As you could tell from my previous post about 5 things to do in Bangkok, having mango in a variety of forms was one of the greatest pleasures I had during my trip to Thailand. I loved the scrumptious experiences so much that I’ve decided to share with you the mango stores I visited in Thailand! Discover with me the best places for mango smoothies and mango sticky rice in Bangkok, Ayutthaya and Phuket. Bangkok: Mango Tango Mango Tango is apparently a go-to place and a hot spot in Bangkok for everyone who loves to try mango drinks and desserts. There are 2 branches in Bangkok, one in Siam Square and the other one in Asiatique. Mango Tango offers a truly wide range of mango dishes, meaning you might want to revisit the store multiple times like I did… I went there twice with 1~2 friends, and got to try different…
Bangkok has so, so many things to offer for travellers, among which I would like to share 5 things to do in Bangkok that I think you shouldn’t miss! Check out what they are below and let me know if you’ve nodded your head in agreement about them. ๐ #1 To Do in Bangkok: Mango, mango and more mango! First and foremost, I can barely tell you anything about my Thailand trip without mentioning mango fruits. (And I even ended up making a separate post to share the 3 best mango places I’ve visited in Thailand..) I lost count of the number of times I had mango in different forms! The type of mango-based food or drink I had varied from mango juices, mango smoothies, mango sticky rice (Khao Niao Mamuang) to mango with milk and sago! As Bangkok was hot and humid, every time I had mango food or drink…
This post talks about my day trip to Jumunjin, Gangwon-do Province in South Korea to reenact a scene from my all-time favourite K-drama Goblin (or Guardian). If you’re a big fan of Goblin, you cannot miss this spot in Korea! Check out how I prepared to look like Ji Eun-tak and what kind of transport options are available. Reading my travelogue, you may find yourself ready to set off to Gangwon for a photoshoot like me. I guarantee it is great fun! The mega-hit K-Drama Goblin <Guardian: The Lonely and Great God> K-drama Goblin (‘Guardian: The Lonely and Great God’ for the official English title; ‘๋๊นจ๋น – ์ธ์ธํ๊ณ ์ฐฌ๋ํ็ฅ’ for the Korean equivalent) is definitely one of the most-watched dramas of recent years in Korea.

Halloween is only about a fortnight away.ย Both my travel companion and I normally didn’t really make a fuss about Halloween (and we still don’t). But we did have one wishful image about what to do at Halloween if we ever did something about it. It was to visit Transylvania… in costume! The idea of Halloween in Transylvania was originally my buddy’s cup of tea who is full of vivid imaginations. But his briefing on the idea easily convinced me, and yes we made that happen last year. The following post is how we executed the idea and where we visited. The time in Romania was part of our adventure to the central/eastern Europe, and it was indeed a highlight of the holiday. If you’ve wondered a unique time for Halloween or wanted to get some exciting inspiration for travel destinations, save this post on your radar! ๐ Before setting off…
The lovely memories inย Cornwall remain still, even though it has been many years ago since the summer holiday. As a big fan of the movie About Time, I wished to see the beautiful scenes in the movie in real life. As summer is approaching, recalling my best summer holiday I would like to show you some of the best destinations in Cornwall. St. Austell (Charlestown Harbour) The water is crystal clear at Charlestown Harbour, so clear that you cannot resist the temptation to dip your feet into the water. ๐ Charlestown Harbour is not very far from Tim’s family’s house in the movie About Time.ย You can actually stay at Porthpean House, as it is beloved for holidays and house parties. Portloe Tim and Mary’s wedding is one of the most memorable scenes in the movie because of the sudden downpour. That impressive scene was filmed here in Portloe, a small…
This time we are about to head for Windsor as a quick trip from London, since it is less than an hour away from London. Windsor has a lot to offer for visitors, and among many attractions I am going to share my visits to Windsor Castle and Legoland Windsor with some useful tips. Each attraction can take almost a whole day, so if you plan to visit both you will need to stay a night in Windsor. How to Go to Windsor from London There are two train stations where you can get off in Windsor: Windsor & Eton Central and Windsor & Eton Riverside. The train options from London take between 30 – 55 minutes, depending on which station you choose. 1.
