Travelling with a purpose is essential to me these days. It is akin to like putting on a different pair of glasses and viewing through it from another perspective or dimension. I’ve been to Bangkok a couple of times before, but none of my previous leisure trips is quite like this. Our sole purpose of…

Bangkok, Thailand: Centre Point Hotel Pratunam Review
Bangkok is somewhat an amazing upbeat city which has a lot to offer. It’s more than just a food and shopping destination as there’s also the cultural and historical side to Bangkok which I was about to explore. During my study trip to Bangkok, I stayed three nights at Centre Point Pratunam. This hotel belongs…
Chiang Mai 2015 – The Legend of a Vegan – Day 5 and 6 : Asia Scenic Thai Cooking School
This marks the most exciting finale of our trip as we went on to sign up for an amazing outdoor cooking full-day workshop with Asia Scenic Thai Cooking School. There were several Thai cooking schools recommended on Trip Advisor but I have not come across Asia Scenic. So I would think this is a…

Chiang Mai 2015 : The Legend of a Vegan – Day 2 : Royal Project Store + Green Bamboo Massage
Sawadii Ka! Breakfast is complimentary at the hotel and there were 3 choices: Fruits + muesli + yoghurt, American Breakfast set with eggs and bacon or just simply toast. It was a Sunday and we decided to head over to a Church there in Chiang Mai. We just googled for a church that offers English…
Chiang Mai 2015: The Legend of a Vegan – Day 1 : Buri Gallery House + Saturday Night Market
This was actually meant to be a solo trip to Chiang Mai where the Thai Raw Til 4 Vegan Fruit Festival is happening. But I was even happier when my all-time best friend, Vanessa could hop along. In 6 days, we conquered Chiang Mai, a city in a mountainous region of Northern Thailand, where its…
CNY Trip to Thailand : Hat Yai and Songkhla
I know, I know. It’s crazy. It does seems like I’ve been travelling non-stop since the last December school holidays. When such travelling opportunities arise, how I could I bring myself to say no? Sometimes I really think that my motto in life is, “to live to travel”. Rewinding back in time, I spent my…
Krabi, Thailand Travelogue : Day 4 – Leaving Paradise Town
We’ve come to the last day of the sweet. I would call it a bitter-sweet ending for me. Bitter because going back to Singapore equals to facing the realities of life once again. Sweet because it’s like a dream to be trekking across the globe. On our last day, a couple of friends and I…
Krabi, Thailand Travelogue: Day 3 – Island Hopping with James Bond
Island-hopping Day! We visited 3 islands, spending an hour at each island. Our half-day tour begins at Ao Nang Beach. There’s no jetty. We simply just board the speedboat at the shore. That was another episode of turbulence when the speedboat goes really fast and I was screamed whenever the waves came crashing against our…

Krabi, Thailand Travelogue: Day1 – Little Krabian Soldiers
Three Krabian Nights Things started on the wrong note when the flight from Singapore to Krabi was a traumatising experience for me and ten other friends. From the minute the plane took off, the plane has been shaking, bobbing up and down in the skies. I wonder why. It’s either the aircraft, pilot of simply…
