Ruins or art? The historical riches a day trip from Bangkok
I was surprised to learn how easy it is to get to the Buddha head embedded in a banyan tree. Listed as a UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE and famously advertised by many, this is a great day trip!
Deciding how to get there and back, what we wanted to see, we opted to rent a motorbike in Bangkok and ride it all the way, sightseeing all day. The nearby sights are as spectacular as visiting the never rebuilt ancient city.
A photographer’s dream location!
🏖BAmbiance/Facilities: Local vendors selling water and seasonal fruits are by the main gate.
📍Address: Tha Wasukri, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya District, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya 13000, Thailand
💰Average Price per Person: 50 Baht.
💞Reasons to Recommend: Learning about historical events, cultural history and learning from local people is priceless.
📸 Photos are permitted. However to demonstrate courtesy, pictures should be taken from a kneeling or crouching position. Men are encouraged to wear long pants and women to cover knees and shoulders.
🏎 Getting there from Bangkok is as easy as booking a grab ride, riding a motorbike or taking a bus for a self guided tour, alternatively speak to your nearest travel agent for a guided tour.

Experience a culturally diverse heritage
Melaka is certainly a very unique place. The local people of Melaka embrace their significant heritage as not only were there Malaysians at the time in history but also Dutch and Portuguese migrants.
The architectural beauty still available today and various foods available is an eye-opening experience. Many of the people that passed on during their settlement in Melaka can still be visited at their tombs in the city grave yard and on the hill. What’s so beautiful about it is that their memory lives on and the area is being maintained to generations to learn from and enjoy!

A Trip To The Land of Morning Calm
#2024wish
The year 2023 is a very meaningful year for me because this year, for the very first time, I have dared myself to travel abroad solo, a dream that I have kept for a very long time.
Some of the memories that will forever be etched in my heart are the opportunity to visit South Korea and see the unique culture and history of the country, not forgetting the experience of wearing traditional Hanbok while walking around the grounds of Gyeongbokgung Palace! I remember all the Korean historical movies and dramas I have watched, and this is definitely a dream comes true!
Always attracted to nature and scenery landscapes, Nami Island and The Garden of Morning Calm stood out to be the delightful moments of my trip to South Korea. Nami Island is such a small vibrant island, strolling along its small gravel trails giving out lovely vibes as potrayed in the Korean drama 'Winter Sonata' while the Garden of Morning Calm cheerfully boasting its Millennium Juniper tree, which is estimated to be around 1000 years old, symbolizing strength, wisdom, usefulness and beauty - reminding me that despite difficulties faced in life, there's always hope and that somehow we would survive it.
I also had the experience of going through the underground tunnel in the DMZ Area that borders South Korea and North Korea, the same experience that reminded me of the unique experience of going through the Chu Chi underground tunnel while traveling to Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam a month earlier. Both countries have had its shares of being affected by wars, and it made my trip to South Korea more meaningful as I could understand how it has shaped its people, their resilience and determination to rise up after such harrowing events.
All these experiences made me even more determined to see more of this world, as much as possible, as long as I can and while there is still time.
In 2024, my travel target is to feel some snow at the tip of my fingers (sounds like a child's dream I know, but that's what it is 🤭); I want to sip a hot drink while looking in awe at the wonders of nature such as the volcanoe craters landscape and to experience more culture of people around the world. Hence, I don't have a specific country yet, but I believe time will tell, some doors will definitely open and I will fly to those destinations with an open heart, ready to find more wonders! 🕊️
Peru - A hiking Paradise
#2024wish Trekking in Peru has always been on top of my list. Being a mountain and nature lover, the Andes are a dream for all of those who love adventure and want to detach from the everyday noice and connect with the peaceful sounds of nature.
My husband and I had the privilege of spending one month in Peru, hiking, climbing and sightseeing. The highlight for us was an 8 day trek in the Cordillera Huayhuash. The scenery is truly and literally breathtaking as you find yourself trekking above 3,000m above sea level most of the time, and you can reach 5,200 m on some of the days.
Sleeping under a bed of stars and camping in the wild was special. It was worth not having a shower and smelling rotten for 8 days 😂, and would do it all over again!
My #2024wish is to visit and hike in China.

ShangHai Disneyland 🧚♀️🎠🪄✨
My first Disneyland experience in Shang Hai, China🇨🇳 !
It was a amazing and memorable place. The fireworks is worthy. The deco and building in Disneyland come with a lots effort especially the new Zootopia Park. It was almost 90% perfectly match up with the movie 🍿 🎥
I really enjoyed it! Also, I bought the tickets from Trip.com. It was easily to purchase and used. The only things you need to do was just show your passport to enter the park!
I wish to visit the other city in China which is Shen Zhen.

South Africa is beautiful!
#2024wish
My fav post COVID trip was to South Africa to see family and friends after 5 years. I did the following route : Johannesburg , Durban, George, Pretoria in 3 weeks.
As usual, the most fabulous scenery and delicious foods and there are plenty of amazing photos from each area of this trip, but more so the top foods we had every single day.
South Africa itself is so large and has so many wonderful places to visit in each area.
My favourite on this trip was the Garden Route , the first image is Wilderness Beach , and the second image is the fabulous Guest House called Moontide which is part of the Luxury Collection.
The last image is the Lighthouse in Umhlanga Rocks from the hotel restaurant where we had a fabulous seafood platter!
For 2024, my wish it to travel to Costa Rica
A Journey by Rail (Shikoku) - Tosa Province.
The Story of the Dawn of the Era in Shikoku Tosa
The train named 'The Spirit of Shikoku Tosa' departs from Kochi to Kubokawa, greeting NPCs and passengers at different stops with waves, while serving an exquisite meal.
The exterior is a retro mix of steam locomotive and jet engine designs, with a two-tone color scheme. From the front and back, it looks like two different trains:
The brown 'KUROFUNE (Black Ship)' car number one, themed after wooden steamships, features an interior with wood and sky blue tones, reviving the late 19th-century art design style that symbolized the 'dawn of a new century' with the Black Ships;
The white 'SORAFUNE (Sky Ship)' car number two is conceptualized as a modern space vessel, signifying the pursuit of future dreams. It offers a unique view of the tropical scenery along the Pacific coast, embarking on an unknown new journey.
In short, it's a fusion of old and new! The route is the Tosa Kuroshio Line, passing through Ino, Sagawa, Susaki, and Tosa Kure, with a total journey time of 2 hours and 40 minutes.
The meal is a Kochi Prefecture specialty 'Sara-bachi style' local cuisine, with hexagonal dishes containing grilled vegetables with tomato jelly, salt-grilled sweetfish, eel rice, stewed octopus, and Shimanto beef grilled with sansho miso.

A Lebanese restaurant with grass dance performances
收藏建議‼️有草皮舞表演的黎巴嫩餐廳🇱🇧🕺💃
Have you ever tried Lebanese cuisine? It's quite rare to find it in Hong Kong, but I recently discovered this new restaurant by the seaside in Tseung Kwan O 🌊🍽️. Turns out, they actually opened a branch in Tsim Sha Tsui last year, and it was doing really well, so they decided to expand 🎉🏙️. However, the interior design is completely different. They mentioned that they have grass dance performances every Friday and Saturday, which adds a fun and interesting element to the dining experience 🌿🎶.
Speaking of the food I had, I opted for some of their more unique dishes 🍽️🌟. The cold appetizer of Hummus was delicious, especially when paired with a drizzle of olive oil to enhance the flavors 🫒😋. The hot appetizers were also quite impressive 🔥👌. As for the main course, I ordered the chicken roll, which was packed with flavor 🍗🍚. It was wrapped in rice and the chicken was incredibly tender. I heard they slow-cook it for 8 hours, so they really put a lot of effort into it, and the sauce was also very unique 🕒👨🍳. Finally, I tried one of their desserts, which had a great depth of flavors, and I paired it with a floral tea. Even the teapot had its own charm 🍰🌺. Overall, I was very satisfied with the dining experience 🥰👍.
The restaurant has a distinct Eastern European-inspired decor, and the space is quite spacious 🏰✨. The overall dining experience was quite enjoyable, and I would definitely recommend it 🌟👏.

🛎️Lamb Arayes $128
🛎️Lebanese Style Chicken Roll $198

The Smallest Country on Earth
San Marino is a micro-country completely surrounded by Italy but is independent from Italy. Nestled in the mountains of the Adriatic Sea a few hours south of Venice, it’s often overlooked by travelers. It’s the oldest country in the world and has incredible things to do (not to mention breathtaking views!).
1. One of the best things to do in San Marino is to enjoy the views! The towering walls of the town often have peeks into the countryside, giving you a chance to look wherever you are
2. The most popular public square in San Marino. There are a number of shops in the square and places to eat. The Palazzo Pubblico, San Marino’s town hall, and iconic building are also located here. You can even see the changing of the guard here.
3. There are three towers that overlook the city and the countryside. They’re at the top of Monte. Wear comfortable shoes as the roads are hilly and uneven.
It’s a 30-degree uphill walk, so be sure to enjoy the sights and visit the few shops that dot the way.
4. Guaita Tower is the oldest and grandest of the three. Built during the 11th century, it also packed a lot of history. To get to the top, there is a very steep “staircase” – which is more like a ladder. Good to know if you’re afraid of heights.
5. The Cesta Tower is on the highest peak of Monte Titano. There is a museum inside displaying an impressive collection of weapons. The weapons date back to medieval times and continue to the present day. This museum also showcases how San Marino stood through wars and cultural impacts and yet still maintained its independence. It’s interesting to see all of the history in this tiny country.
6. Get your passport stamped with the San Marino stamp.

Fantastic day at Resorts World Sentosa 🇸🇬
One of the most memorable places we've visited in Singapore last year is the Resorts World Sentosa 🏝
Entry is free. However, famous attractions found inside the complex, such as Universal Studios, require a fee. We were able to access the area by riding a cable car from Harbourfront Tower two. Remember to check for promos as you may be able to avail unlimited cable car rides for affordable price.
I really enjoyed strolling around the area as there are plenty of food stalls and souvenir shops to choose from. I also love the colourful decorations and the gigantic Merlion, which are photoworthy! If you visit the island of Sentosa, make sure to stop by at the Resorts World Sentosa. It is definitely worth your time!

📍 Tai Mo Shan
📌 The highest peak in Hong Kong, with an elevation of 957 metres (3,140 ft) above the Hong Kong Principal Datum, or around 956 metres (3,136 ft) above mean sea level. It is located at approximately the geographical centre of the New Territories.
📌 Although Hong Kong is in the tropics, frost and icicles occasionally appear on the upper slopes of Tai Mo Shan, the city’s highest peak and an extinct volcano. This mighty mountain at the heart of the New Territories surpasses all other peaks in the city for its altitude and magnitude, and it’s noticeably cooler up there. Sometimes you’ll find yourself briefly surrounded by quick-moving clouds, or even see them filling valleys far below.
📌 Instead of trees, tall silvergrass grows on the upper slopes of Tai Mo Shan. The grass blades wave gently in the breeze and catch the sunlight as you hike higher up the mountain. When you see the huge golf-ball dome of the Hong Kong Observatory’s weather radar station, you know you are approaching the 957 m summit — another great photo spot. From this airy vantage point you’re treated to expansive views of mountain ridges extending in all directions, as well as the urban areas and sea channels. On a clear day, almost the entirety of Hong Kong🇭🇰 — mountains, city, islands and harbour — can be seen in one sweeping 360-degree panorama😍
📌 How to get there?
🚌 Take bus 51 from Nina Mall, near MTR Tsuen Wan West Station. Alight at Tai Mo Shan Country Park Bus Stop. Walk back along the road and then turn left to follow the path leading up.
🚶Leaving from Weather Radar Station
Walk back downhill the way you came. From Tai Mo Shan Country Park Visitor Centre, the Maclehose Trail leads back down to Route Twisk and emerges beside a bus stop. There, you can take bus 51 back to Tsuen Wan. The bus also stops at Chuen Lung if you choose to leave from there.
2024, I wish I can climb the second and third highest peak in Hong Kong🇭🇰
