Thailand part 4. The turtle island!

On christmas day, we got on a speedboat and headed to Koh Mannat where Queen's sea turtle conservation project is located.





The whole island had been turned into a big turtle conservation station! I think this area was some sort of a turte nursery, it was filled with pools where the turtles were swimming in

There were cute and tiny baby turtles...



...as well as these big and fat ones! I wonder why the big ones don't get to swim like the babies do :(



There was also a museum filled with all kinds of turtle-related stuff. Some bottled turtle organs, for example.


..and bottled baby turtles. Ewww.











Since the island was really tiny, we could easily walk around the whole place in about an hour. I was looking the most fabulous, but I was on vacation so it's ok. I guess. Love my chicken shirt though.




The sights were really pretty but unfortunately...


...there was shitloads of crap EVERYWHERE. You'd think that a preservation station would also try to preserve their nature but I guess not.



On the way back to the mainland, we stopped to do some fishing and snorkeling. Our speedboat driver catched a squid! Moment after taking this pic, it sprayed ink on him as a revenge.



I couldn't resist posting this pic, I think Santra looks so cute with snorkles lol!

Thailand part 3. Christmas eve by the beach!

Christmas eve in Mae Phim was seemed just like any other day. Only thing that reminded us that it's actually Christmas were american christmas carols played in beach-side mini market and few '' Merry christmas'' -signs by the doors of few shops amd restauraunts (mostly on those which owners were westerners)




So instead of glogg and christmas ham, we had margaritas by the beach and probably some super yummy seafood in our Christmas menu.Didn't mind at all, I hate almost all finnish christmas foods and I've been turning into a major seafood lover. I think I ate seafood EVERY SINGLE DAY on our trip lol.


A picture of a puppy just because that puppy was too cute and loveable ;__; I know what mom always said about playing with stray dogs but........couldn't help it





We didn't spend too much time with our family either. After having dinner with them, we headed back to beach to check out christmas lights ( or new year-lights, I don't know) and sky lanterns some locals sent from the beach. Ended up finding ourselves from Tequila Sunrise's happy hour. So much for the traditional Christmas! Maybe next year. Or not. In the end, I might actually prefer this type of Christmas.

Thailand part 2. Life's a beach!

Hi peeps!

Some random beachphotos this time! Enjoy~








This was my regular ; fresh fruit daiquiri! My favourite drink _ever.




Our baby! Santra was the one who always drove, I can't. Tried once and fell over, never gonna try again.



Beachside breakfast with banana pancakes, I could start my morning like this everyday for the rest of my life.





We ate insane amounts of ice cream.. this was not mine though, I just had to post this because I thought it looked funny.




I never thought I was much of a massage person. Turns out that I am. Foot spa= heaven. Oil and aromatherapy bodymassage = double heaven.








Beatiful sunset is beautiful. Nothing beats sitting at beach bar, enjoying a cold cocktail and watching the sun slowly fading to the horizon. I swear.

'till next time!

Ps. Shouldn't get excited just yet but....

Thailand part 1. HEL-IST-BKK!

Hello, missed me already?

I returned from Thailand last week already but I've had a lot of stuff going on so I haven't found a time to start blogging again! I said I might blog while there, but as soon as I got there I realised while on vacation, I really want to be on vacation from everything. So now I'll try to blog everything as quickly as I can and in some sort of a logical order, starting from the journey to there!

So on 20 th. of December, we packed our stuff to car, picked Santra up and started our journey from Helsinki-Vantaa airport!





Weather was most typical December weather in finland: rain, rain and more rain. Little voice in my headwas laughing at everyone who had spend their Christmas in such un-Christmasy weather, bwahahaaa.




Travelling look! Comfortness for the win!





Arriving to our pitstop, Istanbul!





We had 4 hours of waiting time so we got some Starbucks while waiting! Starbucks-lady wrote my name almost correctly...... Sorta cute though.






The plane we took to Bangkok was so much cooler than the one we flew to Istanbul with. It had touchscreens even in economy class and you could play games with it and stuff. I even found some chinese dramamovies and j-pop from the huuuuge medialibrary!



After a long flight during which I couldn't sleep for even a second, two hour drive from Bangkok, quick visit to Tesco to buy groceries (+ chocolate and drinks relieve travelling stress lol) we fiinally arrived to Mae Phim and our rented apartment, Villa Fabella in Bali Residence! God I'm missing that house already ;___; It was so cute and cozy~



Tired but happy traveller!

I have bunch of more interesting stuff to post so stay tuned! 'Till next time~
