Thailand was truly a dream come true. Snorkelling with coral reefs and witnessing fish swim just inches away, I realised how beautiful the underwater world really is. My guide’s patience and encouragement made it all possible.
I also deeply enjoyed trying authentic Thai cuisine, particularly mango sticky rice, pad thai, mango shakes and cocktails served in bamboo, an experience you won’t find anywhere else.
