Encouraging women to try adventurous travel
After temple hopping in Chiang Mai as well as going to the White and Blue Temples of Chiang Rai, I was more or less prepared for Wat Pho or Wat Phra Chetuphon. What I did not expect was how spectacular the Reclining Buddha would actually …
I wasn’t sure what to expect when “booking” this tour and still wasn’t sure what to expect as we were doing it! But what this tour with Talabeng Sea Kayak lacked in preliminary information, it more than made up for in stunning views and a …
I love Thai food and have been cooking up a storm over the last few years (ever since I left my full-time job), so it was natural to seek out a cooking class while we were in Thailand. We ended up waiting until we were …
