Loi Krathong is an annual festival celebrated on Thailand and Laos during the full moon of the 12th Thai month (November). Roughly translated, Loi Krathong means “to float a basket” and the purpose of the festival is twofold – to honour the Goddess of Water and to release any bad luck and negativity.

There is something indescribably captivating about El Nido. Yes, it’s an incredibly beautiful quaint and small seaside town snugly situated between giant limestone mountains and the calm lapping ocean – but it’s more than that. It’s a finely woven spell of natural beauty, authentic life not completely overrun by tourism, sincere and kind local people, magnificent lagoons and the sense that El Nido could give you enough to fall off the radar completely that makes leaving this part of the Philippines very hard indeed. Located on the island of Palawan and an hour flight from the Filipino capital of Manila, Puerto Princesa was the first stop on my week-long adventure in the Philippines.
