Phi Phi Islands: The Whole Andaman Sea Of Happiness
For many travelers visiting Phi Phi is the only reason to cross the oceans and come to Thailand. The islands are famous.

Storm in Costa Brava, Spain: No Bikini, Cat Wars, And a Hidden Laguna
Going to Costa Brava in November isn’t the most popular thing to do: you can’t lay down on the beach in the bikini and enjoy warm waters of the Mediterranean sea… Our guide, a very nice and handsome guy with great English and a slight French accent from VIATOR (viator.com) said that the sea is basically a huge lake for 11 months of the year, and the storm we are witnessing is a rare...

Guana, BVI: Love the Places Where Clothes Are Not Needed!
Approaching Guana aboard our Falcon 900EX I was almost certain I shared similar emotions with David Livingstone, Nicholay Miklouho-Maclay, Christopher Columbus and other explorers of unknown continents and countries. Of course, the entire 3.4 km2 (850 acres) of Guana have been explored by many, but not by me yet! Still the biggest desire I had ever since I saw aquamarine waters and powder-sand...

Exploring Phang Nga Bay In Search Of Roger Moore Or Any Other Man With the Golden Gun
In 1974 the whole crew of my favorite series ever - JAMES BOND - was right here, sailing through 400 km² of Phang Nga Bay in the Andaman Sea between the island of Phuket and the mainland of the Malay peninsula of southern Thailand. When the movie's production designer Peter Murton saw photos of Phuket on my website - I mean in some travel magazine - he suggested to make it the primary filming location. No one could resist and so Roger Moore was saving the world between the ancient limestone cliffs with caves, collapsed cave systems and archaeological sites...

The Big Buddha Of Phuket, Or How I Gained My Patience By the Andaman Sea
He is sitting here, so big, so calm, so happy. Forty five meters of white Burmese marble stretching up to the skies. Why did I run? Why did I worry? Why was I looking at my watch? I stop and look around. Everything turned out perfectly. The sun just started its slow descent towards the warm water which is now sparkling with a wonderful golden light. I am very happy to be here now, to see this beauty and to hear my heart beating gratefully.

Lunch At Phuket’s Most Fashionable Beach Club
Catch Beach Club on Surin Beach is no doubt my favorite place in Phuket for food, drinks and atmosphere. It reminds me beautiful white Shore Club in Miami only the Catch has more exciting address - by the exotic Andaman Sea very far away from Florida, the United States, English-speaking countries, and the whole Western Hemisphere... Literally, a true amazing getaway. I am eating a delicious crab salad with a gigantic sea creature prepared perfectly, and I enjoy a refreshing chilled white wine, and in front of me are the baby blue waters of the endless sea which is a part of even more endless Indian Ocean, and next to me is a man I love the most in the world - my father.

Arriving to Khao Sok Jungles in Thailand – How Beautiful!
The huge peaks of limestone mountains covered with dense green forests were towering above me studying their new guest and the palm trees greeted me by nodding slightly. The scenery of the place was so intense and magnificent that right away I believed in prehistoric myths and legends where all things in nature had a spirit. The centuries of peaceful and slow life were felt in the air especially after our guide told us that Khao Sok has the oldest evergreen forest in the world!
