Awakening Bangkok – Lights Festival

A Spectacular Festival of Lights. From November 15th-24th, 2019, locals and visitors were entertained by an illuminating festival in the City of Angels. Some iconic venues were lit up, for example the Central Grand Post Office to old warehouses. It kind of felt like being on a scavenger hunt with a map to guide us…

Babette’s The Steakhouse, Hotel Muse

From the moment I stepped into the hotel lobby it felt as though I wasn’t in Bangkok. With a gracious welcome from reception and the dark, yet classy decor of the hotel, I instantly felt the concept that they were going for. Babette’s Bangkok is on the 19th floor and also follows the same theme…

White Sand Beach, Koh Chang

White Sand Beach is one of the most popular beaches on Koh Chang. The beach itself is well kept, swimmable, and the tide is generally very good. It’s also known as North White Sand Beach because it’s the busier strip where you can find many resorts, restaurants and shops. If you’re dining at a restaurant…

Khlong Nonsi Waterfall, Koh Chang

One of the activities you could do on Koh Chang is to visit a waterfall. Khlong Nonsi Waterfall is a great option because it’s free of charge and one of the less popular ones on the island. It’s situated on the east of the island and makes for a fun outing. To get there you…

Bangbao Fishing Village, Koh Chang

If you’re on the southern part of Koh Chang Island, then Bangbao Fishing Village is worth it. There are vendors selling souvenirs similar to that of other markets, restaurants over the water to have a good & inexpensive seafood meal. Other than that, it’s great walking around and admiring the houses built on stilts. There’s…

Mercure Koh Chang Hideaway

A beach resort on the tropical island of Koh Chang. The resort has its own private beach, a large kiddie pool and much more! Getting from Bangkok to Koh Chang takes the most part of a day, but as they say: the roads less traveled leads to a great adventure. The resort is on the…

Getting from Bangkok to Koh Chang

I love Koh Chang island, BUT I dread the journey there. Some 300+ km from Bangkok is not an easy trek on the road. There’s an airport in Trat Province, however, the flights are extortionate and quite frankly not that much of a time saver when you consider check-in and the other things that go…

Mumsa Beach Resort & Restaurant

A pristine beach, hammocks to laze in, and a beach bar to quench your thirst from the Thai sun – what’s not to love about that! Mumsa Beach Resort & Spa is a just the right place if you’re looking for a secluded break, or even just to stay there for a night whilst passing…

Baan-Ton-Mai (The Tree House Cafe) offers a unique outdoor eating experience. With tree houses dotted around amidst lush gardens and jungle, you can’ t help but feel relaxed.

Krabi Beach Guide

On a road trip this year, I went to the south of Thailand from Bangkok to Krabi. Needless to say, I stopped at many beautiful beaches along the way. This blog focuses only on the ones I visited in Krabi, but I plan to update it once I go to the others in the area,…
