• No snakes allowed

    There has been quite a furor over the policy regarding items you can pack in your check in luggage and hand carry. I was going to post something about it, and today, I found the perfect article to highlight: NO SNAKES OF ANY KIND WILL BE PERMITTED ON A PLANE. SNAKES ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED…

  • More than the usual

    I’ve been swamped with work this week, due a flu caused by an annoying toothache that left my dentist baffled because said tooth was perfectly healthy. So instead of writing more about my trip, I’m sharing with you one of my favorite TV commercial: The Philippine’s More than the usual campaign. This was first aired…

  • Out damned spot!

    When I was inside the Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok, it wasn’t the heat that disuaded me from taking pictures; it was the sheer number of tourists in the temple. Coming in early, as soon as the temple opened, apparently was EVERYBODY’S idea to avoid the large crowd, which ironically, resulted in palace and temple…

  • Moonhut Bungalow, Maenam Beach

    Before I pick a particular hostel or resort, I search the web and pore through every review I can find. Moonhut has its fair share of positives and negatives, but I find that its pluses outweighs its minuses. And that’s why I decided to try my luck with Moonhut Bungalow in Maename Beach in Ko…

  • Bangkok Buns & T.T’s

    I swear, I didn’t buy this for the box. What’s great about Hostel Thailand, aside from its proximity to the BTS Skytrain station, is that it’s near Silom, Bankok’s central business district. Because of this, there’s plenty of small restaurants and shops catering to the employees working in the surrounding buildings. One of them was…

  • Thailand-Singapore Itinerary

    I know I’ve been delinquent in updating this blog. I’ve been quite busy with life offline and on, that I don’t really have much time to come up with something that makes sense. 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!

  • 51 Ways to Cut Vacation Costs

    Here’s a great article for all of us budget travelers (or independent travelers; whatever floats your boat): 51 Ways to Cut Vacation Costs from National Geographic Traveler. I find myself agreeing with most of the list, but this one comes as a surprise: 2. Trash your “cookies,” small files (stored in your Internet browser) that…

  • Singapore via Cebu Pacific! – Updated!

    Cebu Pacific’s website and booking facilities now includes Singapore! I tried booking to see how much the fare would cost. The promo fare (buy from July 20 – 26, travel from Aug 31 – Oct 19) amounts to PHP 6,327.00. The non-promo fare amounts to Php 8,327.00 roundtrip. Not bad, eh? It comes out higher…
