We asked our driver, Cha, if he could recommend a place to eat before we go to our second destination. He brought us to the historic River Kwai bridge. We looked at the restaurant right next to the bridge called The Floating Restaurant. The restaurant had a great view of the bridge. They had aContinue reading “Lunch at Keeree Tara Restaurant”

Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
Our second day in Thailand was devoted to a day of touring. , The first stop on our itinerary was Damnoen Saduak Floating Market which was 2 hours away.

Dinner with Sonia
The title of this post is dinner with Sonia because I don’t know the name of the restaurant she brought us too. Everything was written in Thai. It was definitely a place for the locals. We finished our massage at almost 11:00 pm. We were surprised that Sonia wanted to take us for late dinner.Continue reading “Dinner with Sonia”
Thai Massage @ Mr. Feet
Pain. Our feet were in so much pain from the first day of non-stop walking. We needed massage badly. Our friend Sonia who moved to Bangkok several years ago when she got married is now super fluent in the Thai language. She recommended Mr. Feet which was just across her office and very near theContinue reading “Thai Massage @ Mr. Feet”
FoodLoft @ Central Chidlom
After checking in our hotel we didn’t bother to unpack. We immediately went to the nearest mall to do some window shopping. We walked to nearby Central Chidlom department store. We weren’t successful with the shopping so we decided to eat instead. It was at least 6 hours since our last meal on the plane.Continue reading “FoodLoft @ Central Chidlom”
Courtyard by Marriott Hotel Bangkok
Last March as soon as classes ended and Rochelle was done with her motherly duties we quickly hopped on a plane and took our first summer vacation in Bangkok. The last time I was in Bangkok the new Suvarnabhumi Airport wasn’t open yet. I don’t remember the immigration line being this long. There were two immigrationContinue reading “Courtyard by Marriott Hotel Bangkok”
Dinner at 2nd’s, Comfort Food Revisited
Our group went to 2nd’s to meet up with some HS classmates for an impromptu reunion. We went there straight from Tagaytay that’s why we were late. It was probably due to our shopping spree at Mr. Moo’s. To find 2nd’s go to Cav Wine Shop and Cafe and it’s right across. This is theContinue reading “Dinner at 2nd’s, Comfort Food Revisited”
Nespresso Pixie
Meet my new passion, an espresso. I love coffee and I used to drink plain brewed coffee or a cafe Americano. But since my Saeco espresso machine finally died and I had to return it to Costco where I got a full refund after 6 years (don’t you just love their return policy) I’ve reliedContinue reading “Nespresso Pixie”
Small and Amazing Homes
It’s been a while since I posted videos about homes but I saw these videos recently and was so impressed and amazed. This apartment measures 24 square meters or 258 square feet. Hopefully these will inspire the condo owners in Manila. You think your place is small? Look at this apartment that measures only 90 squareContinue reading “Small and Amazing Homes”
Chef Philippe Breads
I love bread. All kinds of bread – soft, crusty, flaky, plain or filled, sweet or savory. I probably love bread more than rice. Gasp! As much as I love bread I limit myself to the occasional wheat bread only. Bread is carbs and I don’t have much control when confronted with good bread. OneContinue reading “Chef Philippe Breads”
