This post was originally published on my lifestyle blog, Ramble Tumble. Since it is about accommodation, I figured it will be useful to my Travel Kudos reader, so I decided to republish the post here. Singapore has a whole range of accommodations that suits every budget and need. From swanky 5-star hotels to unique boutique […]
May started baking since 10 years old and she wanted to share the love of good coffee and desserts with everyone. She opened the first After You Dessert Cafe in 2007 right after college. After You Dessert Cafe’s menu consists of thick toasts, kakigori, pancakes and hot/cold coffee drinks. You can find the full toast, […]
Call me ignorant but I didn’t know that boat is a form of transportation in Bangkok. Sure, I see the canals on maps, but I didn’t know that you can actually take a boat from one place to another. You can read more about the different types of boats, prices and operating hours at Bangkok.com. […]
It’s ironic that I have never visited a Thai floating market even though I have been to Bangkok quite a few times. My travel companions were only interested in shopping. I made it a point to visit at least one floating market on this Thailand trip. Pattaya Floating Market is another of those “incidental findings”. […]
My girlfriend and I discovered Suriya Land by accident. We arrived too early at Pattaya Floating Market and it was not open yet.

I am so glad I took up my DewyHouse host, Chim’s advise to check out Nimmanahaeminda Road. I stumbled upon Mont Nom Sod, one of the most popular dessert shop in Thailand. Just a few steps next to Mont Nom Sod is an inconspicuous stall called Chang Moi Noodle. It is not popular but it […]
I was strolling down Nimmanahaeminda Road as recommended by my host at DewyHouse, Chim, and his wife, Dewy. It is a lovely place to take a stroll with small alleys on both sides of the road to wander in and explore. Just then, I spotted a small restaurant with many Thais queuing. One thing I […]
Staying at Fundee Story Guesthouse is a wonderful experience and the host, Pho, is extremely helpful but the lack of air-conditioning is insufferable. I have problem sleeping at night even though I have the electric fan at full blast. To give myself more flexibility, I did not pre-book the train ticket from Chiang Mai to […]
Chiang Mai in northern Thailand is a nice place, but there are only so many temples you can see before everything becomes a golden blur. After visiting all the must-visit tourist destinations such as Doi Suthep, Chiang Mai Zoo and Sunday Weekend Walking Street, there doesn’t seem to be anything else I want to see […]
