A calm but vibrant Chiang Mai!

My fascination with Chiang Mai started because of the Thai romantic movies I have seen, I always thought it was the perfect setting for an interesting love story. I wasn't wrong. There's just so many reasons to fall in love with this town.

The journey to Chiang Mai started from Luang Prabang, it was a long 21-hour bus ride of crossing the border from Laos to Thailand. This ride was one of those I could never forget because it was one of the moments that I genuinely felt like a traveler. Right upon reaching the terminal we met a lot of backpackers heading towards different destinations, all equipped with just a backpack and a passion to travel.

AurumOne Hotel Makati

I've gotten myself into a number of times where I was asked by family and friends for my thoughts on a convenient place to hit a night before catching a flight the next day or a quick layover in Manila. While I can recommend a few hotels around the airport, paying luxury for a a swift convenience didn't sound very appealing. 

As soon as I learned about AurumOne Hotel which is strategically located a few minutes from the airport and a short distance away from the city centre, I immediately wanted to check it out if it was something worth the night. 

Coron Down Under

The best of Coron, Palawan does not only sit above the shores where sparkling blue waters and lush greenery overwhelms your sight. It owes much of its enchantment from the grandeur life down under. The brilliance of colors and the glowing movement of the waters were spectacular. Must I say it is a paradise in a paradise?

From Kayangan Lake's chandelier stone formation to the glowing fishes of Siete Pecados, to the playful creatures in the shores of Banana Island to the majestic kingdom of the Bolog Reef; Coron, Palawan has so much to offer.

Let me bring you to Coron, down under. 

A Place for Peter Pan- The Mt. Tapyas Hotel

Coron, Palawan will always be my definition of finding Neverland. And the journey in this beautiful town is incomplete without a cradle to carry out all the fun's worth. With a bird's eye view of the surrounding waters of mainland Coron, the view itself satisfies your craving for some of the best time of your life. And yes, I would definitely say, best.

Being there, it is as if Peter Pan is at his spot to take a glimpse of Neverland.
