Thailand travel diary | 6 days in Krabi, Phangnga & Phuket part 2

14/09/2023 | Reageer

Welcome back to Part 2! I knew it was rain season, but I didn’t expect how extremely rainy it would be this whole trip. Minor spoiler; the rest of the journey was nothing but incessant rain! So take the rainy season in July seriously. Basically, we could do almost nothing today. This post is mainly pictures of the few things we could do, because we were literally ‘stuck’ in the rain. Furthermore, I think Thailand is a beautiful country with incredibly warm, sweet people! The hospitality and safety here are very nice.
Welkom terug bij deel 2! Ik wist dat het regenseizoen was, maar hoe extreem regenachtig het deze hele reis was had ik niet verwacht. Kleine spoiler; het hele vervolg van de reis was enkel en alleen maar onophoudelijke regen! Dus neem het regen seizoen in Juli zéker serieus. In principe konden we dus al zo goed als niks meer vandaag. Deze post is met name foto’s van de enkele dingen die wij wél konden doen, want we zaten letterlijk ‘vast’ in de regen. Verder vind ik Thailand een prachtig land met ontzettend warme, lieve mensen! De gastvrijheid en veiligheid hier zijn erg fijn.

Day 4 – Krabi – 19-07-2023

After a domestic flight together with Roos with Air Asia, we arrived in rainy Krabi. We slept in hotel Loy Chalet for about 40 euros per night, where we had our own chalet. We chatted a lot together because we don’t see each other very often, and finally had time to spend every day together. Due to the hysterical rain, we immediately decided to book a tour to get out of the area the next day – a boat tour.
Na een binnenlandse vlucht samen met Roos met Air Asia, kwamen we aan in regenachtig Krabi. We sliepen in hotel Loy Chalet voor ongeveer 40 euro per nacht, waar we een hele eigen chalet hadden. We hebben ontzettend veel gekletst samen omdat we elkaar maar héél erg weinig zien, en eindelijk tijd hadden om samen elke dag door te brengen. Door de hysterische regen, besloten we direct een tour te boeken om het gebied uit te gaan de dag erna – een boot tour.


Day 5 – Krabi – 20-07-2023

Roos and I booked a boat tour for this day. The goal was to go with a ‘long tail’ boat (as you saw on many instagram photos and I obviously had the goal), but once at the quay, we were told that this was not possible due to the heavy waves and weather conditions.

I personally thought this was really the highlight of the rest of the trip outside Bangkok. Luckily it was dry on the islands. The first place we visited was Railey Beach – and given the weather conditions we were certainly not the only ones who thought of visiting this beautiful place, so it was very busy and difficult to take pictures. I have not written down all the islands we visited, but I think it is a nice recommendation for a visit. So one of the few things that scared me was this boat! That’s because I capsized on my own in a rough sea in Colombia and just barely got off last year.

Roos en ik hebben deze dag een boottour geboekt. Het doel was met een ‘long tail’ boat (zoals je op veel instagram foto’s zag en ik obviously als doel had) te gaan, maar eenmaal aan de kade, kregen we te horen dat dit door de heftige golven en weersomstandigheid niet kon.

Ik vond dit persoonlijk wel écht de highlight van het vervolg van de reis buiten Bangkok. Op de eilanden was het gelukkig droog. De eerste plek die we bezochten was Railey Beach – en wij waren gezien de weersomstandigheden zéker niet de enigen die er aan dachten deze mooie plek te bezoeken, het was dus méga druk en ook lastig foto’s te maken. Ik heb niet alle eilanden die we bezocht hadden opgeschreven, maar vind het verder wel een leuke aanbeveling voor een bezoekje. Een van de weinige dingen die ik eng vond, was dus deze boot! Dat is omdat ik in mijn eentje op een woeste zee in Colombia ben gekapzeist en daar nét goed van af ben gekomen vorig jaar.


Day 6 – Krabi & Phangnga – 21-07-2023

Today, after breakfast, Roos and I planned a 2-hour drive to Phangnga with a private driver, I believe for 25 euros per person. We left for this place through an amazing boutique hotel I found on instagram that really looked like the dream! Unfortunately upon arrival, the rain later in the day was even worse than in Krabi. The hotel where we stayed is called Sametnangshe Boutique, I had been really looking forward to this. This hotel was bed and breakfast for about 100 euros per night – so still quite expensive for Thailand and the season.

This day we actually only had lunch all the way on the roof of the hotel and drank coffee with the beautiful view, and also dined in the hotel itself. By the way, these were European prices and there were virtually no restaurants/cafés/towns in the area, so Roos and I soon agreed that we no longer wanted to spend so much money on food and drinks and really had to go out for it.

Vandaag hadden roos en ik ná het ontbijt een 2 urige rit op de planning richting Phangnga met een privé chauffeur, ik geloof voor 25 euro per persoon. We vertrokken naar deze plek door een geweldig boetiek hotel die ik op instagram had gevonden en er écht als de droom uitzag! Helaas bij aankomst, was de regen later op de dag nóg erger dan in Krabi. Het hotel waar we verbleven heet Sametnangshe Boutique, ik had hier ontzettend naar uitgekeken. Dit hotel was logies en ontbijt voor zo’n 100 euro per nacht – dus voor Thailand en het seizoen nog vrij duur.

Deze dag hebben we eigenlijk enkel helemaal op het dak van het hotel geluncht en koffie gedronken met het prachtige uitzicht, en in het hotel zelf ook gedineerd. Dit waren overigens Europese prijzen  én er waren zo goed als geen restaurants/café’s/stadjes in de buurt, dus spraken Roos en ik al snel af dat we niet meer zoveel geld uit wilde geven aan eten en drinken en er echt voor op pad moesten gaan


Day 7 – Phangnga – 22-07-2023

This day started with a delicious a la carte breakfast. You could order anything from the menu until 10:00, as much as you want. I really liked this about the hotel. The rest of the day we watched movies, because we were stuck in the hotel due to the pouring rain. We had the most standard room with a bed and bathroom, so unfortunately we couldn’t do anything else.
Deze dag begon met een heerlijk a-la-carte ontbijt. Je mocht tot 10:00 álles van de menukaart bestellen, zoveel je wil. Dit vond ik écht heel erg fijn aan het hotel. De rest van de dag hebben we films gekeken, omdat we door de stort regen vast zaten in het hotel. We hadden de meest standaard kamer met een bed en badkamer, dus konden verder helaas ook niets.

Day 8 – Phangnga & Phuket – 23-07-2023

Today started with another breakfast and a decision to go to Phuket Old Town. We really had to get out. We went again by private driver (our taxi man is called Reem and was very nice!). Phuket old town is quite small, so after walking around for a few hours, rose and I were already exhausted. It strikes me that a lot of places nowadays look great on instagram, and a little less in reality. I think if you really want to do some cool things, such as beach clubs or rooftop bars, you better go to Phuket beach.

This evening we could finally use the lovely hotel swimming pool, because it had stopped raining. As an unpleasant surprise, while eating somewhere on the street – we found out that we had booked the wrong flights. We were forced to convert the tickets and pay about 70 euros extra per person to fly back to Bangkok tomorrow – one flight earlier.

Day 9 – Phangnga, Phuket, Bangkok & The Netherlands – 24-07-2023

Today we checked out. We had placed an order for breakfast late yesterday evening, so the staff – super sweet – made us a delicious breakfast box, which we could take with us to the airport.

About the hotel:
It was very noisy in the hotel, and when it rains you can’t do anything because there is no gym, indoor swimming pool or a nice lounge. I think if it hadn’t rained the experience would have been much better and the view even more beautiful. The hotel is best for visit if you come there with good weather. It’s a fairytale location and I really like the rooftop cafe anyway and the staff too. I also think that it is a very nice hotel, especially for couples. Breakfast was also a highlight. (This is also not a collab)

On board the short domestic flight to Bangkok, a KLM stewardess sat in front of us by chance. All 3 of us soon realized that we were airline personnel. Almost like you can feel and see it! She said that she would fly back to Amsterdam immediately after this flight, and that there were still 50 seats open. By the coincidence that we had to take a flight earlier, I would still catch this flight to the Netherlands. I myself planned to continue traveling solo for extra days if Roos would leave today, but abruptly decided to convert my IPB ticket and also fly directly back to the Netherlands.

The flight was very nice, and I got a seat right at check-in. I had the best chance to fly home today and so I did.

Vandaag checkten we uit. We hadden gisteren avond laat een bestelling doorgegeven voor het ontbijt, dus had het personeel – super lief- een overheerlijke ontbijt box voor ons gemaakt, die we mee konden nemen naar de luchthaven.

Over het hotel:
Het was enorm gehorig in het hotel, en het moment dat het regent kun je niets omdat er geen gym is, binnen zwembad of een fijne lounge. Ik denk dat als het niet had geregend, de ervaring wel veel beter was geweest en het uitzicht nóg mooier. Het hotel is het beste voor bezoek als je er komt met goed weer. Het is een sprookjesachtige locatie en ik vind sowieso het café op het dak erg fijn en het personeel ook. Verder denk ik dat het vooral voor koppeltjes een heel fijn hotel is. Ook was het ontbijt een hoogtepuntje. (Dit is ook géén collab)

Aan boord op de korte binnenlandse vlucht naar Bangkok, zat er pér toeval een KLM stewardess voor ons. We merkten al snel alle 3 dat we luchtvaartpersoneel waren. Bijna alsof je het voelt en ziet! Ze vertelde dat ze ná deze vlucht direct naar Amsterdam terug zou vliegen, én er nog 50 stoelen open waren. Door het toeval dat wij een vlucht eerder moesten nemen, zou ik deze vlucht naar Nederland nog halen. Ik was zelf van plan nog extra dagen solo verder te reizen als Roos zou vertrekken vandaag, maar besloot abrupt mijn IPB ticket om te zetten en óók direct naar Nederland terug te vliegen.

De vlucht was erg fijn, en ik kreeg al gelijk bij de check in een stoel. Ik had vandaag de beste kans om naar huis te vliegen en deed dat dus ook.

Thanks for reading my travel diary! Unfortunately this part of the trip was a bit disappointing due to the rainy season – but my best friend and I tried to make the most of it. I really thought the beginning of the trip in Bangkok was the highlight of the trip, and would love to come back one day and visit a rooftop bar.

As a tip – especially if you are traveling solo – I advise you to go to backpackers group apps (such as in Dutchies in Thailand), or to visit the chats if you have booked through hostelworld – because I find it very useful in this way to inform people in most destinations.

Bedankt voor het lezen van mijn reis dagboek! Helaas viel dit deel van de reis een klein beetje tegen dankzij het regenseizoen – maar hebben mijn beste vriendin en ik er alles van proberen te maken wat we konden. Ik vond het begin van de reis in Bangkok écht het hoogtepunt van de reis, en zou het best leuk vinden op een dag terug te komen en een rooftopbar te bezoeken.

Als tip – met name als je solo reist – raad ik je aan in backpackers groepsapps te gaan (zoals in Dutchies in Thailand), óf de chats te bezoeken als je geboekt hebt via hostelworld – omdat ik het op deze manier erg handig vind om mensen op de meeste bestemmingen te leren kennen.

POV: You get to stay at your dream villa in Tulum 🌴
Villa Hunab-Ku @villa_hunab_ku 🍃

Imagine having your own dream villa at your favorite place in the world! 

I had an amazing 4 night stay at this incredible villa. A villa perfect for a bachelorette, family visit, party or lucky me - for myself!

This beautiful place has 5 bedrooms. My personal favorite was the Bali master bedroom - which I chose to sleep in - and the Zen bathroom - A Japanese style bathroom with a yoga garden.

Would you stay here with your friends?

(Swipe) The Souls of Guatemala & Mexico Nov/Dec 2025 🪽🐦‍🔥 I’m beyond grateful to have a lot of close and also new friends and acquaintances from around the world and can call Tulum my second home.

If I didn’t go to México on my own back in May 2022, my life would have been completely different. 

I’m extremely grateful (and privileged) to be able to travel the world as a WOMAN on my own. Although I still live with my parents as in my country it’s hard to afford housing as a single person - I count my blessings and use that form of ‘space’ in my favor as a form of freedom.

The more I travel, the more gratitude I preach and feel, but also realize how only a small group of people (mainly women) is able to go out and explore. 

I started solo travelling back in 2017, and after 8 years, I and have a big worldwide group of close friends and lifechanging experiences. 

One of the first things I have learned from travelling is that your soulmates don’t need to have a similar zipcode. 

Thank you all for existing 🤍🪽

(Swipe) The Souls of Guatemala & Mexico Nov/Dec 2025 🪽🐦‍🔥 I’m beyond grateful to have a lot of close and also new friends and acquaintances from around the world and can call Tulum my second home. If I didn’t go to México on my own back in May 2022, my life would have been completely different. I’m extremely grateful (and privileged) to be able to travel the world as a WOMAN on my own. Although I still live with my parents as in my country it’s hard to afford housing as a single person - I count my blessings and use that form of ‘space’ in my favor as a form of freedom. The more I travel, the more gratitude I preach and feel, but also realize how only a small group of people (mainly women) is able to go out and explore. I started solo travelling back in 2017, and after 8 years, I and have a big worldwide group of close friends and lifechanging experiences. One of the first things I have learned from travelling is that your soulmates don’t need to have a similar zipcode.

UNESCO world heritage surrounded by Volcanoes 🌋🇬🇹 Antigua - Guatemala

Solo in Guatemala 🇬🇹✨
I started my journey in the beautiful colonial city of Antigua, and it instantly stole my heart.

After a one-hour flight from Cancún and a short drive from Guatemala City, I arrived in a place full of colorful streets, historic architecture, lush gardens and the cutest coffee spots.

It felt surprisingly social for solo travellers, with boutique hotels and hostels everywhere. I felt safe walking around on my own, even early in the mornings and evenings, and everything is close enough to explore on foot.

I spent about three days here, spread out over my trip. Two nights at the beginning and one night at the end. The perfect place to slow down, recharge, and meet people along the way.

Would you add Antigua to your solo travel list? 🤍 #guatemala #antigua #laantigua #solotravel

I almost gave up during the first hour of this volcano hike, but what I saw at the top changed everything 🌋 90 second vlog! ⏰

One of the hardest yet most rewarding things I’ve ever done while traveling.
A few weeks ago, I hiked a volcano, and it pushed me far outside my comfort zone, physically and mentally.

We started the day slow, with breakfast in beautiful Antigua, before being transported to the headquarters to gear up and mentally prepare. The first hour was brutal: steep, cold, and way less oxygen. I was close to quitting. But with lots of breaks, support from the group, and a porter for my backpack, it slowly got better.

This hike is no joke. Bring plenty of water, snacks, layers, walking sticks, and altitude pills; the climate and altitude differences really test you. At basecamp there was no water or electricity, so you truly go back to basics. Cold nights, thin air, and warm cacao shared with people from all around the world after a 4–5 hour climb.

I was completely exhausted, so the only extra hike I did was a short 20-minute climb to the viewpoint, and it was more than worth it. Seeing the volcano erupt every 10 minutes was unreal. One of the most mind-blowing experiences of my life. Even at night, waking up in our shared cabin, we could see it glowing in the dark.

The next morning, after coffee and breakfast, we started the descent. About 2.5 hours down - fast, music in my ears, and honestly… pure fun.

This hike reminded me that the hardest paths often lead to the most unforgettable moments.

Would you try this? 🌋✨
Let me know in the comments.

(Swipe and read) This took me hours to create today ⏰ - 2025 in monthly flashbacks.

2025 was a year of growth, a year where I told myself after a big setback in 2024, to do everything I love. And even though it did not give me the results I wished for. I am proud of the things I did and those who I met along the way. 

2025 was a year that looks perfect on the instagram feed (and nothing I post is fake!) - but never forget instagram is a highlight reel. Beyond a lot of beautiful highlights, there were a lot of equally deep lows. 

I am far from where I want to be in life. I am still not out of a very toxic environment, I still don’t have my dreamjob, and I still live with my parents - single (which I enjoy very much)

But one day it will reveal why life happened this way. Setbacks are often stepping stones for bigger things coming. I learned that the environments I was in, are not the ones I should be in. Pageantry and carreer wise - it opened my eyes in how hard it is to fight a system which is politic and not made to be beaten. 

I deserve to thrive in an environment with people that appreciate authenticity, people are respectful to each other and want to see each other win, instead of trying to destroy everything that mirrors their inner insecurities 🪞

May 2026 - a Leo year ♌️ - bring the change I am praying for. 🧿

2025 was a year of growth, a year where I told myself after a big setback in 2024, to do everything I love. And even though it did not give me the results I wished for. I am proud of the things I did and those who I met along the way. 

2025 was a year that looks perfect on the instagram feed (and nothing I post is fake!) - but never forget instagram is a highlight reel. Beyond a lot of beautiful highlights, there were a lot of equally deep lows. 

I am far from where I want to be in life. I am still not out of a very toxic environment, I still don’t have my dreamjob, and I still live with my parents - single (which I enjoy very much)

But one day it will reveal why life happened this way. Setbacks are often stepping stones for bigger things coming. I learned that the environments I was in, are not the ones I should be in. Pageantry and carreer wise - it opened my eyes in how hard it is to fight a system which is politic and not made to be beaten. 

I deserve to thrive in an environment with people that appreciate authenticity, people are respectful to each other and want to see each other win, instead of trying to destroy everything that mirrors their inner insecurities 🪞

May 2026 - a Leo year ♌️ - bring the change I am praying for. 🧿

Most incredible moment of 2025, and actually one of the most incredible of my life. Hiking the Acatenago volcano in Guatemala was one of the most challenging things I have ever done in my life, but the reward of pushing my own limits felt unreal. This climb and activity was on top of my bucketlist and for sure one of the most rewarding things of the year! 🌋

80 second solo travel vlog of Lake Atitlan in Guatemala - I had an incredible 3 night stay at @freecerveza - the best place to stay if you search for a social place around Lake Atitlan. 🇬🇹

Waking up to volcanoes on the horizon, vibrant villages by the water, and mist slowly rising from the lake… was pure magic 🌋

Every boat ride felt like a dream, every sunset a reminder to slow down. Guatemala surprised me, but Atitlán left a mark on my soul. 🌋💙

Embracing Authenticity | Defending Truth on my Miss World (Netherlands) journey in 2021, my core values and mission

Dutch version below – Hello everyone, I would like to share my truth, vision, and story with all of you, including the beliefs I stand for. Why I’ve been blogging for 10 years, using Instagram to share my story, and why I decided to participate in beauty pageants like Miss World for my country. The truths and misconceptions about me and my participation in the pageant and standing up for my personal narrative and story. – Celebrate Your Authenticity: My Core Value, Standing up against Bullying, and Self-empowerment. “I signed a contract that does not allow me to be completely open about my experiences with ‘MWNL’.
