Bangkok: Itinerary and Budget

Hey beloved wanderlusters,

Never have I thought to be able to countdown 2020 in another country. It's so last minute. All bookings were done at such a peak season so it's not the best price but we had to do it on a tight budget as we aren't supposed to go for any more trips after Turkey. This is because our new home is completing real soon. The rapid progress is way ahead of time.

This is hubby's first time to Bangkok but certainly not my first so I strive to be a good tour guide for him. This entire trip is supposedly free and easy so the itinerary below is only a guideline.

Road trip to Danok

Hey readers!

Yay, it's been ages since we had a roadtrip across the border to Thailand. For foreign readers, it's like a roadtrip from the states to Mexico. But I didn't just go there to have some fun and a dose of Vitamin D since I'm an indoor person. I had a mission on my mind.

Bright sunny Saturday.

Koh Lipe: Day 3 & 4

Good morning lovelies!

 

It's Day 3 at Koh Lipe which was the final full day we have. Day 2 was a blast and the snorkeling session was just a warm up. I would normally combine second last day and last day together coz there's nothing much on the last day but traveling home. I attached my video clip again at the end of this entry for you to enjoy. My heart was reluctant to get out of paradise.

Koh Lipe: Day 2

Good morning, paradise!

It is now day 2 and we are ready for island hopping. But first let's have a hearty breakfast. We had a nice sleep on last night because the night was so cold. Tonight is different because I suffered till I had to wake up. I had a severe sunburn till my whole body was heaty and felt like my skin was burning. I did apply lots of sunscreen with SPF50 but idk it did not work.Check out my entry on Day 1 for more information about our journey.

While waiting for breakfast, you can relax at the beautiful well maintained garden. Be sure to check out Mali Resort coz this is the best resort for me after visiting other resorts around the island. There are other 5 star resorts in this island that offers even more spacious suites and facilities but they are too pricey compared to Mali.

Koh Lipe: Day 1

Hello summer!

After a long trip to Japan last year on September 2013, I have been staying at home ever since. Then hubby decided to bring me to Koh Lipe, the Maldives of Thailand (a.k.a. Dog Island...I'll explain later) on May this year! I was so stoked.

Of relaxing in the summer sun, just letting off steam. Oh, the sky will be blue, and you guys will be there too. When I finally do what frozen things do in summer!

Phuket & Krabi with Superstar Libra: Day 3 & 4

Good morning again. It's day 3 of our cruise trip.

I will blog about day 3 and 4 together because the last day is not much but just wake up, sunrise, breakfast, go to lounge to collect passport then landed back in Penang.

Before I proceed, I would like to announce that we received this invitation to dine with the captain on our doorstep last night. Cool or what! We were so excited to get to dine with the captain as well as his staffs after our Krabi tour.

Phuket & Krabi with Superstar Libra: Day 2

Rise and shine! It's day 2 of our trip!

We woke up around 7am then went for buffet breakfast at Mariners restaurant. Love the view of sunrise and the ocean while having the most important meal of the day. You can check out the fun and dance we had in Day 1.

Breakfast with ocean view.

Phuket & Krabi with Superstar Libra: Day 1

Hey readers!

I have just finished editing my Korea trip photos but I will share about that trip later. First I would like to share my pending trips. Let's start with past 3 years holidays which require a passport. It would take a long time to blog if I were to blog about my earlier trips to KL, Ipoh, Langkawi, Melaka, Fraser's Hill, Bukit Tinggi, Cameron Highlands, Genting Highlands....and the list goes on.

Star cruise Libra has been on Penang shore since the beginning of 2011 so my boyfriend (now husband) decided to experience the ride. We love cruises and this is the third time we sailed after Pisces in 2010. We bought the package in Matta Fair randomly from Hwajing Travel & Tours. The package of only RM800+ per pax  includes 4 days 3 nights stay in a stateroom, fuel surcharge and insurance. For on land tour, you may choose free and easy or simply buy 1 day tour from the cruise lobby like we do. Regret that we did not choose to tour James Bond island when we landed on Krabi.
