If I was to ask you, where would you find a field of tulips in bloom? You will probably say, Holland. Would you believe me if I said that you can find it in Thailand? From browsing Flickr photos on my Lenovo laptop, I chanced upon this particular shot of...
Two of the largest temples in Chiang Mai – Wat Chedi Luang and Wat Phra Sing – are located within a ten-minute walk of each other in Old City, the historic and cultural district of Chiang Mai. Here’s how we have planned our visit to Old City. We would first...
With just a day remaining on our stay in Siem Reap, we knew we had to step up our game and explore as much of it as possible. Having gotten a taste of the Angkor ruins the previous day, we certainly craved for more! Here’s the route we mapped out:...
For many people, the main purpose in visiting Siem Reap is to see the great temples of Angkor. Hidden in the Cambodian jungle for centuries, the ruins of Angkor were discovered only in 1861. Does the sound of a “lost civilisation” appeal to you? It certainly exudes an element of...

The day started off with me ignoring the alarm clock and waking up late. Had planned to go to Ayutthaya for the day. But when I got to the Hua Lamphong train station, it was already after noon. And if I caught the two-hour train ride to Ayutthaya anyway, it...
Gosh, I can’t believe I have to leave Bangkok in two days’ time. I have already gotten so used to living in my serviced apartment, walking to the BTS station to take the skytrain, exploring the city by myself, taking pictures wherever I go, talking to random strangers, etc etc...
