Two weeks in Thailand

When there is still snow on the ground in Finland, I'm not complaining when I get a work assignment to fly out to Thailand for two weeks!

On our first week in Thailand we shot a music video in the outskirts of Bangkok. It was a weird experience staying in a new city and not exploring or spending any time in the city centre. I guess I have to come back one day. At least we got to see some things that normal tourists usually wont.

We flew from Bangkok to Phuket, where we spent the rest of the trip. Luckily our hotel resort was located pretty far from the touristy areas. It was amazing to wake up to 29°C and wait for the weather to climb up to 36°C during the day. Nice refreshing dip in the ocean is the best thing ever!

Our trip included a visit to an orphanage in the tsunami destruction area in Khao Lak. We also took a boat to Ko Racha Yai, where we went snorkeling  and scuba diving. During our few "off days" we actually rented mopeds to explore the island and see the local lifestyle and the countryside of Phuket. It is not the safest way to get around, but it's definitely the fastest and very cheap.

3 Cities in 7 Days - Nice, France

We collaborated with a Finnish Travel agency Tjäreborg to make an epic 7 day trip through 3 beautiful cities in Southern Europe. First stop was Nice in France. This was a first time to visit Nice for both of us and we were very excited for our time there. Nice is an amazing city, where you can choose to spend your days laying on the beach and have a refreshing swim in the sea or explore the colourful streets of the beautiful city. 

We arrived to Nice when it was already dark and we just dropped our stuff to the hotel. Then headed to have some dinner in the city. We had been excited to go and see the beach in the morning, but it was actually little rainy the next day which in not normal for Nice. It wasn't raining much and it didn't stop us from enjoying the city. We ended up renting city bikes by our hotel, which we think was the best decision to make on our visit in Nice. When you rent a city bike, you can always return the bike to a bike station located around the city and go on foot when you wan't to see something more closely. We got a very good picture of the whole city when we biked and explored the streets. The next day forecast said that the weather will be perfect and we decided to head over to the La Tour Bellanda to catch the sunrise. It is such a nice place to see the beach and the city when the sun rises. After seeing the beautiful sunrise it was time to head over to the beach before leaving to the airport to catch our flight to Barcelona, Spain.
