With a major number of Singapore's population being of Indian descent, this time of year brings out the sights and sounds of this wonderful culture here in the city. From the bustling city of Bangkok, we headed south to the picturesque beach town of Mae Phim near Rayong to enjoy how locals live. After, a short motorbike ride and ferry and you are on Ko Samet, island to relax and taste some delicious food. From there, we stop at the notorious beach city of Pattaya. While known for its dark and shady parts, the city has some nice beaches to walk and enjoy fresh fruits and a cold beer. To wrap it up, a short stop in the capital, Bangkok to enjoy a photo walk and remember just how far along this country has come and all that it offers travellers.

That's until you meet up with old friends after a long awaited meet up! This was a first! To travel from one country to another on a bike. The time it took to cross was actually faster than by car or bus. With borders finally opening up after over two years, it was a welcomed adventure.
