Budget Travelling Tips
I’ve been to Siem Reap before (2009), but only for a couple of days just to see the majestic Angkor Wat. This time around I went back to Siem Reap to stay for three weeks. And what a huge difference it makes when you stay longer in one place. Here are some things that I [...]
We took a bus from Chiang Mai to Bangkok for 280 baht per person. Various travel agencies have different pricing for this route so I suggest thart you ask around first before you purchase your ticket. The bus ride from Chiang Mai to Bangkok took around 10-12 hours (depending on the number of stops). We [...]
Chiang Mai is a nice laidback and liveable city for me. And it seemed to be the perfect place as well to start building some of the domains that I bought. I couldn’t explain how excited I was. Maybe because all of these stuff were new to me. Honestly, I have no clue yet on [...]
There’re so many markets to go to in Chiang Mai. The most popular would probably be the Saturday and Sunday Market and daily night market near Panthip plaza. There’re even more markets when you go outside the Old City and most tourists that don’t go here to trek, usually go to Chiang Mai to shop. [...]
I’ve been to Chiang Mai on my last backpacking trip but never had a chance to explore the city because I just stayed in Wat Ram Poeng to learn meditation. This time around we were planning to volunteer in Chiang Rai but as you know, travel plans always change and ended up in Chiang Mai. [...]

For a budget traveller like me, it has become a habit to check prices before I buy food or drinks anywhere I go. Now that I became a blogger, I also make it to a point to document some of them so you’ll have an idea on what to look for when it comes to [...]
This is by far the cheapest buffet that I have ever been in my life. Although unlike most buffets, this one won’t allow you to refill your plate unless you pay again. The vegetarian buffet in Luang Prabang, Laos is a must try for all travellers. For only, 10,000 Kip ($1.25 as of the time [...]
Most travel agencies could arrange for a bus ticket for you from Luang Prabang, Laos to Chiang Rai or Chiang Mai, Thailand although I would recommend that you just buy your tickets as you go along so you could save some money. Express bus tickets cost 180,000 to 200,000 depending on which travel agency you [...]
Luang Prabang, Laos is dotted with Buddhist temples or Wats (or Vats) especially the Old Town area. The combination of Wats and French colonial buildings and it’s harmonious relationship with the natural environment that surrounds the city made Luang Prabang a UNESCO World Heritage site. Here are some of the Wats that I’ve seen in [...]
