You’ll never know if you don’t go!
The first time I went to Thailand I didn’t enjoy it at all, because I didn’t do my research and I really should know better considering I work in travel, shameful I know. Thailand has something for everyone you just need to find the place to suit you.

But this time was FANTASTIC, I chose the right place for me. Now, if you’re like me, and want to get away from it all on a gorgeous beach, good hotel, great food, non busy beaches, sunshine AND for a price that you won’t need a second mortgage for, then the island of Ko Chang in Thailand is the place to go. Honestly, it requires a bit of effort to get to Ko Chang, we had to change planes in Bangkok (as with most of the destinations) in Thailand, and a boat ride, but although I arrived tired I was still able to muster the energy to sit at the pool bar or should I say in the pool on a bar stool, with a long cool drink looking out at the clear blue sea and almost empty golden sandy beach.

Many people who go to San Francisco go straight to the typical tourist attractions… Fisherman’s Wharf, the Golden Gate Bridge, riding the cable cars & Union Square.  These things can be fun but there are better things to do.  I personally like San Francisco for its neighbourhoods and the topography, and simply walking around can give you the best feel for one of the greatest cities in the world.  Suggestions include…

 - Coit Tower at night… both North Beach with its Italian restaurants and cafes and Chinatown are close by, and there are great views from Coit Tower.  Pick a restaurant by its popularity… the more people that are there, the better the restaurant!
