A Day in Saigon

Saigon, aaaaah beautiful Saigon. Even though our stay was brief in the former capital of the French colony in Vietnam, it was definitely one for the books. In all the places I’ve been to, I’ve never seen so many motorcycles and coffee shops in one place!

Khmer Legacy

Siem Reap which literally translates to “Defeat of Siam”, is a city situated in the Angkor Region of Cambodia and home to one of the oldest powers in Southeast Asia, the Khmer Empire.

Pub Street in Siem Reap

I have to admit I thought the only thing interesting about Siem Reap was the Angkor Wat, turns out I was wrong. The Pub Street in downtown Siem Reap a place known for its cheap food and amazing crowd, which makes it a hot spot for both locals and tourists in Cambodia.

The Ruins of Ayutthaya

One of the things that make me really happy is visiting old places. Whenever I travel I make sure to stop by the historical sites of cities or countries I visit and immerse myself in its roots and culture.

Damnoen Saduak Floating Market

Tracing its roots back to ancient times, trading goods along canals and rivers was a common sight all over the world. Farmers and traders alike paddle their goods in wooden boats to sell their produce. Today, some parts of the world still practice such tradition and one of the most popular ones is just a 2-drive away from Bangkok, the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market.

Spiritual Heart of the Thai Kingdom

Built in 1782 as the new seat of power of the Siamese Kingdom and the official residence of the royal family, the Grand Palace in the heart of Bangkok is a building complex known for its beautiful architecture, intricate detail, and the spiritual heart of the Thai Kingdom.

Chatuchak Weekend Market & Downtown Bangkok

Of course a trip to Bangkok wouldn’t be complete without visiting one of the largest weekend markets in the world, the Chatuchak Weekend Market! Tip: Don’t shop in malls. Chatuchak is your shopping spouse and be loyal.

Wanderland Music & Arts Festival 2014

I really wanted to go to last year’s festival but unfortunately I didn't have money (yuck), so I really made sure that I’m going to this year’s. To be honest, when the line-up was announced I only knew one band; The Drums, so I researched about the others immediately because I really wanted to enjoy the festival.

The 1975 in Manila

I would just like to say that I love this band so much I woke up early and was in queue for more than 4 hours just to get a ticket for their mall show, yes you read it right, mall show. When they performed here in Manila I didn’t expect that they have a huge fan base (teenage girls) here, considering most of their songs are about sex and drugs (do they even realize that?). So weird.
