The final wrap up from our time in the land of smiles! After 3-months of travel, we finally made it to our first SE Asia country and it was about time. We were growing tired of living on a backpacker’s budget. It was time to splurge a little for luxury in the land of smiles… Read more…

Where To Stay: Thailand
List of places we’ve stayed in Thailand. Pros and con and more. We decided to start a new series on all the places we’ve stayed and whether we’d recommend it.. starting with Thailand.

Siam Niramit: The Most Spectacular Show in Bangkok.. NOT!
An 80- minute “journey” is 80 minutes too long! Do not be fooled by the billboards and cab drivers telling you otherwise. This is probably the worst show on Earth. So I shouldn’t be surprise when going through my memory card that I came out with a whopping 1 photo of momentum of a night… Read more…
