Flying on a Jet Plane

Bustling Capital, Phnom Penh

  The Royal Palace S-21 Prison Museum Russian Market, where you can find everything here Busy, hectic, messy, vintage but yet developing and vibrant; the best words to describe the city of Phnom Penh. As the Cambodia’s capital, Phnom Penh is now the centre of economic and governance. Used to be ruled under French, a lot of French colonial architecture can still be found in the cities. French…

Exploring Pub Street of Siem

In Siem Reap, the famous The Ancient City of Angkor stays as the main focus as one of tourists spots and packed during the day-time. But at night, the Pub Street, Old Market and the Night Market areas are the liveliest. You can find almost everything here, from local Khmer to Western food, souvenirs, pubs and bars to body massage shops. Siem is a small town after all. The easiest way to go around…

Get Lost in The Jungle Temple, Ta Phrom

Ta Phrom, my favourite temple among the other sites in Angkor. This beautiful temple is bound by massive roots of huge trees, complimenting the mysterious feel for everyone who steps into this magnificent temple site. It was not originally built bound by the trees. Just like the other temples, it used to serve its function as a monastery of the king, modelled on the King Jayavarman VII’s mother…

The Bayon After our visit to the magnificent Angkor Temple (read my post about Angkor Temple here), we continued to the next site. The Bayon Temple is another amazing site of Angkor Wat that I would say worth the journey. Once we arrived at The Bayon, it was already almost noon and the day was getting hotter. Stepping into the temple complex, I was welcomed by many massive stones with smiling…

Siem Reap, City of the Khmer Empire

  Sunrise at the Ankor Wat The carvings telling stories about Hinduism Mini rock piles. The locals believe they are to bring good lucks. I’ve been to quite a number of cities in South East Asia but there is nothing more exotic than Siem Reap. The city is famous for its massive Angkor Wat Temple, one of the most important archaeological sites of Southeast Asia and which is also one of the UNESCO…

Spending a few days in Penang couldn’t be more peranakan. The moment I stepped into the town, I felt vintage. Penang embraces modernity while preserving its old charm and the heritage buildings. It is fair enough for George Town to be listed as one of UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. What a must-do here is to bike around the Art Street Armenian and discover the unique wall paintings. There…

Finally, after exploring Phuket and the islands surroundings, it’s the time for Songkran!

The festival was actually started on the 12th. After the relaxing sea-canoeing in the afternoon (read more about the canoeing tour here), we went back to our hotel

, had ourselves cleaned up and head to Patong area to check on the water party.

The trip to Patong by TukTukwas THB400. As we were getting nearer…

Many may have done canoeing. But how about sea-canoeing and exploring the sea caves? On my second

day

in Phuket, we booked

another

one-day tour for sea-canoeing. The most famous

and popular tour is by John Gray’s Seacanoe. They offer

quite a variety of tour package

that we can pick. As for us, we went for the Hong by Starlight. The tour brought us to explore the nature of Phang Nga Bay.

We were…

This month I had my short get-away to Thailand to experience the celebration of Songkran Festival 2015. This year, the Songkran fell on April 13th-15th. There are a few hot spots for Songkran Festival and I picked Phuket.

We flew to Phuket on April 10th, 3 days before the festival started. As Songkranwas still a few days away, we decided to do what is a must-do in Phuket : ISLAND HOPPING TOUR!…

I think if I’ve learned anything about friendship, it’s to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don’t walk away, don’t be distracted, don’t be too busy or tired, don’t take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff. – Jon Katz

Opposite attracts? Hmm, I do believe in that…  Just like our friendship,…

  The last week of January 2015 was the sweetest weekend for me and my girls. We had a photo-shoot session to celebrate our 12th year of best-friendship. Professional Mr.Photographers as well as Ms.Make-up artist were hired to help.

It was amazing how we got this done efficiently within a day. From the super early make-up session, quick pizza-delivery for lunch, noisy but crazy snapping…

It is not my first and second time going to Bali. But going to Bali this time, instead of staying at a hotel, I gave a try to stay at a villa. It would be my first time staying at a private villa.

My friends and I decided to stay in a 2-bedroom villa, since there were 4 of us. It is a pretty good deal as for the similar price, we’ll get our own private space including the whole living…

Everyone who visits Bali should experience watching the famous Kecak dance. It is a Balinese dance which also a music drama depicting the story of Ramayana. The signature of the dance itself, is the performers who percussively chants “cak” and moves their hands and arms.

There are a few places to catch the performance. One of the best places is Pura Uluwatu or Uluwatu Temple. The temple is…

Motel Mexicola… It is the current hipster place in Seminyak, Bali. I’ve seen pictures posted in social media platforms, showing bits of how the place looks like. The place was definitely the top of my list for my Bali trip this time.

Do not get mistaken by its name. Motel Mexicola is not an average motel, it’s actually a bar! The moment I stepped into Motel Mexicola, I felt that I was in a set…

My favourite place in Seoul? Absolutely Insadong 인사동. Located nearby Bukchon Hanok Village and Samcheondong, Insadong 인사동is another centre of traditional Korean arts. Here, I could find various Korean traditional souvenirs, antiques, pottery, calligraphy and other artistic pieces of art that I could not find in Seoul’s modern districts. Art galleries and traditional tea houses add to the interest…
