If you’re looking for a quick escape from Bangkok, The Ancient City (Muang Boran) is such a fun option! It’s like taking a road trip around the whole of Thailand in just one day because they have miniature and life-sized versions of all the famous landmarks 🇹🇭✨ But here’s the thing—it’s way too big to explore by walking (trust me, it’s super sunny and very spacious 🥵). So the smart move is to rent a golf cart and just cruise around comfortably, saving both time and energy 🚙💨. Definitely a much more chill way to enjoy the place! It’s perfect for snapping beautiful photos 📸 and getting a taste of different Thai architectural styles without traveling all over the country. ✅ Great for: Half-day trip from Bangkok ✅ Pro tip: Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and don’t walk… rent that golf cart! 😂 #travelphotography #instagramworthydestinations #thailand🇹🇭 #photospot #thailand #thailandtrip #thailandtravel #theancientcity #samutprakan #samutprakanvibes #lifeisgood #enjoythemoment #shortescape #shortgetaway #weekendgetaway #weekendgetaways #asianwoman #asianwomantravels #photography #travelasia

We dropped by Life Museum early in the morning before heading back to Chiang Mai. It’s actually a coffee shop, not a museum 😆 and was just a short drive 5-10 min from where we stayed at Yamee Homestay. Unfortunately… coffee not available yet when we got there (too early, I guess 😂), so no coffee fix for us. But we hung around a bit to take some pictures because the spot itself is actually really scenic. The view is meant to be a breathtaking shot of two mountains 🌄🌄—but since it was crop burning season, everything was hazy and covered in air pollution 😷. A bit of a letdown, but we could still imagine how amazing it would look on a clear day! Would love to come back during a better season to properly enjoy the coffee and that view 🌿✨ 📸 Best for: Early morning light (but not too early 😂) #travelescape #weekendgetaways #lifeisgood #enjoythemoment #travelasia #asianwoman #asianwomantravels #cafehopping #cafehoppingchiangrai #chiangraicafe #chiangrai #chiangraitravel #chiangraitrip #chiangraigetaway #thailandtrip #thailandtravel #thailand #thailand🇹🇭 #instagramworthydestinations #travelphotography #photospot

I went to Bang Saen for the weekend, listing down all the places that I could capture the beautiful moments in photograph. And Bang Saen Toshin was on my list. 📸 Bang Saen Toshin really surprised me!

Perfect for those who love snapping aesthetic shots or just strolling around to soak up the vibe. There are plenty of food stalls too 🍜🍢 – from matcha drinks to takoyaki, all giving a little taste of Japan right here in Bang Saen! I had so much fun exploring the shops and enjoying the calm, cozy atmosphere 💕. If you’re looking for a chill, photogenic place that’s not too crowded, this is a perfect quick stop. Definitely a good spot to walk, eat, and take some cute photos! 🎏🍵📷 #travelphotography #travelasia #photography #instagramworthydestinations #lifeisgood #enjoythemoment #asianwoman #asianwomantravels #bangsaen #bangsaentoshin #bangsaenbeach #thailand #thailandtrip #thailandtravel #thailand🇹🇭 #shortescape #weekendgetaways #travelescape #shortgetaway

Stopped by Cassette Coffee Bar at Siam Square Soi 3 and totally loved the pink, retro feel! The cassette-themed decor is super cute and perfect for quick photo ops 📸 I had a cappuccino—smooth and rich, just how I like it. They’ve got other drinks and some light cakes too.

From popular items like Dentiste toothpaste to various snacks, there’s a wide range of options that make great shareable gifts. This time, I shopped at a convenience store called TERTEL, located inside train stations. These stores are found at BTS (Bangkok’s train system) stations, and their product lineup and layout are almost identical at every station, making them easy to navigate. Of course, there are also plenty of 7-Eleven stores everywhere, as well as Lawson stores, making shopping incredibly convenient.

The essence of Thai relaxation is found in the breeze, the clouds, and the passage of time. For Thai people, relaxation is ingrained in their DNA, embodied in the concept of "จังหวะ" (Jing Jai, meaning "take it slow"). Here, even time slows down, allowing you to fully take in the scenery and listen to the stories. No need for "travel anxiety"—Trip's private car service ensures you reach every destination effortlessly, soaking in the captivating charm along the way. 📍 Bangkok: The Grand Palace radiates royal splendor. In the alleyways, Tom Yum soup bubbles away, and the aroma of grilled pork skewers fills the air. 📍 Chiang Mai: At night, the coffee aroma lingers along Nimman Road. The Sunday Night Market dazzles with lights, and mango sticky rice melts sweetly in your heart. 📍 Phuket: The sea is a dreamlike shade of blue. Relax on the beach listening to the waves, or dive underwater to play with schools of fish—every moment is enchanting. 📍 Koh Samui: Coconut groves whisper secrets with the sea breeze. At Chaweng Beach, the sunset turns golden, and the sweet scent of grilled coconut milk bananas fills the air. 📍 Krabi: Cliffs covered in greenery rise majestically. Hidden caves in Phang Nga Bay await discovery, while kayaks glide across emerald waters, startling flocks of seagulls into flight. 😊 At 7-Eleven, cashiers hand over change with a crescent moon smile: "ขอบคุณค่ะ (Thank you)," their fingertips lightly touching as they offer a gentle wai. 🙏 Outside temple flower stalls, elderly women skillfully string jasmine into garlands, their fragrance wafting over tourists' wrists as they add, "บูชาก良緣 (Blessings for good fortune)." 😇 At night markets, vendors lift steaming pot lids, offering free samples of Thai milk tea before slowly quoting prices. Their speech always ends with "ครับ/ค่ะ" (polite suffixes), soft and unhurried like coconut milk. 🚗 Trip's private car service helps you weave relaxation into every journey.

Restaurant name: the local ari Transportation: Very close to the Airport Express Payatai Station, many local food nearby, 711 is very close, and very close to Centralworld in the city center. It's a bit far from the old town attractions, but the motorcycle taxi is OK Advantages: The design taste is very good, each room has its own style and design, there is a public lounge area similar to a villa, and there is a rooftop terrace with a great view, which is clean and tidy. In a sparsely populated and very local alley community. There is a hotel restaurant downstairs. My favorite point: the first floor door opens with a password, and the room door has a traditional lock and key, which is safe and convenient. The motorcycles in the alley are quite noisy in the morning. The mattress is moderately firm (I like soft) Note: Check-in 15:00; Check-out 11:00 No toiletries, please bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste. You are not allowed to smoke or eat durian in the room. The Local Ari

A devastating magnitude-7.9 earthquake struck in central Myanmar on 28th March 2025, affecting many surrounding areas including Chiang Mai, Bangkok, Chiang Rai and other places. Traveler who are travelling to, or are currently in the affected areas, need to exercise caution and monitor development through local media and authorities. Here we provide the essential emergency contact numbers and safety tips to follow after a powerful earthquake: 1. (1) Thailand Airport Resumes Normal Operations✈️ The Airports of Thailand Public Company Limited (AOT) announced on 28th March, 2025 that following comprehensive safety inspections after the earthquake, six airports under its administration in locations including Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket have resumed normal operations at 14:30 local time on the same day.

Essential Emergency Contact Numbers: ☎️ General emergencies: 191 Medical emergencies: 1669 The Tourist Police number: 1155 3. Safety Tips to Follow After an Earthquake:❗️ (1) Key Earthquake-Prone Areas Northern Thailand (Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai) and western regions (near the Myanmar border) experience relatively frequent seismic activity. Familiarize yourself with emergency exits at your accommodation in advance. (2) Indoor Safety Guidelines a. Triangle of Life Zones Priority choice: Crouch in corners near load-bearing walls or beside sturdy furniture (solid wood tables, beds) using the "Drop, Cover, and Hold On" posture. Avoid: Areas near windows, under hanging lights, unsecured cabinets, or elevators. b. Special Locations High-rise buildings: Do not jump from windows; stay away from exterior walls and protect yourself from falling debris. Traditional wooden houses: Evacuate quickly to open spaces (wooden structures may collapse but cause less injury). (3) Outdoor Survival Strategies a. Urban Areas (1) Protect your head and stay away from billboards, utility poles, brick walls, and vending machines. If in a vehicle: Pull over immediately and remain inside (avoid bridges/tunnels). (2) Don't take the elevator to hide: After an earthquake, there will be a power outage immediately, and once there is a power outage, you will be stuck in the elevator and unable to get out.

I visited James Bond Island as part of a tour from Phuket Island, and it was a great experience! The limestone cliffs and were beautiful, and seeing the famous rock from the movie was exciting.
