Travel: Amazing Thailand


(Click photo to enlarge, thanks!)
Hubby and moi's first trip to Bangkok & Ayutthaya Thailand with some friends.
Bangkok or Krung Thep is also called "City of Angels" and Thailand being the Land of Smiles :):):)  I believe there's NO question calling this place "AMAZING", hands down!
It's been three years since we've visited this amazing place on earth but I can still clearly remember everything as if it was only yesterday:)  I was the designated "travel agent" for our group composed of 8 adults and 1 child.  We made the most out of our 4 days 3 nights trip to the Land of Smiles.  Some of the highlights include the following:
-strolling at the famous backpackers paradise Khao San Road and
dinner at Mayompuri Siam Garden;
-took a TUK-TUK ride to visit the Democracy Monument;
-early morning visit to Chatuchak Park and bargain shopping afterwards at  Chatuchak Weekend Market;
-trip outside Bangkok, to Thailand's old capital city called Ayutthaya, saw temple ruins, Reclining Buddha and elephants up close;
-visit to Grand Palace, the Temple of  Golden Buddha;
-strolling around Chinatown area which is very near our hotel (Grande Ville);
-shopping at the huge MBK Mall;
If you are planning to visit Bangkok for the first time, here are some helpful tips:
 
TRAVEL TIPS 
        We’re an hour ahead of Thailand. 
        BKK Airport is about 50 mins. away from Khao San Area
        Floating Market is about 80 kms. outside BKK.
        Chatuchak (Open on weekends only, visit preferably in the morning)
        When visiting the TEMPLES (preferably early in the morning and we must not wear SHORTS otherwise we will  not be accommodated).

3D2N Food Trip in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental Philippines

Image
Time really flies when you're having fun:-) Just like our recent trip to Bacolod, the Capital City of Negros Occidental last weekend Oct. 11-13, 2013, time flew fast:-) Dubbed as the "City of Smiles" and home of the MassKara Festival, held every 3rd week of October. Although our visit fell short of one week prior the actual festival, it's all good! We have great reason to come back next year. We took advantage of Air Asia's Seat Sale as well as Go Hotels promo. Our airfare and hotel accommodation was a steal for a little less than Php 2k each:-) As soon as my good friend Panx sent me a message via fb about the seat sale (that was around first week of September), I immediately told hubby about it. After booking, I did some research from blogs on the internet to help me prepare our itinerary. It's great to know that it will be the first time for all of us to get there, we're so excited esp. after reading the reviews about all the food and the amazing p...

Beach Getaway: White Rock Water Park and Beach Resort

June 6, 2015 Saturday How quick time flies, it feels like just a few days ago when we said hello to summer via my post on the first week of March 2015 . There was no shortage  of water activities this past few months, I must say Summer 2015 to date, has been the busiest! And the hottest!  I personally take a bath 2-3 times a day! So when schedule permits, we are either at a swimming pool or at the beach on weekends! And since we said hello to summer, it is but fitting to say goodbye! Last Saturday we did! Hubby and I were invited by my friend Anne and her family to join them at White Rock Water Park and Beach Resort for a beach getaway. Welcome to WHITE ROCK! Waiting at the Lobby of the Hotel While waiting for the others, I roamed around the lobby and noticed that White Rock Hotel is spotless/very clean! Staircase to the rooms upstairs Sunset Cafe near the lobby I fell in love with the ceiling! We took advantage of the amenities...

March 8, 2015 (Sunday) Welcoming Summer 2015 with a trip to the beach/food trip!  Some of hubby and moi's friends from the office decided to plan a trip to the beach with our families and kids to relax and beat the summer heat.  Our call time was at 6AM however with a few glitches we we're only rolling at 10AM... I always enjoy road trips to Zambales because of the smooth ride, no traffic, plus no toll fees! Roadtrip:  On the way to San Felipe Zambales We arrived at San Felipe Zambales around lunch time.  With the sun, the sea and the sea breeze we feasted on a sumptuous lunch:-) Pork barbecue, Korean Pancit, CPA and fruits for lunch:-) Double thumbs up Kuya Joe! A beautiful sunny day for swimming! Life is a beach:-) Hubby and me:-) I didn't get the chance to swim though because I had sniffles...better luck next summer trip!
