South-East Asia is a non-stop smorgasbord of interesting, fun, exciting places for the traveller. Thailand is the prime hub I guess in many ways, with beaches, trekking, the nights and lights of Bangkok and more, Malaysia offers all that but in smaller doses with a fair dose of colonial history and architecture if that’s your …
Folks, the sequel to last week’s Travel Memories Cambodia Part One is here! I carefully and thoughtfully named it ‘Travel Memories – Part Two’ because you know, I’m very creative 🙂 Sooo last week I had recounted the journey from Bangkok through Poipet and Battambang to Siem Repp and the Temples of Angkor. This week …
Hi all. 'Little Places' today is taking me back to the year 2000. It was November-December and I was on my second ever solo backpacking trip, and first stop was South East Asia. Cambodia was the country to be explored, and I had met up with three random travellers who had connected on the Lonely …
Well. Today, I thought I would look at a possible itinerary for Cambodia. I know a couple of people who have been there recently, and things are a little different these days from when I went there back in the year 2000. For example, there is now a proper road from Siem Repp to the …
Hi all. Today's look through my lens takes me back a couple of years to Chiang Mai in Thailand. A bit of a tourist Mecca with a famous night market and more temples than your average South East Asian city, for some reason I found that there was a bit of a yellowish tinge to …
Good Sunday everyone, it's time to look at a country through long, this pictures, and this week's country is .... Myanmar. These photos are from 2015, I was surprised I hadn't done one earlier for Myanmar which is seriously a beautiful country. Sadly I have none from Yangon nor Pyin oo Lwin, but there are …
Howdy folks! Maybe I should have named this ‘where I would go in South East Asia’… but I am going to try and tailor this post to different tastes so we’ll see how we go. South East Asia is absolutely full of amazing highlights, there’s no denying it, and those highlights come in many forms …
Ahhh hello. Yes, the ‘humble’ tuk-tuk. I’ve spent a fair bit of time in them in my travels. A lot of fun, or a lot of hassle? Or perhaps a bit of both. I’ve gone with ‘tuk-tuk’, although in India I used to know then as an ‘auto’ or indeed ‘auto-rickshaw’. I’ve also heard the …
Howdy all. I guess now that I’m home it’s ‘review season’, and I like to start with the airlines. Followers of the blog may know that when it comes to SCOOT I boarded the plane already having a big issue with them with you can read about HERE. Short summary – was due to fly …
Happy 'Hump-Day' to all. Today's photographic presentation takes us to Malaysia. Now, I will be the first to admit that many of these photos are not particularly amazing, but Malaysia was the first time I started using a digital camera. An old Canon, can't remember the exact model, but it took photos in an amazing …
