As we turned the corner a glinting golden stupa came into view. It literally took my breath away and I clearly remember thinking “How lucky am I?!” This was my first visit to Thailand and I instantly fell in love with its people …its temples …its food ..its philosophy. And its gold! Golden stupa. Golden Buddhas. Golden monks.
This is the first in a new series on ‘Travel With Kat’, from my travel memories as seen on Instagram.
Join me on Instagram to follow my journey as it happens, mixed up with a few travel memories. Spoiler alert! Next stop Japan.
Hi guys. I’m currently researching sustainable tourism development, for my dissertation project for university in the U.K. Sustainable tourism development is a very important topic at the moment! I would greatly appreciate your help so if you can spare 5 mins to fill in the survey please do! The survey coconsists of 12 questions and its design makes it easy to use and complete.
I loved following along on your journey to Chang Mai, and it’s just as much a visual delight the second time around on Travel with Kat. I have yet to get to Thailand, and no one’s photos entice me quite as much as your’s do!
Beautiful shimmering photos of Thailand, one of my favourite places to go on an actual holiday, as how can you not relax when surrounded by such beauty!
Such lovely colours, you have me longing to make it back to Thailand, it’s been far too long, but I have very fond memories of eating in the night markets in Chiang Mai and exploring so many stunning temples.
I love your Instagram posts! It’s like being able to transport, Star Trek-style from one moment to another. Chiang Mai looks absolutely stunning – and that’s coming from someone who usually prefers silver!
Awesome snaps Kat! We love Chiang Mai; it is our favorite place in the world. We have spent nearly a year there between 5 trips. Or 7? I lost track. We are heading back to a house sit in February, the same sit we did last year by Doi Suthep National Park up in the hills around town. Adore the place.
Thanks, Ryan. I have to admit I’m very envious. I’d love to be able to spend more time there. Have a fabulous time and I look forward to hearing all about it.
Hello, I’m Kathryn, a travel photographer and blogger. This is my corner of the world-wide web where I write about my passion for travel, from stylish city breaks to off-the-grid wildlife encounters. I am equally happy zip-lining through a rainforest in the Caribbean as I am unwinding in a luxury European spa or learning to cook fish benachin in Africa. Join me as I discover new countries, cultures and cuisines.

Thanks, Alison! Thailand is very Instagrammable. I hope you’ll follow my posts from my next adventure. I’m off to Japan this weekend – super excited!

I remember following this when you where there and loving that hotel! Excellent to see it again
I wish I had had just a little more time there just to simply enjoy it. And I hope I find a way to go back again one day.
Such lovely colours, you have me longing to make it back to Thailand, it’s been far too long, but I have very fond memories of eating in the night markets in Chiang Mai and exploring so many stunning temples.
I really do need to go back for a longer visit and I loved to see more of Thailand. Such lovely people too.
I love your Instagram posts! It’s like being able to transport, Star Trek-style from one moment to another. Chiang Mai looks absolutely stunning – and that’s coming from someone who usually prefers silver!
Thank you! They’re fun to do.
The food was equally mesmerising! I long to return.
