Chiang Mai Tour: Maetang Elephant Camp

November 3, 2013 by SuitcasesandLattes Leave a Comment

Okay, Elephant Camps in Thailand require a back story as I am no fan of animals in captivity. Elephants were used in the “logging ” industry in Thailand to move (as the name suggests) huge logs. They were notoriously ill-treated. Eventually, this market collapsed and the state outlawed the practice of using elephants for logging. … [Read more…]

Cultural Chiang Mai and The Centara Duangtawan Hotel

November 3, 2013 by SuitcasesandLattes 1 Comment

Chiang Mai is often referred to as the cultural capital of Thailand. It was actually the old capital of Siam way back when. It is in northern Thailand so the climate is slightly cooler than Bangkok and everything appears more….well… old. After a very short flight from Bangkok (save your time and skip the train), … [Read more…]

Bangkok: Chatuchak (JJ) Market

November 3, 2013 by SuitcasesandLattes Leave a Comment

I would highly recommend checking out the JJ Market (a huge, weekend market) if you’re in Bangkok. It’s the place that you REALLY feel the buzz of Bangkok.  Trust me, there is more activity at the JJ market than I could ever begin to explain. After a couple of long days of touring, we decided … [Read more…]

Bangkok: Grand Palace Tour

November 3, 2013 by SuitcasesandLattes 1 Comment

Silly us! We didn’t book the No.1 must see tour in Bangkok! After extensive research,  I realized that there is no way we could leave Bangkok without visiting the Grand Palace. Me, being the cheapskate I am, refused to take a taxi to the Grand Palace. I was adamant that I wanted to mission there … [Read more…]

My sister-in-law visited Bangkok a few years back and loved the Floating Market and Rose Garden. So, for our first day in this vibrant city, we made sure we booked a full day tour.

Buzzing Bangkok & The Pathumwan Princess hotel

November 3, 2013 by SuitcasesandLattes 5 Comments

Ever been to a new place and felt like you want to stay there forever? That’s exactly how I felt about Bangkok. Everything about Bangkok was in juxtaposition to the laid back, chilled Cape Town, that I’m used to. We arrived late on a Friday evening. Once exiting the huge airport, a gush of sticky … [Read more…]
