Bangkok, Thailand

Bangkok is the capital and largest city in Thailand. It is also the home of the Thai King's main residence, The Grand Palace. Bangkok is a hectic city that is loud, colourful and busy.

Ao Nang, Krabi, Thailand

Ao Nang is a beach town in the region of Krabi, in Southern Thailand.

A lot of tourists visit Ao Nang to go diving and go on tours and visit islands on the Longtail boats.

I meet my brother in Ao Nang and we relaxed and ate lots and lots of yummy Thai food.

Longtail boats anchored off the beach.
