Phi Phi Horror Story: Longtail tour of Maya Bay, Phi Phi Le

May 16, 2016 by SuitcasesandLattes 6 Comments

Don’t you love that connected feeling you can get to people you hardly know? That feeling of oneness, of having something in common with people despite your nationality, religion, gender or race. That common thread I speak of is cheapness. And the cheap-ass Tripadvisor community has often steered me in the right direction when it … [Read more…]

Phang Nga Bay Tour, Phuket (James Bond Island Tour)

October 23, 2015 by SuitcasesandLattes 2 Comments

Tripadvisor is definitely your friend when planning a vacay. However, more often than not, the amount of information can be a little overwhelming though. One of the things I wanted to do while in Phuket was to take a cruise around the picturesque Phang Nga Bay. I know many people go to Phang Nga Bay … [Read more…]

Phi Phi Erawan and the beautiful Laemtong, Phi Phi Island

August 18, 2015 by SuitcasesandLattes 2 Comments

Phi Phi Island Most people refer to the beautiful Phi Phi Islands as one place – when in fact, various islands make up the area. Phi Phi Don is the largest island and is the only one that has accommodation (apart from a few tents on Phi Phi Le). As explained in a previous post, … [Read more…]

How to get from Phuket to Phi Phi Island

August 11, 2015 by SuitcasesandLattes 3 Comments

After returning from vacation, the things you worried about before your trip can seem so silly. I didn’t pre-book any tours at all as I knew (via Tripadvisor) that it was much cheaper to book while you are in Phuket. There was one tour I made sure I booked beforehand though. We were booked to stay … [Read more…]

Holiday Inn Express Patong, Phuket – Review

July 17, 2015 by SuitcasesandLattes 5 Comments

Searching online for accommodation in Phuket is overwhelming! After chatting to a few people I decided I wanted to be in the heart of the action – Patong. The Patong beach area is the touristy centre of Phuket. It has the (busy) beach, the shopping and the infamous nightlife in and around Bangla Road. I’m … [Read more…]

Bangkok: Grand Palace, Reclining Buddha & Temple of Dawn

July 1, 2015 by SuitcasesandLattes 4 Comments

You cannot go to Bangkok and not see the Grand Palace! It is crazily busy and hot but that’s no excuse to miss out on seeing the cultural heart of the city. Best of all, a lot of the must-see temples are fairly close to one another. There are a few things to keep in … [Read more…]

Bangkok accommodation hotel review: The Mercure, Siam

June 24, 2015 by SuitcasesandLattes Leave a Comment

I had this song by Toya Delazy playing in my head most of the time I was in Bangkok: Bangkok isn’t technically “my city” but I loved it anyway. I can’t put my finger on what exactly – maybe it was the buzz, the heat, the food, the shopping, the lifestyle, the numerous massages. I’m … [Read more…]

How to get from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport to Siam using the Airport Rail Link

June 17, 2015 by SuitcasesandLattes 10 Comments

Not booking a package tour means you’re (a) are most likely cheap and (b) need to hustle. One of the likely tourist traps you will fall into is having to get from the airport to the place you’re staying. When it’s your first time in a foreign city, it can feel rather intimidating as you … [Read more…]
