RE: Road to Steemfest #5: The Thai Life and What to Expect!
YES!!! Koh Phagnan for SURE!!! I love Koh Samui too though, but things may have changed drastically since I was there. They used to call it Little Amsterdam, so that's why it got my attention at the time hehehe.
Roelandp Didn't just do this for you, he definitely had my thoughts in mind too LOL ;) Out of all the Steemfests, this has to be the best spot for the event. (Although renting an island in Malaysia was also an awesome idea). I was planning to stay in SE Asia for three months, but will have to shorten this down to just one month due to a new job I'm starting, so it will be just Thailand and maybe one more country (I hate to choose that one). But it's OK, because this job (self-employed) will bring the freedom I crave to travel more once I've worked there for a bit. I'll just have to take a one month vacation every 3-4 months or so ;)
I remember Koh Samui about 15 years ago, it's still very nice, just over crowded, over developed and over priced.......but that's just my opinion. Koh Phagnan is now my favorite spot in the country. But I need to do some more exploring this year of SEA in general. Then I'll report back once again ;)
Congrats on the new job, and the new freedom it will give you. Have a great day! -Dan
Yeah, Koh Samui was more than 20 years ago for me, so I'd say it has changed a lot. I believe the Steemians are planning for trip to Koh Chang after Steemfest, but I'm really up for anything as long as it means that I get to hang out with Steemians longer :) Thanks for the well wishes. The job is on a self-employed basis, but with more securities in place than just that, so it will be good. And I'm sure it will open up other doors as well. I wasn't planning to hang around Ireland much longer, but this gave me a new perspective, so I'll take it with both hands!
Looking forward to your 'reports' ;)
Sounds good. I love hangin with Steemians. I'll be playing it by ear, where I go after steemfest, depending on who is going where and so on. Koh Chang isn't bad but Koh Phagnan I prefer. Thanks for the kind words. Have a great day!
I've never been to Koh Chang, but I think I'd prefer Koh Phagnan too. Yes, playing it by ear makes a lot of sense. I really don't mind, as long as there are Steemians, we'll be fine anywhere! especially in the tropics!
