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…]

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…]

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…]

Koh Samui: The Impiana Resort Chaweng Noi- Hotel Review

July 15, 2014 by SuitcasesandLattes 1 Comment

I can never be accused of not doing my research. Choosing the hotel we wanted to stay at on Koh Samui literally took months. We had high expectations and not the biggest budget. We wanted a hotel on the beach, close to the main area of Chaweng but far enough to feel secluded and away … [Read more…]

The LIT Hotel, Bangkok- Hotel Review

June 27, 2014 by SuitcasesandLattes 1 Comment

The LIT, Bangkok, is a 4-star boutique hotel in the Siam/ National stadium area. We chose the hotel due to its location which is very near to the BTS train station and near to the MBK shopping centre. I was also intrigued by the idea of a design boutique hotel. We had previously stayed at … [Read more…]

Phuket: The Burasari Hotel

November 13, 2013 by SuitcasesandLattes 4 Comments

After a 1 hr 45 min flight from Chiang Mai on Air Asia (decent flight, terrible coffee), we safely arrived in Phuket. The views flying over Phuket were beautiful – blue skies, clear blue seas and picturesque limestone “islands” all over. We felt like this would be the island holiday we had always dreamed of. … [Read more…]
