Island-Hopping in THAILAND | Phuket, Bangkok, Phi Phi Islands

At the end of 2023, we visited Thailand for the very first time, specifically staying in Phuket and Bangkok. I went into the trip knowing virtually nothing about the country, but after two island-hopping tours, a bit of snorkelling, an elephant experience, a couple of temple visits, many hours of shopping, and several beach days, I could see why Thailand is known for being one of the happiest countries on Earth. 0:00 Intro 1:13 Phuket - Resort 8:15 Phang Nga Bay 14:32 Elephant Sanctuary 17:43 Tri Trang Beach 21:18 Patong 24:48 Phi Phi Islands 32:22 Phuket Old Town 35:42 NYE Celebrations 42:00 Bangkok 47:24 Temples Tags: vlog, travel, holiday, trip, Thailand, south east asia, bangkok, phuket, patong, beach, tropical, island, phi phi, phi phi islands, james bond island, cruise, boat, tour, elephant, shopping, siam, icon siam, paragon, wat arun, temple, thai, tri trang, bay, snorkelling, crab, fish, wildlife, kayak, cave, limestone, old town, celebration, fireworks, new year, nye, lantern, lanterns, food, phang nga, naka island, naka, elephant sanctuary, monkey, floating market, wildlife
