My trip to Thailand

We (my boyfriend Roman, me and our four friends of us) decided to spend 14-day holiday to Hong Kong, Macao and Thailand. Our friends were coming to Shanghai on Friday in the afternoon and were staying with us here in Shanghai only for 2 days (if they wanted to stay longer time here, it was necessary to apply for the visa). From Shanghai we were travelling together to Hong Kong, where we spent a really great 3 days. There are many beautiful places there and also the people are very nice there. After that we were going to have a relax 10 days in Thailand. We landed in Phuket where I was feeling a very hot weather for the first time. After a very cold winter in the Czech republic and also here in Shanghai it was a very positive feeling. From Phuket we had to take a boat to an island Koh Yao. In this island we enjoyed just relaxing, eating the best food ever (I love the soup Tom Yum) and exploring the island by motobikes. There were not so many tourist there, our accommodation was excellent – it was a paradise. I have never seen so a beautiful place before.

My trip to Thailand

Las month, my boyfriend Roman, me and four of our friends spent a 14-day holiday in Hong Kong, Macao and Thailand. Our friends came to Shanghai on a Friday afternoon and stayed with us for only 2 days, which was the amount of time they were allowed to stay without having to apply for a visa. From Shanghai we travelled together to Hong Kong, where we spent a really great 3 days. There are many beautiful places there and the people are very nice. After that we had a relaxing 10 days in Thailand. We landed in Phuket where I got to experience the Thai heat for the first time . After a very cold winter in the Czech Republic and also here in Shanghai, it was a very positive feeling. From Phuket we had to take a boat to an island called Koh Yao. On this island we just relaxed, ate the best food ever (I love Tom Yum soup!) and explored the island by motorbike. There were not so many tourists there and our accommodation was excellent – it was a paradise. I had never seen such a beautiful place before.
