A row of Songthaew outside the train station at Hat Yai, Thailand. Songthaew are pick-up trucks with two benches in the back. They are used as buses or taxis in towns across Thailand.
The Little Mermaid in Copenhagen often ranks as one of the most most disappointing attractions in Europe. I don’t know about that. Afterall you are forewarned that it’s going to be little.
If you were one of those people who felt let down by the Little Mermaid then maybe you should come to Thailand. In Songkha, [...]
Penang is well known for being a foodies paradise, and it is one of those destinations where people go just to eat. If you don’t know your Hokkien Mee from your Wan Tan Mee (that would be me), there is a great brochure that lists the most popular dishes of the Island. It gives a [...]

Once again I have been lured by an AirAsia sale and find myself in Kuala Lumpur. I didn’t intend to book a flight when I checked the AirAsia page, I was just checking if there was anything new on the site. Next thing you know the flashing $149 AUD one way sale banner was hypnotizing [...]
