The Best of Thailand

Top 5 Things We Learned

1. Koh Tao has earned it's recognition as one of the best dive/snorkel sights in the world
2. You can buy anything at the Chiang Mai night market
3. If an elephant hates you, it will poop in the pond where you're giving it a bath
4. Avoid the overrun tourist beaches of Koh Samui, and head to rugged Ko Tao (we were already told this by other travellers, but wanted to see for ourselves)
5. Cab drivers will abandon you in the middle of the night if they can't find your hotel in Phuket

Top 5 Things to Eat

1. Yellow Curry at Jang's at Haad Salad, Koh Phan Ngan
2. Pad Thai anywhere
3. Coconut shakes anywhere
4. Spring rolls at Haad Salad's Cookies Resort
5. Mini-McFlurries in Chiang Mai

Top 5 Overall Experiences

1. Snorkelling the coral reefs and fishy waters of Koh Tao
2. Ziplining through the jungles of Northern Thailand
3. Bathing and feeding elephants outside of Chiang Mai
4. Staying at the Funky Monkey Guesthouse
5. Navigating historical and modern Bangkok at the Grand Palace and Siam Square
