As enjoyable as traveling in Southeast Asia is, there are some aspects I could also do without. Of course, “hate” may be worded a little drastically here. Also, much of this is not only limited to Southeast Asia, but also affects other tropical and/or less developed regions.
Be that as it may, here is an alphabetical list of things that can sometimes make traveling a bit tedious. Continue reading 5 things I hate about thee(*)
I am back home!
After 18 flights, (roughly) 60 trips with boats and other watercraft, 37 days in a rental car, and more than 250 trips in other means of ground transport (e.g. train, bus, taxi, subway, or bicycle), and travelling almost 44,000 km by air, about 800 km by water, and surely over 10,000 km by land, I have finally returned to Austria.

The tourist beach of Krabi
Ao Nang is quite touristy. This is why I actually just wanted to use it as a base for a trip to the surrounding area. However, as I am recovering from my most recent food poisoning, I took it easy and stayed in town after all. Continue reading The tourist beach of Krabi

The amazing beaches of Krabi
After my stay on the island of Koh Lanta, I went back to the mainland. However, also my next destination had some properties that are usually typically of an island: It can only be reached by boat, and not by road. Continue reading The amazing beaches of Krabi

I decided to visit the province of Krabi for that, as it is supposed to be not as crowded as the “big names” like Phuket or Ko Samui. The first three (full) days, I spent on the island of Koh Lanta. Continue reading Relaxing on Koh Lanta
