Visiting Hallstatt in Austria, 2018

It was finally time for the Beach, Pool and Wedding Weekend in Hua Hin. After all, that was one of the main reasons I am traveling around in Southeast Asia. Hua Hin is a seaside resort on the Gulf of Thailand south of Bangkok. Apparently…

Temples in Ayutthaya – What WAT to watch?

Temples in Ayutthaya – What WAT to watch?

First of all, how do you like my title for this post? I had to do something witty as there was no other way to describe all the temples in Ayutthaya. The word WAT is actually used in Southeast Asia for a Buddhist monastery or…

Chillin’ on Koh Chang Island

Chillin’ on Koh Chang Island

After my amazing few days on Coconut Beach in Cambodia, I was ready for another island and so I found myself chillin’ on Koh Chang Island. Back in Thailand – remember my trip to Bangkok – there are certainly a few islands to choose from.…
