TASTE OF THAILAND
... IT'S TIME TO LET GO, TO LET IT HAPPEN, TO LOSE MYSELF AND FIND MYSELF ONCE MORE ... EVERYTHING I AM STARTS HERE

Probably I had really needed this holiday .. Discover a paradise really pristine like Surin Island... AMAZING, ENCHANTING, WILD AND SO ON..
The Surin Islands are rated as one of Thailand's prime island locations. They are located 60km west off the Andaman Coast and are accessible by day trip from Khuraburi. The Surin Islands rate as one of the top snorkeling locations in Thailand.
Long broad and shallow coral reefs line the sheltered eastern coast providing extensive opportunities for beginner snorkelers. Specific off shore sites scattered around the Surin islands offer more challenging snorkeling and opportunities to view larger animals such as sharks & rays. The weather in the Surin Islands dutifully follows that on the mainland with sunny weather during high season from November to May and heavy rains during the monsoon season during the northern hemisphere summer months.
The only real difference is at the fringes of the season and during low season. During this time the deep showers are more localised and it is quite possible for Koh Phra Thong to be saved the torrential rain hitting the mainland.
The Surin Islands Marine Park hosts a phenomenal range of flora and fauna on the land and in the sea.
The casual eco-tourist will be able to enjoy a glimpse of the park's promise on a Surin Islands day trip.
The commited marine naturalist can visit a broad variety of sites on a Surin Islands 3d2n Snorkel Expedition and marvel at the impressive bio-diversity.

Burmese Learning Center in Kuraburi Thailand
We need your help to keep the school doors of this Learning Center open! Provide education to ~80 Burmese migrant children in this rural area in Southern Thailand. Without it they will lose their ability to go to school and possibly fall victim to child labor.
Contact us:
The North Andaman Region of Southern Thailand is home to a large population of Burmese migrant workers who come with the hope of finding a living wage and a better way of life.
The Burmese Learning Center is equipped to provide education for 80 Burmese migrant children living in the Kuraburi district of Phang Nga Province in Thailand. Here students receive education from dedicated teachers and visiting volunteers which provides them with hope for a better future.

TheSummergirl_ISLAND PARADISE, Mu Ko Surin National Park, Thailand
A short vlog about the most memorable summer trip to Mu Ko Surin National Park, Thailand, which is only open to public for half a year during the dry season. Without any phone signal and 4 hours of weak wifi a day, I got the peace and quiet I very much needed here, cut off from the busy everyday life in the city.
No email to bother me during vacation, no unwanted news from people, no alerts and alarms from all sorts of apps in my phone.
The desertedness aside, Surin was perfect for its innate beauty, the untouched water and sand, amazing greenery and everything that human possibly could want from mother nature.
I so miss it and hope to revisit soon, for longer days and nights.
