If Dan’s taking close-ups of flowers it’s safe to say we’re vibing with the location 💜

These are the top 3 places we’ve been to in Indonesia through flower photos 👇🏼

1️⃣ Jatiluwih Rice Terraces

Easily the most beautiful rice terraces in Bali and also the biggest! If you walk just a few minutes from the main paved path you can have huge parts of the terraces all to yourself and they are all super photogenic 😍

Top tip: be sure to wear comfy shoes you wouldn’t mind getting muddy 🥾

2️⃣ Ulu Danu Beratan Temple

This Balinese temple has more things to do than any other one we’ve visited in all of Southeast Asia! Other than the beautiful lakefront temple there is a bunny and owl petting zoo, lovely expansive gardens, a Bali gate you can put on traditional Balinese attire and take photos in front of, and other small attractions.

Top tip: stop in their on-site restaurant and try some luwak coffee ☕️ made from coffee beans found in the droppings (yup, that’s right 💩) of the Indonesian civet cat which you can also see in-person at their petting zoo!

3️⃣ Mt. Bromo

On the eastern part of the island of Java you can find this active volcano standing at 2,329 meters tall. Climb to the top and stand on the rim looking directly into the massive crater 🌋

Top tip: you can hike to the crater of Mt. Bromo for free if you go to the village of Cemoro Lawang where your accommodations will be and use the secret passage next to the hotel Cemara Indah. You get inside the hotel parking lot and go right, down to the pathway that leads you to the Sea of Sand. Not only free (you will avoid the cost of booking a tour and paying the national park entry fee) but also a shortcut.

Our favorite excursion of Nusa Penida was visiting the famous Diamond Beach 💎

This beach gets its name from the diamond-shaped limestone cliff jutting out of the sea 😍

In addition to admiring the views from the top, you can do the 10 minute climb down to the beach. Just be aware that at the end of this short hike some rock climbing involving rope will be necessary 🧗🏼‍♂️

Also, swimming is not permitted as well as pretty impossible because of the rocks but it’s still worth going down in our opinion!

Side note- many of Nusa Penida’s beaches are extremely polluted, this one is a lot better than others since it is somewhat maintained and more difficult to access. There is still trash that washes up on the beach closer to the cliffs so just be aware that, sadly, the beaches on this island are not as pristine as you would expect them to be.

Something about watching the sunrise after hiking to the top of a volcano makes you want to jump for joy 🤩

Fun fact- the most acidic lake in the world is in the crater of Mt Ijen located on the island of Java in Indonesia! To reach the top it takes about 2 hours of hiking at a very steep incline and a 2am wake up call ⏰

To say that the view at the end is worth it is an understatement 💙

Don’t forget your gas mask to protect from the sulfur air causing the overwhelming smell of rotten eggs 😷

Swipe to find out why this place is called Pig Island ➡️🐽

Located 20 minutes off the coast of Koh Samui in Thailand, Koh Mat Sum (aka Pig Island), came to be when a few pigs were rescued from market and set free to roam the island. Of course, they multiplied and now there are about a dozen of them!

A Pig Island day trip by longtail boat is one of the best things to do from Koh Samui 💙

Soaking in the palm tree views on our favorite Thai island 😍🌴

Koh Tao completely exceeded our expectations in every way- from the food, marine life, beaches, and amazing vibes 💙

We still have a few islands left to visit on our trip but this one’s gonna be hard to beat!

Which island in Thailand is your favorite?

The biggest highlight of our trip to Krabi was taking a longtail boat to Railay Beach and spending the day there 🧡

Thought it’s located on the mainland, this beach is only accessible by boat due to the high limestone cliffs cutting off land access.

We recommend visiting on your own rather than on a tour so you can take your time to really explore! A few things you can do here are rock climb, kayak, hike, bar hop, and chill on the beach 🏖️

To get to Railay from Ao Nang go to the Longtail Boat Service Club where they charge 100 baht per person each way until 6pm. If you want to get back after 6 you can catch another boat at Railay Beach for 150 baht until midnight.

Temple hopping is one of the best things to do in Chiang Rai 💛

All of these temples were at the top of our Thailand bucket list!

We visited Wat Huay Pla Klang, White Temple, and Blue Temple (not pictured).

❗️HONEST DISCLAIMER ⬇️

These temples are all beautiful and the photo ops are amazing but we did not want to spend more than 10 minutes at any of them.

This experience felt extremely touristy and inauthentic as there is not very much to do other than take photos while being surrounded by a TON of other tourists doing the same thing.

This is just not ideal for adventure travelers like us who live for getting immersed in culture and going off the beaten path.

We recommend visiting some more low key temples in Chiang Rai in addition to these!

Our job is to be completely transparent with you guys about all of our experiences and not sugar coat something just because we got good pictures out of it.

By no means are we saying to skip these temples- we just want you to have the realistic expectations that we didn’t have 😊 and if you don’t feel the same way as we do about these temples that is 100% okay! Everyone likes to travel differently and has their own unique lens!

Have you visited any of these temples? Drop your experience in the comments so fellow travelers can learn from it ❤️

Who needs a selfie stick when you have an elephant trunk? 🤳🏻🐘😂

This full-day elephant jungle expedition is one of the best experiences in the Chiang Mai area and was truly an unforgettable adventure!

After hiking through the jungle, we prepared a Thai picnic by a waterfall using only the natural resources around us- our guide showed us how to carve cutlery from bamboo we found and how to make fire 🔥

We then swam and played with the elephants in the Mae Wang river after which we helped to prepare their food and fed them!

To get back we sailed down the river on a bamboo raft and wrapped up the day enjoying happy hour with the elephants 🍹

Book this ethical tour with The Chai Lai Orchid Echo Lodge, you can even get a bungalow here and spend the night if you book far enough in advance!
