We’re (boyfriend and me) going to Thailand in just over 1 month! We’re staying at Thavorn Beach Village Resort in Phuket and couldn’t be more excited.

Thailand has been on my bucket list ever since I realized that the beach in the movie “The Beach” was real and not CGI. I vividly remember looking it up on AOL (yes, dial-up realness) and getting on OG Google to figure out where that beach was, because I couldn’t believe a place so incredibly beautiful existed for real.

That was almost 20 years ago, and now I’m finally getting to make my dream come true. Thank goodness for a boyfriend who has JUST enough of an open mind to accompany me on my dream trip. He’s a little bit more cautious (and by that I mean immeasurably more) than I am, and he’s really stepping outside of his comfort zone for me on this and I couldn’t love him more for it.

If you have any killer recommendations for us while we’re in Phuket, feel free to send them my way! We’re doing an early bird Phi Phi Islands tour, and considering a multi-temple tour, James Bond island, and the elephant sanctuary. So let us know if we’re on the right track or if there’s something we absolutely can’t miss.

Cheers, Amanda
