Romantic Anniversary by the Rivers Side
#unforgettableexperiences
The Shangri-La, Tianjin, is, and has always been our favorite Hotel to visit.
This week was a special celebration for us, as we celebrated our 15th Wedding anniversary, as well as our 4th consecutive year in China.
We relocated to another City / Province, about two years ago, and was unable to visit and enjoy our special Shangri-La.
Prior to us moving from Tianjin, we used to celebrate all our special occasions and milestones, at this branch of Shangri-La.
We would always spend our Christmas, New Years, and Chinese New Year's at Shangri-La.
Now that we have returned to Heibei, we look forward to continuing this tradition.
Things change over time, some familiar faces are no longer working there.
However, the new team made us feel right at home again, and went out of their way to make our stay most memorable and special.
As I mentioned to one of the team members, it's not the spectacular Lobby Lounge, nor the beautifully decorated features, that make the establishment, but rather the people.
Without quality staff and superior service, no establishment can ever rely on reoccurring business.
For as long as these values are in place, this Shangri-La can be certain of our patronage.
All team members provided excellent service, from the bellhop, to the waitresses, from the front of house to the housekeeping and of course the management team.
Special thanks to "Francis", the new General Manager, "Danny", the Food and Beverage Director, as well as "Billy", the "Food and Beverage" Manager.
This trio of Management, ensured that we received the best service possible.
Lastly, we would like to thank "Roger" whom assisted us with a Driver / Transportation, upon our early departure.
No visit to Tianjin, would ever truly be complete, with visiting The Shangri-La.
See you soon.

Exploring the Mystical Landscapes of Wadi Rum
#wecreate
A Journey through Jordan's Desert Jewel.
My stay in Wadi Rum was a mesmerizing desert experience that left me in awe of nature's beauty. The moment I arrived, I was greeted by the towering red sandstone cliffs, vast golden dunes, and an endless expanse of rugged landscapes. The tranquility of the desert was overwhelming, with only the sound of wind whispering through the canyons.
I spent my nights under a blanket of stars, staying in bubble luxotel . As the sun set, the sky transformed into a breathtaking display of colors, painting a celestial masterpiece. Sitting around a campfire, listening to Bedouin tales and sharing delicious Arabic cuisine, I felt a deep connection to the rich culture and heritage of the region.
During the day, I embarked on thrilling desert adventures. Riding a camel, I traversed the undulating dunes, feeling the rhythmic sway beneath me. Exploring hidden canyons and ancient rock formations, I marveled at the intricate patterns carved by time and weather.
Wadi Rum is a place where time seems to stand still, allowing you to reconnect with nature and find solace in its raw grandeur. It was a short but unforgettable experience that left an indelible mark on my soul, reminding me of the incredible wonders this world has to offer.

Ahimsa Vegetarian Buffet
Address - North Point, Fort St, 10-16號, Kar On House, 地下B舖
Ambiance/Facilities - The restaurant is brightly lit with warm lighting. There is a calm and peaceful feel but it depends what time you go. The lunch rush might be busier maybe because the buffet is cheaper compared to dinner time.
There are bathrooms and the restaurant itself isn't cramped - there's space to move around.
Highlights - The food was tasty and they had nice variety of items. Everything was mostly vegan except for the desserts - some had diary.
Avg. Price per Person -
Lunch (11:30-14:30): HK$ 95
Tea (14:30-17:00): HK$ 68
Supper (18:00-22:00): HK$ 135

Maldives local island Hulhlumale hotels
When you are at Maldives and going to fly to your resort, you will face time restrictions. So you might have to stay nearby the airport to take the seaplane or domestic flight.
One of the easiest option is to stay in a hotel at Hulhlumale island, connected to the main airport by a short drive 5-10 minutes. You can consider staying over the Male island too, now also accessible by cars. I will introduce the type of motels I stayed on Hulhlumale. It can be as cheap as $60-70 and the taxi ride is about 15-20 usd. If you have time, you can take the public bus too. They are using our SMRT type of buses. You will definitely feel at home.

Iconsiam water feature show
Not to be missed! It is a water fountain show with multimedia features right outside Iconsiam. You will have to go to the river side to be able to watch this show. Else, you can follow my idea of watching it from my room window. I had a panoramic room view at the Millennium Hilton. I was able to watch the water fountain show very clearly. This show will starts at 7pm (Monday to Thursday) and 6.30pm & 8pm on weekends and Public holiday. This is the longest multimedia water features in South East Asia.

🦀 Eating raw crabs
Raw crab alert! If you are a fan of crab, lobsters and prawns or all types of crustaceans. You gotta try this Puponfai restaurant. Thankfully, they allow online ordering and food delivery to your address. You have to use this app LINE, add them and you can place your order. It is not an automated system so you will have to send them messages. Then they will dispatch your food orders and you can pay cash upon delivery. I love their spicy sauce, it is awesome to dip the sauce with the crustaceans and eat it. It can get very spicy so please take note.

Fast Tracking in Bangkok
Pre-covid times, the airlines will present you a special ticket to use the fast immigration track at Suvarnabhumi Airport. I arrived in Bangkok in May (post-covid) and the airlines did not provide the special ticket. They also did not inform about the fast track entitlements. In any case, I just went to the fast track entrance and presented my boarding pass to skip the queue. Not all boarding passes can use the fast track so it is better to check and reconfirm it. In short, most business class boarding passes are able to use the fast track.

Every dish has distinctive features and is unique from typical Japanese food -more alike to fusion
Exellent food and service.
Very innovative contemporary food with Korean and Japanese.
Tuna pizza was fair enough to try.
It was happy to see Korean chef and listening story of Akira Back's story.
Interesting combination between Japanese and American cuisine. Grilled dish was cooked to order and remained its original and natural flavor. Dessert here was really worth a try. Staff was prompt in service and explained the dining concept carefully to us upon ordering.

Great food, Excellent service by khun nonny & Khun nam and beautiful atmosphere.
Perfect place for dinner or celebrating special occasion!!
Possibly I was having too high expectation. For starters, I’ve ordered salmon, scallop and tuna pizza, tuna pizza is surprising, but the other 2 are not surprising. Most possibly I won’t try again if I come here again. For the beef taco, not surprising too.
For the main, I’ve ordered beef rib eye and black cod. They both are SUPERB. Beef was so juicy and flavoured. The cod is surprising good too.
Last but not least, staff are very attentive
Akira Back has a wonderful 37th floor sky view in marriot hotel with great food. We spent a birthday dinner here with Nes and Nam as our receptionist and waiter. Their services are wonderful and help us took great photos. Would recommend anyout who’s like to have a chill night out to come
First visit at Akira back with my lovely girl to celebrate her birthday, start with warm welcome by smiling staff around the restaurant, Khun Khopoon provide best take care us with excellent service, also Khun Peach and Khun Aran always keep looking us asking for further need checking our satisfaction, all food we selected was so delicious, If you looking for the best restaurants this place is your choice.

Happy meal at Goji Kitchen and Bar In Bangkok
Goji Kitchen +Bar
Great variety of food. Fresh ingredients. Highly skilled chefs in each station, making each dish cooked just the way it should be. We especially liked the grilled lamb chops, river prawns, hotate sashimi, foie gras, and the selection of cheeses.
All staffs provide good service, Especially Khun Rana,Fern and K.Gette 😄 Overall today's food is good. according to the quality here 👍🏻We will come again 😊
Casual and attentive service. Thanks to Khun May and Khun Pin who take good care of us. The only problem is that I wish my stomach had bigger space!
The food is good with a variety. Good management on buffet lines, always fill the trays in time despite many people. The staff are very helpful; especially Khun Natt and Khun May who suggest a must dish for us tonight and ensure our table is empty from piles of finished dishes. Such a wonderful evening! Only one thing, foie gras piece us smaller than what we had last time.
Extraordinary international buffet. Lovely and friendly service for khun Beer and Nong Aum as our services. We would definitely come back for more often.

Good place to stay during ur trip to Bangkok
We had a 3 night stay at the Eastin Grand Hotel Sathorn In their executive suite.
The hotel is located directly opposite the Sursak sky train station which id a great transport link to access any areas of Bangkok. The station platform had a walkway which crossed above the road and led directly to the third floor of the hotel.
Every request was implemented perfectly and I was able to thoroughly enjoy my stay. Many thanks again to the great service staff at the pool and Mr. Boss at the reception. I’ll definitely come back soon
It was just one stop on the sky train (or 10 mins walk) to the river where we took a boat to Wat Arun temple and the grand palace.
On arrival we were warmly welcomed by the doorman and check in staff. The hotel had a large & impressive lobby and our first Impressions were good.
Better than expectation Excellent breakfast Clean room Good internet, speedy Service mind: very good, politely Very close to the Covid 19 swab hospital You should try by yourself Locating just in front of Sky train in Central Bangkok
Our room on the 28th floor, was a dual aspect corner room, with floor to ceiling windows that gave amazing views over the city. It was well equipped, with a separate office area and furnished beautifully throughout.
The bathroom was absolutely massive, it had a large shower plus a freestanding bathtub situated next to the dual aspect windows.
It was so lovely to soak in the bath in the evening looking at the city lights.
We had breakfast on the 5th floor, which was absolutely amazing!
There was so much choice we hardly knew where to start. The food was lovely and the staff so polite and friendly, we looked forward to breakfast every day.
The 14th floor had a large open area overlooking the city. The gym, bar, restaurant and pool were all located there.
The infinity pool had traditional sun loungers at the end, and along its length, funky rattan pods big enough for two.
We grabbed one of those to relax in.
The Gym was impressive for a hotel gym, very well equipped with top quality machines and loose weights.
We didn’t get to eat at the hotel restaurant so cannot comment on the food there.
We had a fantastic stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it !

Memorable moments at the SO/ BANGKOK!!
First time at this hotel – The SO hotel was awesome by every aspect, making my 10 days stay in Bangkok a slice of peace in the heart of this frenetic city.
The hotel oozes with personality orchestrated by a world class staff that goes above and beyond to make your stay memorable, all the way from check in to check out.
Stayed for 2 nights seems not enough, enjoyed the suites so much. Spacious and modern (we choose metal element). If you like high floor then you should choose Water Element. Great service and breakfast. We also enjoyed dinner at So Bangkok with their various items. Quite near to Siam Paragon and Pratunam but it’s located in traffic jam area so need careful with your time plan. There’s vibrant rooftop bar that you could enjoy Bangkok city light.
Stylishly appointed apartments/ rooms (designed over different themes representing the nature elements: Wood, Metal, Water...) , very impressed with the super comfy bed.
Delicious and expansive breakfasts (just keep in mind that weekends can get a bit more crowded but overall things get well managed by a knowledgeable and friendly team).
The lounge on the 25th floor is an interesting place to hang out, especially in the late afternoon to enjoy the complimentary light buffet (free access for guests staying in superior rooms).
The pool/gym area was probably my favourite spot. A relaxation nest offering a stunning view on the city skyline where I enjoyed to end up almost every evening of my stay.
Beautiful hotel, Good location, testy breakfast, the hotel have several type of rooms and I got "Wood theme" of the corner room. It’s very nice with beautiful Lumphini park view that we can run there in the morning. The bed is very comfortable. Also all hotel staffs are friendly, especially So Baiwan is very nice to take care of us. I very happy especially for room upgrading. I was very impressed!
This hotel is extremely well-located, overlooking the Lumpini Park, near the eating/shopping areas of Silom. A stone thrown away from the MRT station (Lumpini) or a 10 min walk to the BTS station (Saladang) from where you can easily reach any place in Bangkok without the hassle of the traffic.
Everything was spotless, definitely on my ‘ Best hotels ever list

Fun to Play with Family in Thailand 👍
In Thailand this is my favorite hotel of choice. Family atmosphere and caring staff. Comfortable and relaxing. Food is excellent and entire Team outstanding! Pool is clean and refreshing, attendants are amazing. Front desk Team is the best, quick, professional and so lovely! The housekeeping staff are so professional....rooms are so clean
One of the best resorts I have stayed and I have been to many. I wrote a legnthy review in the first part of the previous, not knowing I would be asked again and I did not save my previous writing.
The front desk was attentive and ALWAYS professional. Specifically ANNA who took excellent care of me and my son. She understood each and every issue and resolved immediately. She took time out to show my son how to access the hotel's wi-fi on his tablet. She took time out to personally enter information regarding the PCR test to be loaded onto that website. Anytime I came down and if she saw me she ushered me to come to her for assistance. Because she was so helpful, knowledgeable and definitely was a leader I assumed her to be management. Thank you for everything Anna. Additionally, in OASIS - the restaurant in the lobby - Feld, Dunk we the most attentive and fun staff, they not only kept me happy, talked to me and provided excellent service but they are great at what they do. They made me feel SUPER special!
There are a huge green territory, many different swimming pools, a lazy river, slides, playgrounds, trampoline and a kids club.
Near the hotel there are good massage parlors, small cafes and the Terminal Shopping Mall within walking distance.
The staff are very pleasant and always ready to help you.
The food is very good with lots of seafood, grilled meat and deserts.
During this challenging time it’s very hard to travel abroad. We passed several times PCR tests even for a two-year-old baby. And the front office manager, Mr. Phalee was very polite and really helped not only us, but many of the hotel guests to organize all these.Always good service and Following for hygiene standards made us trust and comfortable. Breakfast good quality and full service Extraordinary.
Property: huge and with everything an awesome water play area
Staff: the one person who deserves a big mention is: Ms. ANNA at the reception. She is awesome and deserves a loud thank you to making the start of our trip pleasurable.
Food: Vegetarian Not catered for with love. Really feel left out in this front. Please do something about it.

Staycation at Banyan Tree Bangkok❤️
The location is in the Central Business District of Bangkok.
Horizon Room is very good, large, clean and comfortable, equipped with large sofa in living area.
The working desk is large and comfortable.
Bathroon is tiny space, there is bathtub and shower.
The condition of some equipment such as bathtub was broken.
The fitness area is very large. There are a lot of equipments. The swimming pool on the 21st floor. Its size is quite small for swimming with a few persons.
Breakfast is served as a buffet with a limited of choice either Thai and Western style. The taste is acceptable. Breakfast area is too small comparing with the hotel size and amount of guest. So, the breakfast round has been separated into 3 rounds. In my opinion it is not fair to guest. The hotel should provide more breakfast area for the guest convinience.
The overall service in breakfast is acceptable. I have observed that the foreigners were serviced better than Thai guests. This is the worst point for me in this stay.
What a hospitality! Every employee is very friendly and helpful. They all look up when you pass by, smile and say something nice! We have felt very welcome. We had dinner at Vertigo on the 62nd floor. Wooooow what a view! As a free service, they took and printed a great photo of us! What a surprise! We had plans to go to a museum. Since their service is excellent and the view from our room (47th floor) and the pool (21st floor) is great too, we stayed in the hotel the whole time. We booked one night and loved every minute of it. Very highly recommended
Vertigo Rooftop is great service, lovely staff, great food and great atmosphere. It's great as I have been everytime.
Check in and check out process is slow.
Once again that I had observed the different between Thai and foreigners.
My favourite hotel experience in Thailand yet.
Special thank you to the team at Banyan Tree Bangkok for providing me with such a valuable experience.
What I liked:
The culture of exceptional service.
I especially would like to thank Khun Karn Duty manager for their kind words, help to practise the Thai language and attentiveness in welcoming me to the room. In addition, the kindness and grace of each staff member, from the reception staff to the doormen and staff at the pool, made me feel very welcome. Check-in was smooth, and the late check-out was much appreciated.

Hoi An, one of the most charming towns!

Staycation at The Okura Prestige Bangkok⚡
The Okura Prestige is the height of luxury. I travelled with my partner and we absolutely loved the experience. The rooms are very big and we had a beautiful view of the city of Bangkok. The rooms come with so many small touches like a traditional tea leaf set, a night time turn down service with ice and water, a heated toilet seat and Japanese robes. Huge room with superb facilities and an amazing view of the city. arrival in Bangkok before heading to other parts of Thailand and we are so glad we did. The hotel is perfectly located for a first timer in Bangkok, with the BTS Skytrain connected to the hotel giving very quick and air-con public transport to most important sights. Hotel rooms were big, clean and we had a super view on the 30th floor. The bed is very comfortable and we slept (missing jet lag) amazingly from the first night. Breakfast was delicious and varied. Infinity pool on the 25th veranda had awesome views of the city. Service by all staff during our stay was warm and hospitable.
The infinity pool is a nice touch to enjoy a swim at 26 storeys!
The breakfast is great with an extensive selection of continental and Asian dishes. Also the infinity pool looks out onto the whole city and gets plenty of sun.
Every member of staff was so polite and went above and beyond to do everything for us. We are a young couple and most clientele at the hotel is businessmen but we did not feel treated less by the staff. Our only small complaint is that the manager who greeted everyone at breakfast seemed to avoid us. As mentioned we are a young couple and he made us feel slightly inferior by purposefully avoiding us even when the breakfast restaurant did not have many people in it.

Staycation at Phuket Marriott Resort & Spa⚡
Stayed at Merlin Beach for 7 nights. Overall the service and experience was amazing and worth the money.
Checking in we used the hotel taxi service from phuket airport. This is only $20 more than a normal taxi and takes the stress out of pickup with your name on a board and then escorted to the car.
Well laid out with ample place for all types of guests. We were there with our kids and they enjoyed the hotel facilities e.g swimming pool, kids room, kids activities etc.
On arrival we where greeted with smiles and a welcome drink each. Check in was quick and easy.
The room is a 10/10 for cleanliness and modern features for Thailand. Not dated at all. We where in a sea view room which had amazing views. The pool view was also great and would suffice for next time.
Don't listen to the other reviews about the beach. The beach is great and fine and easy to navigate and is safe. Yes at low tide (say post 4pm) the tide goes out and it's a long walk to go for a swim. But you have 3 massive pools you can use. When the tide is out the rock pools are amazing for exploring with hundreds of fish and crabs to look at and explore. When the tide is in the beach is an amazing white sand and th water is crystal clear. The beach had TWO separate massage places that do laundry. One does drinks. These places are amazing and much cheaper than the hotel.
Pool area is great and with 3 pools there is plenty of places to sit. The main pool has a swim up bar and you can also get snacks.
Buffet breakfast was great and had way too many options !!
Only negative is the prices of drinks. Happy hour at the pool bar is 3 to 5 then rum bar at 5 to 7. This is 2 for 1 and makes the prices ok. However compared too thialand in general it's abit expensive.
The concierge is great and can book private cars, tours or whatever you like.
Hotel is about 3KM from Patong / Bangla Street and has frequent shuttle service to the place. The hotel beach has a nice view but can't go in waters, unsafe, unmanned, rocky. Staff were very helpful. Memorable trip, would definitely recommend if you are visiting Phuket for peaceful time.
A heap of taxis wait out the front od the hotel to take you wherever you like. All prices are fixed so no negotiations but also no rip off's. Bangla road is 250 baht taxi and 300 baht tuk tuk away (about 10 mins) All in all this resort is worth the money and in a great location for both relaxing and heading into patong

Recommended Hotel in Bangkok Shopping Area
Checkin was a little manic.
Elevator is very interesting your room card is needed to gain access to your floor and you are unable to go to any other floor other than your room floor and service areas such as pool, restaurant.
Our room was very comfortable with a view of the back streets which gave us an overview of every day life in the streets below.
Pool area was great for just chilling happy hour was between 2 & 4pm daily and offered an assortment of cocktails, wine, beers and soft drinks also a good food menu was provided.
Staff at the pool area were very friendly and helpful.
Location is fantastic for those who love a bargain shop as well as high end shopping can be found in the near by shopping centres.
There is a great choice of food also in the surrounding areas of the hotel a short walk in any direction food can be found.
Breakfast was great a huge selection of food from around the world to please all.
I got the executive club room which came with great benefits (booked directly with the hotel) and access to the club lounge. We spent lovely time in the lounge while enjoying the view. And again staff were good.
And breakfast was splendid.. We had good choices.
Rooms were fine- no complaints. I think the rooms do need some updating in terms of the ac control but nthg to spoil ur sleep or vacation. I didn have to call house keeping for anything much.. most of what I needed was alr in the room and they do make sure to visit the room for regular clean up even if you do not indicate you want the room to be made. This is a plus for me.
Overall I would recommend this hotel to those who just want to pamper themselves a little or simple be in a great city location
We had a wonderful comfortable stay here! Nice breakfast selection, very hospitable hotel staff. Great location, just across from Platinum mall and walking distance to Central World, and Siam Paragon area. 10/10 will definitely stay here again. Good price as well. Spacious room too!

The excellent stay in Carlton Hotel, Bangkok
Carlton Hotel Bangkok Sukhumvit is a five-star hotel that offers 338 elegant rooms and suites, a choice of renowned dining venues including the signature Cantonese restaurant, Wah Lok, and a chic rooftop bar with panoramic views of the cityscape.
the door man said welcome back to us. When we checked-in the manager Khun Palm recognized us right away and made sure the room amenities are set up as I preferred from last visit. The concierge was really polite and helpful. The service at the lobby bar is also beyond expectation. When I tried the drink and it was too sweet, they noticed it right away and offer to redo and make me a new one. All the staff really pay attention to customers. I am really impressed.
The room is really beautiful and spacious, what I like the most is the Japanese toilet. I will definitely come back to Carlton again when I visit Bangkok. Near a lot of massages and terminal 21 mall that has a great variety of shopping. Special mention to Mr Chang and Mr Art for being such a great host as well as all stuff at carlton hotel for making the checking in and out a breeze.
This hotel is superior to others. Newly built and looks exclusive. Bellboys recognise you upon return and special thanks to K.Palm who's take notes in our profiles for amenities and other requests. Also the Front Office Manager and her staff was giving very good service.
The cooling tower rooftop bar has nice drinks with a great view. Also the dimsum is great at the Chinese restaurant.
U won't regret a stay here ;)

Royal Silk Lounge
A lovely airport lounge located the departure gates. You will have to go down one level to find these airport lounges. There is no time limit to stay in the lounge and you can eat and drink as you wish. A pity that the thai royal silk lounge did not have a shower area. But they have many local beer selections to make up for it. They also serve hot food during meal times and the taste is pretty ok. There are also plenty of seats around and if you go towards the last section, you can find reclining chairs to take a nap.

Iconsiam Yuzu Suki
BKK Iconsiam Yuzu Suki
A new restaurant which specialise in Japanese shabu shabu and yakiniku. Also, they have everything in yuzu, a citrus food. I will recommend you to order their yuzu drinks, they have too many drink choices. For my first time dining here, I tried out their shabu shabu in truffle soup and yuzu soup. The soups came in individual pot and you can cook yourself. It was a set meal so I had too much to eat. It was extremely tasty and extravagant eating wagyu beef cooked in truffle soup. I will return to try out their yakiniku.
