Photos and Observations, The Grand Palace, Bangkok

Elle-Rose — Fri, 17 May 2013 04:05:23 +0000

Whilst our day out to The Grand Palace was undoubtedly the most hot and bothered I’ve ever been (seriously…. just look at the clothing regulations, and then consider wearing that in 38 degree heat and humidity) it’s also one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. I love temples, and as a photographer it’s [...]

Restrictions, Rules and Dress Codes at The Grand Palace, Bangkok

Elle-Rose — Thu, 16 May 2013 15:11:12 +0000

When visiting he Grand Palace in Bangkok, the number one thing we were looking for information on beforehand – were the official rules, regulations and dress-codes. The Palace is quite far across town from our hotel, so we didn’t want to turn up wearing the wrong thing, and then be turned away on the door. [...]

Let’s talk about Patong, Phuket.

Elle-Rose — Mon, 13 May 2013 15:48:32 +0000

I’ll admit, when I booked our time in Thailand for this RTW trip – I did it a little blindly. I don’t know a whole lot about Thailand – having never really travelled here properly before (I did do a few family holidays here when I was little though) and Pad has never been either so [...]

Day Trip: Angthong National Park, Koh Samui

Elle-Rose — Fri, 10 May 2013 08:40:42 +0000

Angthong National Park was one of the things I wanted to do in Thailand from the moment we decided we were going to stop off there on our RTW trip. I’d heard all sorts of great reviews about the place, both online and from friends too – who’d been in the past – speaking of [...]

A Little Bit of Luxury: Review of Traders Hotel, Kuala Lumpur

Elle-Rose — Thu, 09 May 2013 15:36:02 +0000

For our two nights in Kuala Lumpur, we wanted to book something with an incredible view of the Petronas Towers, and something that was a bit of a treat. We were only going to be there a couple of nights, so wanted to make the most of it by stopping somewhere close to the towers [...]

My “Tourist” Photos From Singapore

Elle-Rose — Thu, 09 May 2013 02:47:13 +0000

I like being a tourist – and when you’re in a huge city like Singapore (with so much to do and see) you end up taking a few touristy snaps just like everyone else. I like these kinds of photos though, they are the kind I’ll frame when I get home. Here are a few [...]

The Wanderlust Hotel Singapore – Review

Elle-Rose — Tue, 07 May 2013 11:09:20 +0000

We were asked by the Wanderlust Hotel to come and stay a night with them whilst we were in Singapore – to review the hotel and let people know what we thought of the place. Well, let’s start by saying – this isn’t exactly your average hotel. This is like a hotel out of someone wildest dreams. [...]

Singapore Zoo – Worth the Hype?

Elle-Rose — Tue, 07 May 2013 02:45:57 +0000

In a word – Yes. It definitely is. I’ve been to the zoo on previous visits to Singapore – when I was little and loved it. But on this trip with Pad I hadn’t really ear-marked time for it – because we’d already been to plenty of zoos in Oz and NZ, and really, one [...]

Hawker Food in Singapore – Reason Enough to Visit.

Elle-Rose — Mon, 06 May 2013 09:32:38 +0000

I’m not implying by the title of this blog post that it’s the only reason – but it sure could justify a trip to Singapore – if you were looking for one (you’re welcome). The food here is awesome – and after arriving from the terribly (mind-blowingly) expensive Australia, food here is delicious and cheaper [...]
