Yesterday we checked out modern Kuala Lumpur, today we stepped back in time. Chinatown is on our doorstep here at the fabulous Back Home Kuala Lumpur just a short walk up the road, which is good. The heat, the traffic, the uneven pavements and the exhaust fumes don’t make walking much fun for the kids. Our …
Boy it’s hot in Kuala Lumpur! But somehow it’s quite a pleasant hot, the sun isn’t beating down on us as it does in a Queensland summer, the sky is mostly overcast here and it’s very easy to get around the city using shady covered walkways. This post is about visiting a Kuala Lumpur roller …
It’s been a very long two days, but we’re here, safe, comfortable and looking forward to a good night’s sleep. I’ve Learnt a Few Things. The rate at the Travelex counter at Gold Coast airport is negotiable. I wasn’t impressed with the offered rate so she gave me a better one. Which was OK. You have …
Angkor Wat in Cambodia, is one of THE things to see before you die. We’ve already been, which puts us in a pretty fortunate position. We spent just one week in Cambodia last time, we crossed the border from Saigon by boat, spent a couple of nights in Phnom Pen, caught the boat up to …
Air Asia had a fantastic flight sale on, we are going to Malaysia from The Gold Coast for just under $800 for all 4 of us. The flight sale was about to end, so we clicked the “buy” button. At that price we really couldn’t turn it down. We leave to travel the world in …
Was it the Ayutthaya Floating Market? This mock floating market just outside Ayuthaya, Thailand, was so remarkable, so odd, so strange yet delicious, that it needs its own little post, to keep it separate from the real world.This place was crazy, annoyingly, I can’t remember the name, but if you’re in Ayuthaya, Thailand, you’ll probably …
Ayuthaya (also spelled Ayutthaya or Ayudhya) was the second capital of old Siam (1360-1767) after Sukhothai. It’s got history on its side, but is it worth a visit during your trip to Thailand? What about those all important “things yo do?” We think it’s well worth a visit. Getting to Ayutthaya from Bangkok is easy …
The most expensive coffee in the world, coffee Kopi Luwak, starts with a Civet in Bali. These little civets are hard at work processing coffee beans to make Kopi Luwak. Looks like a tough job doesn’t it. I’d never heard of coffee kopi luwak until the day we accidentally visited a spice garden in Bali, much …
Some places in Bali have been ruined by their own tourist trade, we tested several locations during our time on Bali, but Ubud was lovely, a charming town in the relative cool of the mountains. Bali is an easy family travel destination with everything to offer the family on vacation, from resorts and water parks, to great …
Koh Samet (also spelled Ko Samet or Ko Samed), is maybe the easiest of the Thai Islands to access if you are visiting Bangkok, just 220 Km from the capital and 7km from the shore. It is very popular as a weekend destination with locals and is full of backpackers, independent travellers and package tour …
