Asia

This week’s Polaroid features Wat Chedi Luang, one of the oldest and most impressive temples of Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand.

As we are leaving South East Asia, we are thinking of all the things we’ll miss – one of them being the daily alms giving ceremony that we witnessed in many places.

Buddhism is widely spread throughout Laos and you can see monks in their draping saffron robes everywhere in the country – even cycling through the fields…

One afternoon this week we set off with a big bottle of water and two mountain bikes to conquer caves and rumored waterfalls outside of Nong Khiew, a tiny town which spans either side of the wide Nam Ou river in Northern Laos. The day didn’t exactly go as planned, but it was perfect…

We saw many jaw-dropping sunsets in Laos, and this was our favorite one: from top of a hill in Luang Prabang, where the sun sets over the Mekong River.

After 6 months, we finally found a tropical island in South East Asia that boasts the serene,white-sand beaches we have been dreaming about on Koh Rong, Cambodia – but we had to work to get there!

After over six months in South East Asia, we finally made it to Angkor Wat last week. Find out what impressed us the most here at the world’s biggest religious site.

I spent five days in Hong Kong and the city swept me off my feet! I am already about my return trip in a few months – Hong Kong is an absolutely mesmerizing city!

A dream came true for me last week: I was able to see elephants in the wild on an elephant safari in Sri Lanka! My time in the country is off to an excellent start!

On a quiet evening stroll, we cut through the peaceful backstreets of Chinatown, under delicate Chinese lanterns strung across everything from major roads to narrow alleys.
