KOH PHI PHI

So remember this fantastic movie  The Beach (2000) with Leonardo Di Caprio still relatively young?
The Beach is Koh Phi Phi Leh shore line that became so famous after the movie came out. Incredibly touristic place but so far this is the most emerald water I've ever seen...
We started from island hoping and snorkeling on the way to the final destination.

Thailand- the land of smiles or the land of smells?

Rudyard Kipling, "The first condition of understanding a foreign country is to smell it"

Yes Thailand smells. No matter where u go, u will smell it. The smells can differ from the most wonderful ones like orchids and lemongrass to food smells( which can be also very different) to literally garbage. And it is not hard to imagine that money smells like orchids and poverty like a dried salted fish. Though there are some rich people in Thailand (about 40%), there also some poor ones that in a good case live with 200 Baht per day(6$).

:(

this smells!
