After flying to Singapore from India, I took some time to enjoy Malaysia. I was quite surprised by how developed it was, and it gave me a much needed start to recharging myself after the intensity of India, enjoying plenty of local specialties, like peanut satay, along the way.

After India, I figured that I'd need some time to relax and unwind. Since I didn't visit the south Thai islands on my first trip to the country, I decided it'd be a great time to check them out. I filled my time with stunning beaches, great food, and rock climbing.
