NAT GUESTHOUSE at Khao San Road Bangkok

Khao San Road is very similar to some of the streets in Bukit Bintang Kuala Lumpur.It's a short strip but is awash with accommodations,pubs, restaurants,flea stores and street food.It is at the heart of the backpacker's district of Bangkok.This is where the world's travelers c…

Crossing THAILAND-CAMBODIA Border via Aranyaprathet

I find it weird that the last bus to the border of Cambodia-Thailand being Aranyaprathet leaves Siem Reap at 8am.The next trip would be either midnight or 2am.There is already a direct trip from Siem Reap to Bangkok but it's quite pricey.By bus, the regular fare is just $6/pax.You pa…

WIDUS RESORT Clark: the Finest in Central Luzon

I do get a lot of queries about what hotel to recommend here and there.If it is accommodation in Clark that they ask though, I would always end up apologizing as I haven't tried staying in one in the area. That until a few weeks ago when we tried WIDUS RESORT.I have been routing f…

*Best in Breakfast Buffet: SALT RESTO Widus Hotel Clark

Allow me to post photos of our Breakfast Buffet at Widus Hotel Clark last time.I know hotel buffets are usually same same but this one really impressed me so I am making this separate entry to showcase the 'diverse' food choices and link it to the main post later on. And that…

Breakfast Bliss at #CAFE1771 Ortigas

This is what I miss about living in the area of Ortigas District, they have so many good restaurants to dine in.One particular place at the corner of Dona Vargas and ADB Ave is Cafe1771 which has earned a reputation on their breakfast menu. Finally found a reason few weeks ago to week …

SIEM REAP TRAVEL SUMMARY: $15 Day Tour of ANGKOR COMPLEX via Tuktuk

So here is the short summary of our day tour of Angkor Complex. $15 was all that's needed to rent the tuktuk.I contacted the same driver who took us to our hotel the night before and sealed the deal.There were 5 of us all in all and believe it or not, we fitted in one (1) tuktuk.lo…

Human Structures vs. Nature in TA PROHM Eastern Angkor

Temple Overload? I thought I have seen enough.But there was still one that we would like to visit before ending our day tour of Angkor Complex ---- TA PROHM. If it doesn't ring a bell . Ito lang naman yung temple na nasa Hollywood movie na "Tomb Raider" so people usually …

INSIDE ANGKOR THOM: Climb up BAPUON for an Amazing View

I call it "element of surprise".I didn't expect another spectacular temple just around 200 meters Northeast of Bayon.One of the rewards of not researching heavily on the place if I may say so. While the splendor of Bayon is difficult to match,Bapuon sits quietly proud in …

the "Forest of Face Towers" that is BAYON TEMPLE

I really find Angkor Wat photogenic in every angle (especially because we were there in the early morning) not to mention that being inside it,you feel how strong the structure is. BAYON TEMPLE on the other hand has a different appeal.From afar,you would find it a bit hard to make sense …

The "annoyingly annoying" RESTAURANT BARKERS at Angkot Wat

There are annoyances anywhere.It's up to you if you will allow it into your nerves or simply shrug it off.Most wouldn't even be blog worthy, but there is one incident in Angkor Wat that almost spoiled our day.And so I am writing it here so that you know what to do when visiting An…

the "Mother of All Temples" that is ANGKOR WAT

I took the liberty of using the word "shockingly" as a superlative so as to describe the awesomeness that is Angkor Wat because I find it difficult to find a word that could give justice to its majesty,beauty and grandeur.I wasn't even close. Ah.Angkor Wat! At last.To s…

KHEMER SOUR SOUP, Cambodian Noodle w/ Curry at PAI SAN RESTAURANT Siem Reap

I was supposed tp write about the temples of Angkor as introductory article to my Siem Reap Series para Grand Entrance, kaso kailangan ko pa mag-aral ng kaunti a nd read the dictionary more.M auubusan ka ng adjectives talaga coz not being descriptive about it is such an injustice. Let…
