We visited the Puan village- Ban Dong Krathong Yam in interior Thailand. It was a peaceful village with a stunning temple and a large community hall. The people were hospitable and hosted us for sumptuous lunch. They also put on an excellent cultural show for us with the ASEAN theme. However the activity that provided…
The Pub Street and the Night Market, Siem Reap, Cambodia
After the glittering dance performance (about which you can read here) at Siem Reap we were dropped back to our hotel, Sokha Angkor Resort which is a mighty fine hotel. It was surely not beyond 9.00 pm. We had just one night at Siem Reap so we wanted to cram in as much as we…
Scintillating Dances from Siem Reap, Cambodia
I spent just one night and two days in Cambodia but what an everlasting impact it left. As part of the ASEAN Media Trip we were hosted for dinner by the Cambodian Ministry of Tourism at Royal Angkor Resort. Along with the dinner, they also hosted a scintillating dance show for us. The scene was…
Royal Hills Golf Resort, Nakhon Nayok, Thailand
I am not a morning person at all. I used to be at one point. But then I gave up on it completely. Weekends mean getting late up late and that is the biggest incentive for me, other than drinking many cups of tea. But after I started enjoying photography I read about the golden…
Rong Kluea Market, Aranyaprathet- Where You Can Buy Pink Eggs and Much More
Aranyaprathet is one of the Thailand-Cambodian Borders. The next day we were headed to Cambodia by road after crossing the border. When I got down at Aranyaprathet’s Ban Khlong Luek Border Market (also known as Rong Kluea) I had just woken up from a nap in the van. For the while I looked at the place with bleary…
Street Game at Border Market, Aranyaprathet, Thailand
Do you remember my note to self before I headed to Thailand and Cambodia? It is time to put point No. 3 (more videos) in action. I spotted the youth playing a kind of shuttle game with all parts of their body, only the use of hands was barred. I was not sure how would they…
The Fish Pedicure at the Pub Street, Siem Reap, Cambodia
I am not much of a spa or pedicure, manicure person. I have never had a facial in my life till date. Thailand and Cambodia are full of massage parlors but I was not really looking for a massage. I have been to a few spas in the course of my travels but I really…
Dress Code for Women in Cambodia
I usually search for the dress code when I am about to visit a new country. Being from India I cannot go really wrong as we are conservative in our dressing sense. But the advice I see often is done without any photos. I have now made it a habit to do a post on…
Taling Chan Floating Market, Bangkok
I did not know what to expect when I was walking towards the Taling Chan Floating market in Bangkok. I was still very tired. I had taken a class till 1.30 pm the previous day. Then I took a flight at 11.30 pm the same day from IGI Delhi. As usual in the flight I…
The Local temple at Ban Dong Krathong Yam
We visited the Ban Dong Krathong Yam Village as part of our media trip with Tourism Authority of Thailand. This village is a Puan village which still keeps its local culture. It is quite off the tourist map. You can take a detour or make a stop here if you are going to the Aranyaprathet…
