When you visit Hong Kong, there are many things you must do – go on the Lion Rock hike, visit the Big Budhha, take the Peak Tram, and many more. However, there is one activity in Hong Kong that many travellers miss – trying dim sum. Because of how complicated and intimidating dim sum restaurants might …
I’ve now lost count of how many applications for Cambodia Tourist Visas I’ve done through 15-odd-years now travelling in Southeast Asia. Where my first times in Thailand I would be crossing the borders pretty much monthly on Visa Runs to renew my stay in Thailand. This more or less meant crossing the border to Cambodia …
This was not so much about me sharing the sweet custardy delight of durian with my loved ones back home. But more for the challenge and adventure of travelling with this notoriously stinky fruit, which is pretty much banned from public transport, hotels and airlines in Thailand. “No Durian Allowed”. And I really just thought …
Bangkok would be relatively central in Thailand and as the Kingdom’s capital it is also a busy travel hub with so many travel options to reach the islands of Southern Thailand. This includes 2 international airports (Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang), a massive train station (Hua Lamphong), and major bus and minivan terminals for travelling to …

It’s hard to say these days that anywhere is an off-the-beaten-track Bali destination. But there are still those areas where you can escape the mass tourism and overdevelopment that otherwise rules the southern beach resorts of Bali. And our advice would be to travel north, away from Denpasar Airport (airport transfer here), then don’t stop …
My interest in travel to Tibet is not so much for the tourist stops in Lhasa, or even in the surrounding autonomous region itself. But more for the journey through the remote regions of the Himalayas and the mysterious Roof of the World. A region which is still somewhat contentious in parts, with 4 bordering …
Our arrival to the shores of Sanur was not a comfortable one, as we are dumped from our boat from Nusa Penida into near waist level waves. RIP Fanfan’s iPhone. But it is always these low points in travel that make the highs so much better. And the contrast in comfort on arrival to the …
It does feel almost like routine now, to jump into a taxi north from Denpasar airport, and then don’t stop until reaching the valleys of Gianyar and Ubud. As we just know where exactly we want to be in Bali. So again we are back on the ‘Island of the Gods’, only this time to …
