Exploring life's off-the-beaten-path options.
The world feels very slow after a gigantic lunch. When in Oaxaca, the situation gets worse since you have to deal with comatose symptoms after devouring crunchy tlayudas, thick mole sauces and big chunks of grilled tasajo. Your body struggles to digest the worst possible combination of grease, carbs and proteins. The best way to [...]
I am a hard core fan of Mayan ruins (just take a deep look at my site). When I visited the Riviera Maya, Chichen Itza and Tulum were two of the must see spots. Chichen Itza was just as I imagined it and much more (take a look at my posts here and here). But [...]
Quick. When you think of Chichen Itza, what comes to your mind? Maybe Mayan ruins. Maybe Mexico. Maybe the Yucatan Peninsula. Well, a lot of different thoughts can come to your mind. But, I am almost sure that when you thought about these famous ruins, an image from its most famous structure, El Castillo, came [...]
After a day filled with rice mills, boat rides and the spectacular Crystal Palace, we arrived almost at dawn at the place where we were going to spend the night, Ayutthaya. Ayutthaya was the second capital of the country and after more than 400 years of glory, the Burmese burned it in 1767. It was [...]
After taking a good look at the main structures, we went directly to the bicycle rentals. For less than two dollars you can rent a bicycle to wander around the ruins. A lot of people skip Sukhothai completely. The ones who make it, take a look at the main temple ruins and leave. But the [...]
Today, I want to show you more pictures of Wat Pra That Suton Mongkol Kiri. I think it is an interesting temple and it will be a shame to pass it up to post something more “interesting”. I searched hard in order to learn about this place. Because this is not one of the top [...]
On the morning of day 8, we left the Chiang Rai area and headed to Sukhothai, Thailand’s first capital. The trip took most of the day. Therefore, the day was spent mainly on the tour bus. However, we had some interesting stops during the day. The first stop of the day was in Phayao. This [...]
Filming Location: Chiang Mai Day 4 Scene 2 As I said in the previous post, there are two ways to get to the temple from the parking lot. You can take a tram or the stairs. I checked around and some sources said that the temple stairs have 309 steps. Because we wanted to experience [...]
Filming Location: Chiang Mai Day 4 Scene 1 After breakfast, we transferred to the airport for our flight to Chiang Mai. A short one hour air voyage deposited us at the heart of the “Rose of the North”. The interesting part about Thailand’s northern lands is that for many years they were ruled by the [...]
Filming Location: Bangkok Day 2 Scene 1 The second day in Bangkok was full of emotions and surprises. And what surprises!! We started the day by recharging our batteries through a delicious breakfast. We were basically jumping around with joy because after breakfast we were headed to Thailand’s Gran Palace (or Royal Palace). WOOOUHHH!!! We [...]
