Roadtrip at night to Vung Tau
I took a “red-eye” ride – roadtrip at night, from HCM city to explore Vung Tau at dawn and somethings interesting came up. Here is some facts: 1) How clean it is! The first trial offered an exciting experience. I started the journey at 8PM, when the city was still very busy. However, 20 kilometers away from the center, on the highway, the traffic was not as dense as it’s on the day. There’s no sunlight, no harmful fume and dust, even annoying people (if any), just you, your motorbike and the night landscape. It’s no need to wear mask like we usually do when moving around the city. Everything is…

Hua Hin Travel Guide
How to get in and around Hua Hin? What to eat and Where to go… My travel guide to Hua Hin will find out the best experience! My friend, who usually visits Thailand as a hardcore-budget traveler, suggested me join his journey to Hua Hin, as he introduced “Thai King’s resort”. I and (maybe) many ones, have never considered the town as a must-go destination among Pattaya, Phuket, Krabi,… But my experience proves that you’ll hardly find anything new in old places. Get in He recommended me experience Thai train, which he said “very cheap”. Cheap is not always a comfortable option, you have to keep the mindset if you…

Condao Hostel Review: Uyen’s house dorm & bed
If you are looking for a Con Dao hostel in budget style, I recommend Uyen’s house for its very relaxing and romantic experience. As the only one hostel in the island, I loved its wooden style at the first sight. There’s a mid-size signboard “Uyen’s house – Bed & Room” at front with some bird-house-like props on. The house looks like a garden in a-style-of-no-style, various plants, put in various places, along with some art installation. The typical materials are woods, glass and metal mainframe. There are many plants in both exterior and interior details. A rolling bench is put at front, with a table made from a timber block, a wooden ashtray on, watching…

Solo travel is not for you if…
You think you’re born to solo travel? I don’t think so! Here are the reasons You’re always busy It sounds not right but solo travel demands a greater time to prepare before trip. You have to read alot, about the destinations, what’s cool, what food you should try, how to travel from A to B, where you should live,… to build up a Itinerary, so that you make sure there’s no time to be wasted when you’re there. The budget travel is requiring much heavier work loads, you have to compare prices among many booking platforms (some of budget flight will conflict so you’re rearranging), read deep to know where…

Con Dao travel story – the prologue
The prologue of my Con Dao travel story covers how I manage to get onboard a ship at budget price and first glance of the beautiful Con Dao Getting onboard I had few days off and a plan for Con Dao. There are 2 options to get to the island: flight or boat. Airline is not a budget choice, there’s no cheap ticket at all, so it must be getting on a boat for more reasonable price. When I got to Vung Tau, I thought that the port routing to Con Dao and HCMC was the same. I was wrong. They are two places independently, and 10 kilometer away from each…

My friend heard of the conversation and with an intentional mind, he suggested the girl share ride. So that’s why we had a chance to visit King’s…

There are two Doi (mountain) nearby Chiang Mai, which is ideal for people loving trekking or nature-oriental mind. They are Doi Inthanon and Doi Suthep.
