The historic city of Ayutthaya

The fact that we’ve been in Bangkok three times and until now we haven’t found time to go to this historic city must mean something … Well it did, and I ended up visiting it on my own 🙂 After months (especially the last few in Asia) spent visiting monasteries, palaces and temples day after […]

Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel, our food experience

We had just arrived in Bangkok and we were kindly invited to have lunch at Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel, one of the most emblematic hotels in the city. Monica, the hotel’s Director of International Public Relations, reserved a table for us at the well known Thai restaurant Spice Market, which serves delicious and sophisticated Thai […]

Koh Tao island, few days in paradise

After being in Siem Reap for a few days visiting the ruins of Angkor Wat in Cambodia, along with the additional surprise of bumping into Christopher (an old school friend of mine from Tenerife) who had just started working in the city, we headed to Bangkok, to catch a train from there to the island […]

How to get to Koh Tao from Bangkok

Our return tickets from Bangkok to Koh Tao were booked with a travel agency. We left Hua Lamphong train station in Bangkok at 6:30pm. I don’t know how, but we booked seats without air conditioning, so we really felt the heat (and that was just at 25 degrees …). Anyway we survived and slept peacefully […]

After the sunrise, the big circuit at Angkor Wat…

When you buy the three-day ticket (if time permits that’s the best way to go) you can do what we did: visit the ruins of Angkor Wat at dawn and then go to other temples that probably won’t be so full of people, as everyone will be in the main one at that time of […]

Our food experience at Kasen Restaurant – Elegant Angkor Resort & Spa

One of the places we enjoyed a lot during our stay at Elegant Angkor Resort, in Siem Reap, was the Kasen Restaurant. Everything was great: the food, the environment, the service … Initially we were planning not to spend every day in the hotel for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but we were so positively surprised […]

Our first day in the ruins of the old city of Angkor Wat

The old city of Angkor Wat was another of the essentials on our list of places to visit … Well to be honest, on mine 😀 😀 We arrived in Siem Reap from Bangkok by bus. The Cambodian landscape is simply unique and really leaves you speechless … Huge moist green plains, a bright sky […]

Elegant Angkor Resort and Lemongrass Spa

During our stay at Elegant Angkor Resort & Spa we had the opportunity to enjoy the services offered by the Lemongrass Spa team. As the hotel is brand new, some of the facilities hadn’t yet been launched, such as the gym and the spa. The ETA for the spa room, for instance, was end of […]

Elegant Angkor Resort & Spa in Siem Reap, our experience

Elegance, ambience and tranquility … I think those 3 words sum up our experience at Elegant Angkor Resort & Spa. What an experience! This is a brand new hotel located in Siem Reap, and it was our base for visiting the historical city of Angkor Wat. We knew that this was an upscale hotel, but […]

How to get from Bangkok to Siem Reap

On a map, Bangkok and Siem Reap (where Angkor Wat is located) are pretty much in a straight line, so initially we thought it would be quite simple to connect these two destinations … But it’s not always as simple as Google Maps implies, and the reality of the situation (as well as its complications […]
