Thailand.

“That’s the difference between backpackers and holiday makers. The former can’t help but invite hassle whilst the latter pay to escape it.”

Harry Whitewolf

The first three months of 2020 I backpacked Thailand and settled down on the southern island of Koh Tao for divemaster training with Big Blue Diving. Visiting the areas of Chiang Mai, Pai, Bangkok, Koh Samui, and finally Koh Tao, I gained an immense appreciation for Thai traditions, the locals, their marine life, and their dishes.
