Last year December.. My hubby and I went Vertigo and moon bar @ BanyanTree Bangkok for fine dining :) I made email reservation one month before so that we can get the best seat :)
-
Located at 61st floor of Banyan Tree Hotel, Vertigo and moon bar offers an al fresco dining experience overlooking the stunning skyline of Bangkok.
.
This is my 2nd fine dining experience in Bangkok.. I went to Sirocco & Sky Bar @ Lebua Hotel before - rated the 14 best rooftop bars in the world.. will blog about it when time permits :) The dinner at Sirocco & Sky Bar @ Lebua Hotel is the most expensive meal I had in my life thus far! Personal record.. hahaha if you plan to go.. get ready to burn a really big hole in your pocket!
Breathing View.. Shape of a ship..
We had 3 course meal..because we are there to celebrate my hubby's birthday..

Beef for hub..
Really love the view.. 
Very cooling at night too.. Lucky I brought my cardigan along :)

Haha.. Last year Decemeber, we are not married yet >.< So is Husband to be..

The Best Boat Noodles near Victory Monument in Bangkok, Thailand

Hello lovelies,
You MUST try this when you visit Bangkok Thailand next time! :)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Best of Noodle Boat near Victory Monument
~
Kway Teow Rua / Kuai Teow Ruea or better known as Boat Noodles are originally sold at river canals on a floating boat. Now, majority of them have moved to the land and the easiest place to find them is at Victory Monument (Military Monument). 
We try asking the locals about the best boat noodles, they also direct us to Victory Monument! 
No doubt.. this is the place you must visit for the best boat noodles! :)
-
At Victory Monument, there are several stalls selling boat noodles.
But the one that the locals always go to is the stall in the pic below..
This is the number 1 choice for many!
By the way, they are wearing orange shirts! So it is quite easy to identify..

A Day Trip to Wat Pho and Wat Arun, Bangkok Thailand

Wat Pho, Wat Arun Travel guide

Hi lovelies,
My husband and I went to explore Wat Pho and Wat Arun December last year :)
and we would like to share with you some humble tips..
Feel free to share this post with your friends :)

What to wear to Wat Pho and Wat Arun:
For ladies, I would suggest you to bring along a long sleeve cardigan and wear a "light material" long pants and do remember to bring along a cap. Visiting Shrine requires all female to wear long pants/skirt, and wear clothes that covers your shoulder..if not you must rent a "sarong" to cover your legs.. For guys they are not so strick, a polo/T-shirt with three quarter pants is alright..

How to get there:
One of the cheapest and easiest way to reach Wat Pho is via the boat ride on the Chao Phraya River. The nearest BTS Skytrain station is Saphan Taksin Station. The Sathorn Pier is just 3 minutes walking distance from Saphan Taksin Station.

How much is the boat tickets:
We brought the one day river pass, which allows us to take unlimited number of boat rides..
It is 150 Baht per person.. there is only one booth selling the tickets.
The single way ticket is only around 10-25 baht (take the boat with orange flag (cheaper), because different flag there is different rate, if I am not wrong the blue flag is the tourist boat with tour guide, it will cost around 40baht per single trip), the single trip ticket is sold on the boat itself.
Here's a pic of our one day river pass..

Chocolate Ville Bangkok

Hello lovelies!
I am here to share with you..another must go place in Bangkok!!
-
I am so in love with Chocolate Ville!! It is such a photo worthy place!! 
At first I thought there are lots of Chocolate at Chocolate Ville..  but surprisingly Chocolate Ville has got nothing to do with Chocolate!! haha..
-
Chocolate Ville is themed like a small American countryside village from the olden days, complete with colourful barn-style facades and a small stream that meanders and links the buildings together. Small bridges span across the stream.. There is a windmill and light house too.. everywhere you turned to is photo worthy!!

~
Ok..let the photos do the talking!
We visited this place last year Dec - Christmas theme! I love the Christmas decorations!!
You can consider going Chocolate Ville to celebrate Christmas this year end!! Weather quite windy though.. not as hot as usual! Less than SGD 500 you can go there already! Including air ticket and accommodation! What are you waiting for?! Haha ❤

Six things to do at Changi Airport Terminal Two when your flight delay

Hello lovelies,
Here's our two cents on what you can do at Changi Airport Terminal 2 when your flight delay!
~
Below (pic) is us looking very excited on our first ever Scoot Experience..
but at the same time..it was also our first ever Flight Delay Experience at Changi Airport.. LOL! -__-"
Which means we are stuck at the Departure hall for about 2 hours plus!

At first I was quite worried..because I am afraid we will feel super bored at the departure hall! 
Moreover it was my Husband's Actual Birthday! (14 Dec 2014 - last year)
-
But after this flight delay experience..We start falling in love with our World Class airport!
I hope after reading this post.. the next time you go on a holiday, you will arrive early at the airport because your holiday truly begins at Singapore Changi Airport! Haha
❤
