It's #throwbackthursday and today we have a post from our first Koh Lipe visit, which was amazing! 🏝️💙 Despite the fact that Koh Lipe is one of the most popular islands of #Thailand , you can still find some lonely spots when you go in the low season. For example, on the tiny island called Koh Kla, just a few minutes off Koh Lipe, there were almost no visitors. It's a great snorkeling spot, too. 🐟🐠🛶

Beautiful Koh Gai (Chicken Island 🏝️🐔) in Krabi. The view at Koh Tub from the viewpoint is also great and you shouldn't miss it. During low tide you can even walk from Koh Gai to Koh Tub and vice versa. 🚶 We have visited these islands already a couple of times, but each time it's beautiful and fascinating again. 💙

Longtail boats at Koh Poda (Poda Island) with the mainland of #Krabi in the background. Even the island is always pretty crowded, the views are still so beautiful. 💙

What a view! 😍 It was probably one of the hardest and steepest climbs ever for us, but it was all worth it. The view over the 2 beaches of #Railay is just amazing.

Gion is the historic district of #Kyoto and even there's masses of tourists, it's still really beautiful! 😍 We loved to explore all the small alleys and traditional houses in #Gion. Also, the city view from the Kiyomizu-dera temple was really impressive! ⛩️

The Fushimi Inari-Taisha in Kyoto with its thousands of red gates, called 'Torii' in Japanese. ⛩️⛩️⛩️ It's admittedly pretty hard to take a picture there without people unless you visit in the early morning. Still, it was great!

Even behind clouds, the view of majestic Mt. Fuji

Even behind clouds, the view of majestic Mt. Fuji is still very impressive. ⛰️ Around the Kawaguchi Lake near Fujiyoshida you have beautiful landscapes and if you are more lucky than us, you'll get a way better view of #fuji mountain. 🗻😁🙈 It was still great and a perfect day trip from #tokyo! 💚
