Chaing Mai is full of Buddhist temples or "Wats". Each of them has something that makes them unique, but "Wat Phra That Doi Sethup" might be the prettiest I've ever visited. Located at the top of a mountain, it's best visited at night, when the lighting makes the gold shine even more. Plus, you have a beautiful view of the city.

Back in Thailand! Now I'll be doing the north, that I skipped on my previous visit. I'll also be spending some days with 2 old friends. After constantly meeting so many new people, it feels awesome to have familiar faces to talk to.

The path to Sai Nuan beach is long and confusing, and you'll need to cross several resorts to get there, but you won't regret it. The beach is one of the best ones I've been so far, and there's usually almost no one. After relaxing all day at the beach I said goodbye to Koh Tao. Where am I going next?

Today I got my Open Water certification! 🎓 Even though I hesitated at the beginning, this was an amazing experience, and definitely worth the money. Now I'll have to do some dives during the rest of my trip. Indonesia? Philippines? Who knows.

2nd day of my 3-day Open Water certification. Diving is such an incredible thing! "It's the closest you'll ever get to flying" my instructor told me today, and I couldn't agree more.

Koh Tao is one of the best destinations in the world for scuba diving, so I couldn't think of a better place to get my Open Water certification. Today was my 1st out of 3 days, and I loved every second of it. Can't wait for tomorrow!

"Secret Mountain" is a must if you're in Koh Pha Ngan. It's not very easy to get there, which means it's never crowded, and the view of the island is astonishing!
