Today, I received a priceless gift. The island of Koh Tao decided to affirm its love for me and offered me a perfect dive. credit: KohTaocompleteguide.com It started with the diving conditions. Tanote Bay was my first love two years ago, but since my arrival, I hadn't been able to fully appreciate it. Too much wind, too many waves, poor visibility, rain, downpours... Today, when I arrive at Tanote, the conditions are perfect and visibility is at least 20 meters. The first mom

Just for fun, I decided to tell you about the differences between Thailand and Canada. When you think about visiting a foreign country, you expect to speak another language, but it's much more trivial details that create the real change of scenery. The sun and the moon The first difference is the behavior of the sun and the moon. Yes, yes, here they don't act the same way. Who would have thought. Let's start with the sun... which sets faster.

Today I am heading to the Golden Triangle. This place located at the confluence of Myanmar, Thailand and Laos, has played a very special role over the centuries.

Since I arrived in Chiang Mai five weeks ago, I've been taking it easy. Life is a long, quiet river that is shared between long walks in the city, culinary discoveries and... foot massages. But this morning I'm leaving for a journey that will take me I don't know where. We've rented two motorcycles and we'll let the wind take us. Only my first stop is known, Chiang Rai, located further north, very close to the Burmese border. I chose it because someone is waiting for me there
