This week’s Polaroid is of the Buddha and the fly…

Poodle princesses are common here in Thailand, though this one in Chiang Mai seems to top them all!

We caught a great cabaret show at the Night Bazaar in Chiang Mai this week…It was a blast to see these ladyboys give it their all on stage.

Set on the Ping river, this buzzing little city in central Thailand is home to a set of breathtaking ancient ruins. So why do so few people visit?

Bohol was the only island in the Philippines that I visited NOT for beaches and snorkeling, but for wildlife (tarsiers!) and the natural wonder of the Chocolate Hills.

Siquijor had not been in my original plans for the Philippines, but I am so glad that I ended up there – this island paradise became one of my favorite places in the Philippines!

Swimming with sea turtles is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever done – and in Apo Island in the Philippines, there are so many of them! Read all about my snorkeling adventure.

This weekly series focuses on accommodation gems we discover while on the road. This week: Chaw-Ka-Cher Tropicana Lanta Resort, Ko Lanta Island, Thailand.

A Thai cooking class by the beach? We didn’t have to think about it twice and booked our cooking class with Time For Lime on Koh Lanta – find out which dishes we learned to make and the reason behind why we chose this school!

I returned to Chiang Mai last week, the city in Northern Thailand that I called home for nearly three months in 2011/12. My return involved elephants, vegetarian paradise, and lots of temples!
