pures-bunt

Chiang Mai is a wonderfully relaxed place where I immediately feel more than comfortable. You can stroll through numerous markets in the old town, eat fantastic food, ride a...

08/11/2018 Continuing my temple tour in glorious sunshine. Today I'm heading to Wat Phra Singh, the most important temple in the western part of the old city, built in 1345 by...

Today is Temple Time. My tour guide suggests a temple walk through Chiang Mai, which leads through interesting streets to the most beautiful temples. I usually find these walks...

I instantly liked my room at 60 Blue House, it's so wonderfully turquoise and offers plenty of space and storage options. My wardrobe fits in perfectly. Haha. I booked a...

It is 6:00 a.m. and time for me to say goodbye. I had such a great time here. I enjoyed being by myself and lounging around. I loved my bungalow, the beach, and...

I'm happy. The days are just flying by and every other day I book two more nights with Booking. It's cheaper than extending on site because I can redeem 15 euro...

Wonderful! I'm just on vacation. I'm not renting a scooter, I'm not exploring the island, I'm not going on hikes. I'm just listening to my stomach, which tells me that I really...

A palm-fringed, bright white sandy beach and turquoise water await me at Thong Nai Pan. A steep hill separates it into the two sub-beaches Yai and Noi, bordered by small black...

The weather here on the east coast is getting worse every day. It's raining and storming more and more often. The rainy season is approaching. I'm the only guest at Smile...

Quickly, the three booked nights at Bottle Beach turn into six. The peace and seclusion are simply good for the soul. I sleep until I wake up naturally and then I leisurely head...

The travel guide says that the family-run Smile Bungalows at the western end of the beach offer true peace and seclusion and are very popular with old hippies and long-term...

It's wonderful. I feel like Robinson Crusoe. The sand is white and fine, the water turquoise and clear. No souls around and no jellyfish either. Yeah! A dream. My dream. ...

I'm in need of a real break. Hideaway on a beautiful, preferably secluded beach. The more authentic, the better. I remember doing this in Malaysia in 2013 and in Sri Lanka in...

In the great restaurant from last night, interesting tours of Koh Samui were offered, but my gut feeling tells me that I still need to relax (literally, sea) muuuuch more....

Aaaah, how wonderful! A bungalow all to myself. And my own bathroom, without having to dress up and walk down the hallway. The bed is huge and the mattress is thick, soft, and...

I need a vacation from traveling. I don't want to do anything, see any temples, visit any night markets, or go to any waterfalls or lookout points... I just want to do nothing....

The cutest airport in the world is definitely the Koh Samui International Airport! It's funny that it can call itself international because it's more like an airport baby of the...

Hi everyone! For a while now, the idea has been floating around in my head that I could introduce one of my little helpers and travel companions to you from time to time. The...

...when everyone, men and women, wear sneakers and trainers. ...when you can already recognize that you're in the 'Fragrant Harbour' by the 'scent' of durian and chicken feet....

Today on 16.10.2018, I have been traveling for almost 2 months. I have already been to 6 countries: South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland, Nepal, Hong Kong, and Macao!!! Amazing. And...

Today is All-you-can-Market day. Unfortunately, there is not enough time for a big trip, so I want to at least visit the recommended markets in Mong Kok. The subway is...

With my new iPad keyboard, I happily jump on the subway. Over on Hong Kong Island, I get off at Central. This is where the financial heart of Hong Kong beats. Skyscrapers soar...

Since I want to go to Apple today, the day is unfortunately not suitable for a nice trip to Lantau, Lamma or the New Territories. That's a pity, but can't be changed. So today...

I love my iPad Pro 10.5 inch 526GB with keyboard and pen. I thought long and hard before I decided to purchase this little gem from the Apple family for this trip. And what can...

Yesterday I thought about how wonderfully ugly this street - Shanghai Street - is and that I must remember the name to come back and take photos of the incredibly ugly corners...

My first day in Hong Kong. Yeah! Instead of jumping up and starting an extensive sightseeing tour, I turn around comfortably on the sofa and close my eyes for another half an...

Living in Hong Kong is incredibly expensive. No wonder, more than 7 million people squeeze onto 263 islands with a total area of 1104 square kilometers. The population growth...

...you think it's like India, only much better because the locals are friendlier and everything is somehow more relaxed. ...you get lost 5 times a day in Thamel at the...

The last days in Kathmandu and thus in Nepal fly by. During the day I work through my to-do list: • Write numerous accommodation requests to possible hosts in Hong Kong at...
