    Review: Shangri-La Hotel, Bangkok

    Bangkok is one of my favorite cities to visit, and after several visits, I have already established some habits: staying at the same area, eating at the same places.

  • Travel Expenses: Bangkok part 2

    Continuing on with my post-trip series, here’s my travel expenses for Bangkok, Thailand. Like the previous post-trip accounting posts, this only include the land transfer coming into the country.

  • Day 5: Overland crossing from Cambodia to Thailand

    I woke up early, because my taxi is picking me up at 6:30am. I decided to cross the border to Thailand on my own, instead of taking the bus with the rest of the other tourists. The bus is actually so much cheaper than doing it on my own, but I guess I wanted to…

  • Another thing to do in Bangkok

    …is to find out where this is: I love how the train seems to be saying “Uhm, can I pass through please? Thank you.” XD

  • Holy packing sheet!

    I am now starting to LOVE Cebu Pacific.

  • What’s really happening in Thailand?

    Travelers are panicking — we’re flying to Thailand in X days; should we still push through?
