  • Shambara Guesthouse

    When I was still on the planning stage of my trip, I discovered Shambara Guesthouse. It looks great in the pictures, and every site I came upon have rave reviews for Shambara, from travellers who have stayed there before. I wanted to stay in Khao San Road, and Shambara’s the best guesthouse in the area…

  • I’m on TV!

Anyway, as a filler, instead of my usual photo posts, I’m sharing my itinerary for my Thailand & Singapore trip last May.…

  • Ang Pambansang T-shirt

    The National T-Shirt Now these are tourist shirts I wouldn’t mind wearing. Out with the tacky “My xxx went to xxx and all I got was this lousy shirt” shirts!

  • Hostelling it at Hostel Thailand
