It’s ironic that I have visited Taronga Zoo Sydney and Chiang Mai Zoo, but I have never been to Singapore Zoo. I might have visited the zoo on school trip in primary school, but I have absolutely no memory of that. I decided to rectify the situation and paid a visit to the Singapore Zoo. […]
 Hike 攀登棉花岛狮子山 1)
On Kapas Island, besides snorkelling, banana boat and other water activities, another activiy to consider is hiking to Lion Hill. I did it on a recent Kuala Terengganu and Kapas Island Weekend Getaway and I conquered it. You can choose to either take a boat (RM$15-20 per person) or hike to Lion Hill. I would […]
Did you know that there is actually a natural history museum in Singapore? I have lived in Singapore for more than 20 years and I have only recently discovered that Singapore has its own natural history museum. It is nowhere as big as New York City’s American Museum of Natural History featured in the movie […]
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. We decided to explore the surrounding area on our rented motorcycle and chanced upon Suriya Land. The quirkiness of this place appealed to us so we decided to check it out. Suriya Land, […]
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 […]
I am not a fan of zoos. I have always imagine zoos to be smelly and full of noisy schoolkids. But after I visited Taronga Zoo Sydney, I find that zoos are actually quite fun. After being “templed-out” by the never-ending temples in the Chiang Mai Old Town, I decided to head to Chiang Mai […]
Free walking tour of London is one of the activities offered at Clink78. It sounds like a great way to get a feel of London so I signed up for it. The free walking tour is offered by SANDEMANs NEW Europe and there are three timings – 10am, 11am and 1pm. The tour is available […]
There are altogether 26 national parks in Sri Lanka and Horton Plains National Park is probably the most famous of them all. The most popular attraction in Horton Plains has to be the World’s End. My girlfriend and I planned to visit Horton Plains National Park all along and it was part of our itinerary. Where […]
Sri Lanka offers two of the most scenic train rides in the world, the Galle-Colombo/Colombo-Galle costal trian and Kandy-Ella/Ella-Kandy mountain train. Due to time constraint, I did not have time to try the Galle-Colombo/Colombo-Galle coastal train ride but it’s not that much of a deal since I have already had an amazing experience on the […]
