wooden houses👍🏻suratthani

#timetotravel While strolling through Surat Thani's city center in Thailand one afternoon, I stumbled upon two charming vintage wooden houses. These houses were incredibly beautiful and exuded a rich sense of history. Their vintage design was simply breathtaking, and they appeared to have been recently repainted, radiating a fresh and vibrant look. I was particularly enamored with the exquisite window designs. These wooden houses were two stories tall, and their exteriors alone were a sight to behold, perfect for photography and creating lasting memories. Unfortunately, I couldn't explore the interiors, but they remained a rare and captivating find.

Island | Thailand | Koh Samui

❤️Intoxicatedly beautiful Su Mei SUMEI❤️ Koh Samui retains a natural and simple atmosphere. The nearby Ang Thong National Marine Park, Koh Tao, and Koh Nang Yuan are three pearls that attract many domestic and foreign tourists to come for vacation on the Gulf of Thailand. Beaches, snorkeling, sailing, as well as local specialties in dining and spa, are not only loved by international celebrities, but also the over 700 hotels on the island make it a paradise for hotel enthusiasts. Koh Samui

Ko Tao, Heaven on earth.

If you plan to visit Thailand or you are in Thailand please do not miss Koh Tao. It is simply the most beautiful place I've seen in Thailand so far. People in the island are super nice, they are very helpful and overall is a chill/party island. Don't book one or two nights, you will regret it. Go there for at least a week, everyday you'll find something new to do #kotao #KoTaoIsland #thailand #paradise

Amazing koh Tao

Most people come here to dive and to take dive master courses, and there are around 40 diving schools on the island now. I saw several packages for dive courses including accommodation for around 8,000 baht (around US$224) which is a great deal – and another reason why Koh Tao attracts so many divers, in addition to its many dive sites. #beachlife #thailand #kotao

Ko Tao

Ko Tao is an island in Thailand. Restaurants, nightspots and dive shops cluster in Mae Haad Beach and near Sai Ri Beach. Villas dot palm-fringed beaches such as Chalok Baan Kao Bay, on the south coast. In the northwest, Koh Nang Yuan is a group of islets with hilltop views. Ko Tao is known for its tropical coral reefs, with species including whale sharks and rays. Hawksbill and green turtles gather here to breed.

Kho Phangan wild paradise 🌴

Kho Phangan is truly a gem! The island welcomes you with amazing beaches, chill atmosphere and wild jungles. You should rent a scooter to enjoy the breeze and the views of the island are just amazing. Must visit the Herbal sauna next to Wat Pho temple. It’s amazing and very relaxing. #kohphangan #travel #thailand #Herbalsauna

What Pho is a must see

#bangkoktrip I went alone, and it was one of my favorite temples. Remember to bring some cash to get in, and for the ladies dress conservatively. It was stunning! One thing I wish I’d done is gotten a guide, so I could understand a bit more about what people were doing… Not necessary i’m just a fan of learning! I went without and still loved wandering the grounds. #thailand #summervacation

The Reclining Buddha & Thai Massage School

Wat Phra Chetuphon Wimon Mangkhalaram Rajwaramahawihan, also known as Wat Pho (or Wat Po) is not far from the Grand Palace and houses a gold Reclining Buddha, 15 meters high and 46 meters long, built in 1832. They say is is good luck to leave coin offerings in the temple, and you can purchase a bowl of coins inside and drop them in the offering bowls. Wat Pho also houses the School of Thai Medicine, which is the birthplace of traditional Thai massage, so don’t forget to get a massage to unwind and cool off after touring the complex. #thailand #bangkoktravel #watpho

The Reclining Buddha

Most beautiful Buddha statue I have ever seen in my life. You just enter into the place and you will be amazed to see the statue itself. Very vast area to walk around. It cost 200 bhat per person. I have covered most of the area but it takes a day to completely cover The Grand Palace and The Reclining Buddha. Loved it. A real cultural treasure and must do if you have arts,architecture, historical, cultural, or spiritual interests. #wecreate

Samui again 😍 ~ In my opinion, Chaweng Noi Beach is the most beautiful beach in Samui. uncrowded good privacy, perfect for relaxing. Fine sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, clear skies, contrasting with turquoise water, it so stunning. And every time I came to Samui my first choice will focus on quiet beaches, privacy and really suitable for relaxation, therefore Chaweng Noi will always be the first choice. ~ Chaweng Noi Beach, Tambon Bo Put, Ko Samui District, Surat Thani, Thailand #holidayvacation #samui #thailand #unforgettableexperiences #beaches #sea #staycation #awesomepic
