Thavorn Palm Beach Resort: Phuket, Thailand
For the last two nights we spent on Phuket, we had the pleasure of relaxing and exploring Karon Beach and the Thavorn Palm Beach Resort. As their slogan says, “nature”, we were surely transported from the Karon beach town to a jungle serenity. Our stay at The Thavorn Palm Beach Resort Phuket on Karon Beach was just as the founding family of the Thavorn...

Coffee Talk @ Thavorn Palm Beach Resort: Phuket, Thailand
Coffee Talk is one of the restaurants at Thavorn Palm Beach Resort. It is a quaint coffee shop with some really cool decor. It truly made us feel like we were back in New York. I couldn’t resist the Matcha latte! It was creamy, flavorful and a perfect pick me up, packed with caffeine. We also tried the Thai Tea, iced with tea ice...

Stacked Restaurant: Koh Samui, Thailand
Stacked Restaurant on Koh Samui was recently opened and specializes in burgers. When you walk in, you could mistake yourself being in New York or San Diego by the decor and atmosphere of the place. With a huge surfboard table in the middle an retro bar scene, this is a cool place for drinks and great food. We both enjoyed specialty cocktails created by...

Falling in Love with Koh Tao (and Rafa)
After a majorly delayed night train and a ferry ride from chumphon, we finally arrived to Koh Tao. The night trains had been great for us up until this point. This time we were in first class and that’s really the only way to do it! For some reason there was a three hour delay as we stood still about 1 hour outside...

Third Time to the Bangkok Hub
After another eventful night train, this time first class, from Chiang Mai to Bangkok, we had 12 hours until we were on our last night train down to the islands. We arrived on a Sunday and decided to visit the weekend market, also called Jatachak market. We really didn’t realize, until we got there, how massive this market really is. We wondered around for a...

Off the Beaten Path: An Unforgettable Birthday in Siem Reap, Cambodia
The day started out with a Happy Birthday FaceTime call from Jess’s family back home. I told them about the day that Steven had planned for me and we were so excited. About 20 minutes later, there was a knock on the door; our breakfast was here! We enjoyed breakfast in bed (included with our room) at The Sarai Resort and Spa; it was...

nOmPANG! for Lunch in Phnom Penh, Cambodia
After much research about where to go for lunch, Steven, Gillian, Gavin and I decided to try a place called nOmPANG! We showed Sony, our tuk tuk driver, where to go on a map and we were on our way. We had chosen this place because it had some good reviews online and had been written up by a few other travelers. We just...

The Kabiki: Phnom Penh, Cambodia
When we arrived in Phnom Penh it was pretty dark out and the staff from Giant Ibis helped us get a tuk tuk to The Kabiki. I’m pretty sure they overcharged us since the tuk tuks are only meant to cost $1-$3, but we were told $5 for this ride. We reluctantly agreed as it was getting late and we just wanted to get...
