Annika Urm’s Thailand Travel Diary

When you open your Facebook, all you see is photos of Thailand in your news feed. From all the beautiful places in the world, seems like the everybody is travelling there this winter. And so did I. I travelled there for New Years to be exact.

Why did I go there? What attracts me to Thailand is the crystal clear and blue water, white sands, delicious cuisine, excellent massage and I needed a holiday. I was having two massages a day, since it is unbelievably cheap there. Full body oil massage and foot massage costs only 6 euros per hour. How can you say no to that? Also two full bags of fruit costs 10 euros and that lasted for three days for four people. So you do the math.

And let’s not even talk about the food and especially seafood - shrimps, lobsters, fish etc. You can get them all straight from the port or from the restaurants of course. Price for a full plate of king prawns was 10 euros and one oyster costs 1 euro. Of course you can find the same food for 100 euros, if you visit a super expensive and posh restaurant. Personally, I like to go to non touristic places and restaurants, where you can experience the true Thai cuisine.

Holiday Inn Resort PHI PHI Island

One of the best place for romantic escape place is Phi Phi Island, where you can find on the long and sandy beach Holiday Inn Resort.

I didn’t shop a lot, since everything in the shops has quite poor quality, but I did find one thing that I liked - sea pearls and with very good prices! They became my new weakness.And if you visit Phi Phi island, I recommend to go to the other side of the island, where there are no tourists and you can experience true romance with your loved one. In the morning, when I woke up, there was a heart drawn in the sand for love. It feels grew to lose yourself and just enjoy the amazing paradise that Thai is.

Overall I would say that Thailand is very pleasant, cheap and beautiful place to spend your holiday, whether with your boyfriend or with the whole family.
