Today I'm speaking with the organisers behind the Hong Kong Foodie Tours in Hong Kong. Cecilia and Silvana are the great masterminds behind this concept, where they take food lovers on a tour of backstreets in Hong Kong, so they can taste different culinary highlights and learn about the history of the district as well… Continue reading Interview with the Hong Kong Foodie Tours
Next to the JW Marriott hotel in Khao Lak is a small village called Khuelkhak. We would have not visited this place, if our tuk tuk driver was not from this area. He told us that there is a nice temple in Khuelkhak that is currently being renovated. As it was just minutes away from… Continue reading Khao Lak: Khuelkhak Temple
Next to Sri Takua Pa is the new city - which is just like almost any other city in this area of Thailand. A few houses along the road, a few small shops, restaurants and a market. So nothing special and nothing that you need to visit. However, when you go to Sri Takua Pa… Continue reading Khao Lak: Takua Pa New Town Market
There isn't that much to do around Khao Lak - but one thing you should not give a miss is the old town of Takua Pa. I tried to found out as much about it as possible, but there is not much information online apart from an interesting blog post on Jamie's blog. So we… Continue reading Khao Lak: Sri Takua Pa
There is not much to do in Khao Lak, besides relaxing at the beach or exploring the national park. One of the few alternatives is to visit the Bang Niang Market on a Monday, Wednesday or Saturday afternoon. Bang Niang itself, three kilometres North of Khao Lak, is a strange little place that looks a… Continue reading Khao Lak: Bang Niang Market

The whole park covers 125 square kilometres and runs in a west to east direction, including beaches and mountains. The… Continue reading Khao Lak: Chong Fa Waterfall
I guess I've been infecting with a travelling bug, I've been hitting the road quite regularly. After Singapore, my journey took me to Thailand. Together with my parents I flew to Phuket and then travelled 70-80 minutes north to Khao Lak, which is on the mainland in the Thai Mueang District of Phang Nga Province… Continue reading Khao Lak: Marriott
Actually 'little' is the wrong term to describe our cat Sam. He is a proper cat now, one year old and very happy. He's a handsome boy, a real charmer who exactly knows what he wants. He loves to play with his toys, eats almost anything (if he could he'd have a cheese sandwich for… Continue reading Happy birthday little Sam
Ok, let’s start with a little ad hoc series about travel tips. They are all from my point of view, from an art & food loving person who travels with her husband, friends and sometimes even with her parents – but without kids. Wherever I go, I try and see as much of the local… Continue reading 48 hours with me in Singapore
Ok, so this headline makes the post sound like a very old one... well it's not actually that old. It's just comparing pictures from a visit to Singapore back in 1994 to now, in 2014. So just 20 years in between! We have not changed much have we? It's just the Merlion that has changed… Continue reading Singapore: Merlion then and now
