It is located some 700 km (435 mi) north of Bangkok, among some of the highest mountains in the countryWe will stay in Chiang Mai for one week, staying in the middle of the rice plantations and famous "Holywood" jungles, Close to Laos, Burma and Vietnam and then we will fly (Air Asia) to the south of Thailand, Phuket Island.The island was on one of the major trading routes between India and China, and was frequently mentioned in foreign ship logs of Portuguese, French, Dutch and English traders. Phuket, which is approximately the size of Singapore, is Thailand’s largest island.

Muy bien! Felicitaciones!
Qué alegría comenzar un nuevo viaje, no?

La semana pasada estuve en Tailandia, más específicamente en Koh Samui, de ahí fui a Koh Nang Yuan (una pequeña islita al lado de Koh Tao), y de ahí a Koh Phi Phi Don y Koh Phi Phi Leh, vía Phuket.

El tránsito desde Japón a las islas lo hice en Bangkok, pero sin parada, sólo escala y alguna que otra merienda en el aeropuerto :P

Que disfruten a full su viaje!

Abrazos
