Hiking to the top of the mountain
Welcome welcome,
Today I wanted to share some more photos from the day trips I took around the islands of Koh Samui and Koh Pha Ngan. This one was a bit rougher than the first one and we had a lot of physical activities that day. On most of these day trips, I would spend all my time free diving which would already tire me out a little bit. I didn't know what this day had in store for us so I was already a bit tired when it all began.
We first spent some time at the beach and were able to relax before it was time to go kayaking. This was the first time I tried it in my life so I was super excited. The tour guide warned us that if we followed him he would take us on a pretty long route. Which he did. It was super hot and tiring but a super amazing experience. The waters are so beautiful here and you can take a break whenever you want and look at the views.
I kinda wanna go kayaking again after that. Seems like a really fun way to explore and also a pretty good workout for your arms. It was also forbidden to get in the water for some reason so you couldn't even cool off that way sadly.
After the kayaking was done it was time to leave this beautiful island and move on to the next one where the real workout would happen. In this place, we were given a choice, either walk up to the viewpoint at 500m above sea level or go explore the cave by the beach. I wanted to do both but there was not enough time for that so I opted for the viewpoint. It was a really tough way up and my friend and I rushed the whole way for some reason. We had kind of a race going I guess. It was cool though and I enjoyed it a lot. I love hiking and doing it through a jungle made it even cooler.
This is the view from the top. It was totally worth the hike and I could have stayed up there for hours looking at it had we had more water with us. So after a while, we had to start descending the mountain. On the way, we met a lot of people who would ask us how much they had left and after we told them they weren't even halfway they would rage pretty hard lol. We assured them that it would be worth it in the end though.
This day trip was probably my favorite one in Thailand and after all the hiking and other physical activity, it felt really good to have lunch and start getting ready to go home. I'm pretty sure I fell asleep on the boat ride back and had a well-deserved nap. I would love to go on more trips like this though where you get to walk up to viewpoints like this one. I love hiking.
That is it for my post today. It was one of my favorite days in Thailand and I hope you enjoy the photos I took from it. I will not be posting more travel posts for a while now since I am in the process of moving but soon I will get back to traveling and posting more content like this. Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you next time!
Peace, Straw

Hiking is always great for the body and for the soul. I do it too ocasionally
This is so cool. I would love to go kayaking there.
It was a cool place to try it for the first time haha.
How nice it all looks bro, the landscapes are incredibly beautiful.... I have been delighted with your experience in Thailand, a day at sea always gives tiredness and more when you do that kind of activities that you did. Where I live is a coastal area and I have experience in diving, it is something fun, the things you see underwater are incredible.
With that marathon to the viewpoint it is normal that at the end you were tired and fell asleep on the way back. I think that happens to all of us after a long day at the beach.
It was great reading you, I haven't done that in a while.... Greetings bro!
Thanks I am glad you liked the photos bro. Diving is probably one of my favorite things to do over there since the water is so clear and the types of fish are so cool.
I am glad you stopped by. Hope everything is well!
Same to you my good man, take care of yourself and keep enjoying your adventures 😎
OMG This is an awesome place! Love the photos, especially the one you took from the viewpoint.
I could tell you love working out, from kayak to hiking. 😅
I miss the beach and this seems like a pretty great one!
Would love to visit Thailand someday.
Haha thanks. I am really happy with that shot too. Glad you liked the photos and I hope you get to visit a nice beach soon too.
I sure hope so!!
This is incredible, I’m mesmerised! thank you for sharing
Amazing view I visit such a place and you bring back my memories.
Nice Tour! Koh Samui and Koh Pha Ngan are on our travel list aswell for our end of year trip to thailand. We start in Bangkok and then move to Krabi Area after a few days in BK. I will check out your Blog i find something special for our island hopping adventure in december/january.
greetings :v: louis
That's awesome man. Sounds like a really great plan you have already. Both BKK and Krabi are equally amazing in very different ways. Hope you guys have a great trip. Let me know if you need any tips about anything.
Awesome man! What a place to be. Great photographs man, that must have been a friggin' hike after all the kayaking. I would get destroyed for sure. How was the humidity at the top?
Thank you. That means a lot coming from you. I hope to be as good a photographer one day. Haha yeah probably the most tired I've been since the army. The humidity was pretty bad all over that day to be honest lol.
thanks for sharing your pics!
can't wait to fly over to Bangkok and do the Island Hopping in December for a month! 😎
I hope you guys have a great trip. Such an amazing place to visit.
Very cool place captain, almost like raja ampat, papua (indonesia), maybe I will look for treasure later on this island😅
Haha yeah I'll add that place to my list of things I wanna see in Indonesia. 😄
Of course, maybe you should bring your deputy at that time😁
Haha that sounds good. Let's bring the whole crew!
😅😅, Good idea captain, Sanji is excluded🤣
