Spoiled Girls Move It in SG
We had a sweet escape last week @ Singapore!
It was a short but worth spent holiday with friends...
and this is how we move it...
Charming Cha-am
Our vacation won't be complete without kissing the sun and sand...
we initially thought of Pattaya to wrap our first Thailand adventure, but after seeing an article about Cha-Am, we got more excited.

| Sunrise @ Regent Cha-Am Beach Resort |
Cha-Am is a district in the southern part of Phetchaburi Province, central Thailand. Like Hua Hin, it is also a well known beach resort town but there is less foreigner and more of family and students. There is no night clubs or bar and restaurants at the beach side, but its long and wide and shoreline is perfectly calm and relaxing...
Hop In To Hua-Hin
Right after our Damneon Saduak: The Floating Market and Our First and Last Elephant Ride experience, we run towards Hua Lamphong Station, the main rail way station in Bangkok to catch the train to Hua Hin.

Our First & LAST Elephant Ride
The supposed to be number one must do in Thailand, our first & LAST elephant ride experience...
Despite the disappointments from the tour operator and taxi driver, we couldn't hide our excitement on this new experience...

It was on our bucket list, of course, to sit atop the world's largest terrestrial mamal...
until we were finally seated.
Damneon Saduak: The Floating Market
Being a first-timer in BKK, the floating market and elephant ride experience wouldn't be missed out. It happened on our 3rd day - morning, before we travel to Cha-Am in the aftenoon...
After many research on how to go to floating market, bus routes etc... due to limited time, we ended up with a taxi driver who offers a service in bringing us to the place.
Bangkok Temple Visits
Shopping and Temple visits are the 2 major things to do when in Bangkok... that's what I always see on blogs and trip advisory. However, I never imagined that there are more that 400 wats (temples) around BKK, just like the mosques here in UAE.
Considering that we were are in Muslim country, with a very conservative culture, we were able to adapt easily on their Buddhist cultures although they are of different faith. Respect other's culture and understand their belief is basic and important things to practice when travelling.
From my previous post, we Cruise Along the Chao Phraya River... and this is the same route that we took to reach the temples...
