The top visited destinations of Thailand include Phuket which is naturally blessed with a relaxing atmosphere, pristine beaches and a vibrant nightlife.
For snorkelling and divers, Phi Phi Island is the best in thailand. The country is blessed with the most exciting cities. From Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Ayyuthiya to Krabi every city is worth seeing.
The traditional festivals include the Loy Krathong which is the festival of lights and Songkran, the new year festival.
The mouthwatering foods of Turkey also give refreshing aromas and texture. These include Thai dishes such as Pad Thai, Tom Yum Goong and Somtum.
All of them have their own uniqueness. If you fancy nature then Phi Phi islands are a must.
The country is very cheap so you can have a really good time with a decent budget. Getting a massage is usually around 180 Thai Baht so I was getting one every single day throughout my trip.
Azerbaijan
This country is located at the crossroads of Eastern Europe and Western Asia. Azerbaijan is popalr due to its vibrant culture and modern day developments along beautiful landscapes, architecture and rich historic sites.
Baku was love! So full of history and culture. Food was good too, different. All the landscapes were beautiful in Gabala and Sheki. Gobustan was full of history, we loved it. People were very friendly and our tour guide was really good. We rented a car without tour guide for outside of Baku with Meer Ali. It is a very clean country, has hygienic street food, is super safe and we didn’t come across any tourist scams in our 14 day tour.
Local markets are worth exploring, local train is very convenient and clean too. All the museums and touristy places are very accessible in Old City. Got to see active mud volcanoes and active springs. They’re an hour drive from Gobustan, only Russian taxis can drive the route. We loved every bit of our stay. Can’t wait to go back to Azer!
