Wednesday's Anchovies

This was our first time to reach Chom Bueng and we are very excited to explore this small humble town! Main purpose is still the famous Chom Bueng Marathon, which was highly recommended by a local we met at River Kwai International Marathon years ago! Out accommodation tonight made us even more excited and can’t wait to be there! So we took a minivan from Ratchaburi to Chom Bueng, the nice driver dropped us at the main road beside Chom Bueng University. So we walked into the university and collected the race kit for next day’s full marathon ;) After that, we contacted our guest house’s owner through “LINE” and being told to wait for the guest house’s driver at 7-eleven nearby. Met the driver and after around 15minutes, here we are! A farm village resort as our stay of the night :) We really don't know how to address this place using English, don't think they have a English name for it :P Oh yeah, we are the only foreigners there LOL. Resort's addre...

Ratchaburi, if you Google “things to do in Ratchaburi”, Damnoen Saduak Floating Market would always on top of the list. However, we did not have plan to visit to floating market this time, what we want is just a leisure tour around this humble city, and explore its uniqueness. We spent 2 nights at Ratchaburi, but not 2 consecutive days :P We spent the first night at Ratchaburi after landed at Thailand, spent second night at Chom Bueng and the third night at Ratchaburi again!  First night: From Bangkok, we hopped onto a minivan which brought us to Ratchaburi. Both of us are the only foreigners in the minivan, others in the minivan cannot speak and understand English well, but yet they are so nice and even try to search online to know our hotel location so that can direct us to drop at the right place. The minivan station at Bangkok. It was a beautiful evening :) Let's go to Ratchaburi. Minivan fare from Bangkok to Ratchaburi: 130Baht per pax. It w...

Sawadekap~~~ We are here at out second homeland, Thailand again!!!! Hehe, this time we came with 2 main missions. No. 1 is to join ChomBueng Marathon, come as a runner and back as a finisher :P No. 2 is to eat all street food LOL, even main meal like lunch and dinner also from the streets!!! Bangkok, is our transit point again LOL :P Initial plan was to take Komuter from Kuala Lumpur to Padang Besar, transit to another train to reach Hatyai, then another transit of train to reach Ratchaburi, Thailand. After that, travel back to Bangkok and fly back to Kuala Lumpur. What a perfect train trip, right? All our komuter tickets are ready but yet we cannot depart due to major flood at Southern Thailand which had interrupted the train service to Ratchaburi >.< Ended up we cancelled the komuter tickets and got a last minute ticket to fly from Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok. Hahaha, so here’s our 6d5n travel itinerary that covered few parts of Thailand LOL :P Day 1...

Hello Beijing!!! Hunt for local food is always one of the best part in a trip, so we are going to share about some good local food or snack that we tried throughout our trip in Beijing!  1. Qing Feng Steamed Stuffed Bun Shop (庆丰包子铺) Once we touched down at Beijing Capital International Airport, our first meal was at the airport. Early in the morning, we looked for some light and healthy breakfast after a long night flight. Steamed bun, red bean porridge, red date and marinated cloud ear fungus (black fungus). A healthy way to kick start our Beijing trip :) 2. KaoRouJi ( 烤肉季) We were recommended by a local when we loitered around ShiChaHai （什刹海）. This is a very famous and historical restaurant, for more details of the restaurant, can refer to HERE . One of the signature dish there, Mongolian roasted rib (蒙古式烤羊排)! Strongly recommended! The rib was well-cooked, soft yet juicy, while the Mongolian style sauce gives a special taste for the rib, well combinat...
