As serious hobby photographers we just could not help it. When you are on Kecil, the smaller of the Perhentian Islands, off of the east coast of Malaysia you just need to take photos and film. And that is great! See the director’s cut of our Perhentian Island (above the water) experience below.
Enjoy!
For the underwater experience check this post. And the full story is here.
The next stop took us to Mae Hong Son. So far, everywhere we have gone in Thailand we have liked. Mae Hong Son is same same but different! It is a very quiet town close the border of Myanmar. We encountered only very few tourists here. Those who link Thailand to mainstream mass tourism will have to change their view when coming to Mae Hong Son. It is always nice to be in places where visitors are appreciated and welcomed but not the main source of income for the people. In fact here the tourism sector felt really tiny.
We rented a scooter and drove to all the different sights just outside of town. Continue reading “Mae Hong Son and the Long Neck Karen”
We arrived in Kerala, a beautiful state in the very south of India. The first stop on our route were the backwaters of Kerala. The backwaters are a huge net of rivers, canals and lakes that are all connected and just waiting to be explored.
The main hub for backwater tours is a town called Alappuzha. From here you can either take a houseboat for an overnight tour or explore the backwaters by canoe. Some small tour boats offer one-day tours. We chose to take a houseboat and did not regret it. See the full post and the video of our adventure below.
