# Farang Travel
> Honest, firsthand guidance for travelling Thailand the right way.

## Destinations
- [Bangkok](https://farang.travel/destinations/bangkok/): Bangkok is loud, hot and bigger than first-time visitors expect. Most stay one night and rush to a beach. That is a mistake.
- [Phuket](https://farang.travel/destinations/phuket/): Phuket is the most over-sold island in Thailand. The honest version is better. The south of the island is the half worth your time.
- [Suphan Buri](https://farang.travel/destinations/suphan-buri/): Rice plains, canal towns and one of Thailand's oldest cities, an hour and a half north west of Bangkok. Nobody flies in for it. That is the point.

## Topics
- [Accommodation](https://farang.travel/topics/accommodation/): Where we have stayed, slept well and would book again. Hotels, guesthouses, hostels and the in-between.
- [Activities](https://farang.travel/topics/activities/): Days out, walks, water, temples, markets. How we spend our time when we are exploring somewhere new in Thailand.
- [Eating Out](https://farang.travel/topics/eating-out/): What we eat when we are not at home. Bowls of noodles at the canal, late-night street food, family-run shops worth a detour and the places we go back to.
