Our hotel is only ever a bridge and a boat away from what we feel are the main attractions of Bangkok. We’ve become well acquainted with a long alley that leads to the riverfront. Ever an interesting journey, we see…
Chao Phraya
We’re waiting in line for an express boat to take us down the Chao Phraya river in Bangkok to two of its most popular temples. After haggling prices of longtail boats in Krabi, we’re thankful that ticketing here is consistent,…
Doi Inthanon

Shopper’s Delight
I felt shopping deserved its own blog post due to the vast amount of shops there are in Singapore and Malaysia. From high end malls to flea markets, both countries have it all from the big designer names in the…
