For the urban dwellers walking down the street, Myanmar can throw up its fair share of hazards. I was lucky that there were many helpful passers-by to help me through the ordeal. It was the compassion of passers-by that made my experience in Myanmar more bearable than it could have otherwise been.
From its sweeping green valleys spread with vineyards to its ancient churches and watchtowers perched in fantastic Caucasus mountain scenery, Georgia is one of the most beautiful places on earth and one of the countries of the Silk Road at this age-old Eurasian crossroads.
Well known for its bustling landscape of lifestyle malls and shopping bazaars, Amari Watergate Bangkok is nestled in the heart of the vibrant Pratunam neighbourhood in downtown Petchburi. With shopping on our agenda, we were glad to find the Platinum Fashion Mall located right opposite the hotel while CentralWorld, Pratunam market, Big C supermarket, as well as other attractions such as the Erawan Shrine are within a few minutes walk away.
Meet Hayden Lak, a 36-year-old Anak Johor and entrepreneur who runs a tech business in Singapore and has been commuting to and fro for two decades. It was a big deal for the permanent resident, who lives in Johor with his parents and drives into Singapore for work about three times a week, and his experiences led him to create a Web application that charts traffic trends at the Causeway and Second Link since December 2015 to help drivers beat the queues.
Besides companion at home and at work, we have been keeping each other company on the road, since our first backpacking trip by rail throughout Taiwan in 2013 and Sa Pa in Vietnam last year. In continuing our new-found tradition, our initial idea to travel light will be put to the test with the cold spell in Dali, and in particular, a snow-covered Shangri’La can put pay to our best-laid plans. However, the thought of seeing snow for the very first time had filled her with great anticipation, and thereby strengthen her resolve to go ahead!
Forget the notion that Thailand’s all about night markets, shopping and food. Instead, think flower gardens, European-themed streets and even hobbit homes! Up there on the podium with some of the world’s greatest parks, Khao Yai is one of Thailand’s oldest and most visited reserve which was named a Unesco World Heritage Site. If you’re craving a quick getaway to experience Europe without flying the distance, simply grab your next direct flight out from Senai via AirAsia to neighbouring Thailand but skip the crowds at Bangkok and head over to the scenic Khao Yai just 2.5 to 3 hours away.
