Oh, how I love street food! As far as my memory is concerned, I’ve been enjoying fishballs even before fishball carts started to roam around Ozamiz in the 80’s. Well, I just had them in Lipa though Mommy Becky always restricted us to eat street food for we might get Hepatitis out from it. But together […]

Bangkok Shopping
When I was still in the RTW business, I often heard my suppliers say, “That’s the last price. This is of good quality ‘coz this comes from Bangkok.”, “New arrivals from Bangkok!”, “That’s already very cheap from Bangkok.”, etc. So I got really curious why they always mentioned Bangkok, Bangkok, Bangkok when in fact, all […]
Baiyoke Sky Hotel
Seeing the panoramic view of a city makes us know the city even more. So when we went to Bangkok, we checked into the city’s highest point to see its entirety on top! Unlike Hong Kong’s The Peak, Bangkok’s uppermost place is directly accessible by just using a series of elevators despite Victoria’s very challenging […]
Wat Intharawihan: The Temple of the Standing Buddha
As mentioned in my last post, here’s another temple we’ve visited which is another one of the 40,000+ temples in Thailand – the Wat Intharawihan. In this temple, another giant Buddha, Luang Phor To stands tall in the midst of the complex that’s why it is called as The Temple of the Standing Buddha. The statue is made of bricks […]
Wat Benchamabophit: Marble Temple
According to our tour guide, there are about 40,000+ Buddhist temples all over Thailand and one of the most visited is the Wat Benchamabophit or commonly known as the Marble Temple. It is made of Italian marble so it is named after that. There are 52 images of Buddha in the gallery surrounding the temple […]
Whimsical Wednesday: From the Atmosphere to Forever
Whimsical Wednesday shows my fancy in a myriad of beautiful things. I’m sorry for interrupting this blog’s current line-up of Thailand posts. There’s just something I want to share with you, my ever dearest and very patient blog readers. So, come bear with me. Hehe….. Last week, I discussed the Layers of the Atmosphere to my […]
Damnoen Saduak: Royal Thai Handicraft Center Company Limited
As with all other tour protocols, tourists must be brought to showrooms to learn of the country’s native products and to persuade them into buying at factory prices as they claim to be but are actually not for me ‘coz there are always bazaars and night markets which offers far lesser prices. So right after […]
Damnoen Saduak: Floating Market
And my tomorrow became a day after tomorrow then another day. I’m sorry to keep you waiting for this post and for not keeping my word here. Just didn’t have the time to write yesterday and yesterday’s yesterday ‘coz we celebrated Ella‘s 9th birthday at Lala’s Eco Park. Yeah right, we’re regulars here already. Hehe….. […]
Damnoen Saduak: Elephant Village
Riding elephants in Thailand was only an optional plan and was not part of our itinerary because 1. as much as possible, I’m ticking off zoos and animals as a no-no visit every time I go ootc to avoid catching up viruses, 2. I’m not the outdoorsy type to get soaked under the sun for […]
