Think you know Indonesia? I did. Yes, of course I’ve been to Bali, hasn’t everyone? But Indonesian travel goes well beyond the Balinese dream vacation, as I recently found out. And what better introduction to ‘off the beaten path’ Indonesia than a trip to Sulawesi!? The name itself sounds exotic and full of promise, and […]
10 Reasons to Stay at AoNang Cliff Beach Resort
Krabi province is no stranger to the revolving door of year round visitors, and they arrive in mass by land, sea and air. But for first time visitors (like me), the Krabi expanse may not be as simple to negotiate for some as for others. Having, at the very least, an accommodation to initially head […]

Another gorgeous island bites the ‘sand’ so to speak. But for those of us arriving to Koh Lipe that day, I’m certain I wasn’t the […]
Hat Yai’s Magic Eye 3D Museum
I’ve never been impressed by the idea of a 3D anything, except maybe those funky virtual roller coaster rides and these days 3D animation can certainly be a mind blow if done properly. But the idea of a museum? Ok, it does look fun in a sophmoric way, but nothing I’d take too seriously until […]
