Strolling in Singapore

This was an absolutely unplanned trip. One evening I heard from my Belgian host-father that he was having a business trip to Singapore and asked if I had time to join him. That night I booked my plane ticket and there I was in Singapore :)

As I mentioned, this was unplanned so I don't have any travel insight information to share but photos. 

Koh Lipe: My Own Paradise on Earth (part 2)

Continued from part 1..

For snorkeling around Koh Lipe, there are 2 options to choose: closer or further circles. We chose the further circle and paid 1,500 baht total  (US$50, one boat can carry around 8 passengers). The further circle took around 6 hours. We left the resort at 9 a.m and returned around 3 p.m.  The weather was gloomy in the morning but we were very lucky that the sun came out in the afternoon. Under the water was so much more beautiful when there was sunshine.

Let's go...

The long-tailed boat that we took for our trip. 

Uncle Thep was our boat driver and guide, he's awesome!
