Known for its pristine beaches and spicy street food, Thailand has long been a haven for travellers seeking both adventure and relaxation. From bustling markets to serene island getaways, the country's diverse landscapes and vibrant culture offer something for everyone. But for one travel vlogger, a routine journey in Thailand turned into an unforgettable escapade when she boarded an overnight ferry from Koh Tao to Surat Thani.
In a video shared on Instagram, vlogger Gabbi revealed that she had expected an assigned bunk bed. Instead, she was placed on the top deck with “no walls, no real barriers, just a thin mattress next to an open railing that led straight to the gulf.”
She wrote in the caption, "The 8 hour ride itself wasn't exactly the smoothest, but honestly? It was one of those moments that you can't help but find hilarious even in the chaos. The most treacherous of journeys make for the best stories."
