Elephant Encounter: Krabi
Elephants are truly magnificent creatures, both giant and graceful. Seeing them up close is always an unforgettable experience, but getting to interact with them is even more special. It kind of blew my mind a bit driving through Thailand and seeing Elephants randomly walking about in the countryside. Not a sight I grew up seeing. While in Krabi, my friend found a nearby elephant sanctuary where they cared for 5 elephants of different backgrounds and ages. Once we arrived, the staff informed us about the different types of elephants and the history of their use in Thailand over the centuries in forests, wars, and how they are cared for today.…

Exploring the Land of Smiles: My Trip to Thailand
Thailand is a country of diverse landscapes, from beaches to mountains, elephants, delicious food, and rich culture. It has something to offer everyone, whether you’re seeking the excitement of a busy city or the peacefulness of the countryside. As someone currently living in South Korea, Thailand was much larger in comparison with countless areas to explore, making it difficult to choose where to go as a first-time visitor. And that was the hardest part of trying to plan a trip to Thailand: deciding where to go. I was torn between going south to the beaches or heading north to the mountains, but in the end I choose the southern part…
