Thank you to https://www.travelchinatibet.com/ for hosting me on my trip to Tibet!

 

SHIGATSE, TIBET - Along with Lhasa, Shigatse is one of the most important and largest cities in Tibet. We had the honor to explore Shigatse for the day, learn about the city, eating Tibetan food, and learn about the amazing Tibetan culture. #Shigatse #Tibet #food

 

Tibetan breakfast - There’s nothing better to eat for breakfast in Tibet than tsampa - roasted barley flour, mixed with yak cheese, yak butter, and sugar, and formed into small hand-squeezed balls. It grows like a loaf of bread in your stomach - it’s so hearty and filling. The best part of the experience was eating it in a local home and watching them as they made it for breakfast, the common way they do everyday for breakfast. The butter tea was excellent.

 

Tibetan food lunch - We went to a local family restaurant for lunch we we tried a number of Tibetan, and specifically Shigatse foods, including dumpling in soup, a fried bread stuffed with yak, fried sheep lungs, and Tibetan blood sausage. It was a heavy and meaty lunch, and the food was delicious.

 

Tashilhunpo Monastery - As the palace of the Panchen Lama (second most important spiritual figure in Tibetan Buddhism), the Tashilhunpo Monastery is one of the most sacred and important sites in Shigatse. After walking around the temple complex in the morning, we then went into the temple complex in the afternoon.

 

It was a great day of food, exploring, and learning in Shigatse, Tibet.

Koh Surin (หมู่เกาะสุรินทร์) - In March 2020, we spent about a week in the Southern Thailand province on Phang Nga - I absolutely loved it - from the food to the people to the natural scenery and beaches. We decided to go to Koh Surin (หมู่เกาะสุรินทร์), a national park island, known to be one of the most pristine islands in Thailand. And since it wasn’t as busy with tourism as it typically is, we were able to get a booking at the National Park lodge on the island. In this video I’ll share this entire experience of getting to Koh Surin, and staying in the bungalows.

 

Greenview Tour Speedboat -  1,700 THB ($52.44) per person, roundtrip - First you must get to Koh Surin (หมู่เกาะสุรินทร์) island, and the fastest way to get there is by speed boat which takes about 1 hour 10 minutes. The boat left from Khura Buri (คุระบุรี) pier, in Phang Nga province. The boat ride was surprisingly smooth and we arrived to the island, to the amazingly pure and clear waters of the islands.

 

Buffet lunch - 750 THB ($23.13) per person - There aren’t too many food options - or let me say, no food options other than the National Park headquarters canteen. But you can choose to order from the menu, or you can eat the buffet that lots of snorkeling trips eat on day trip to the island. Since the buffet was ready and we were really hungry, we just ate the buffet. It’s not the greatest Thai food you’ll eat, but it was ok.

 

Bungalow Price - 2,000 THB ($61.69) per night - Bungalows are basic, but comfortable, with AC and self contained. I thought they were great.

 

The best things for me about staying at the bungalow overnight is that Koh Surin (หมู่เกาะสุรินทร์) can be busy during the day because most people take day trips to the island, but head back to mainly by 3 or 4 pm. So being there after hours, it was so quiet, so peaceful, and so relaxing. That was the best.

 

Thank you for watching and hope you’re having a fantastic day!
