If you get a thrill every time you pass the windows of a store, or a shiver of excitement at the prospect of going to the mall, or does shiny, silky, and gleaming things catch your eye when ever you step out on the streets, then you will experience the “Thrill of Shopping“ in Thailand. In other words, if Shopping is in your Genes (jeans

Travel to Thailand to Learn How to Cook Thai Style!

I love travelling and I love cooking, so whenever I can, I take a cookery course that teaches me about the cuisine of the country I am visiting.
My most recent holiday was to Phuket in Thailand, inspired not in the least by my love of Thai food.
Foot Reflexology treatment centre opens up in Kochi!
Manna from heaven is how I would describe my introduction to Foot Reflexology. While driving around in Kochi, I had seen their promotional boards, however I had never thought of going to the centre until a friend referred me to it. And, am I glad?! …

Having filled our bags with bargains, we left for Phuket the same day. On landing in Phuket, we booked the PhiPhi Island tour for the next day. It is highly recommended that one book such a tour because of two reasons. Firstly, PhiPhi Island is accessible only by ferries and travellers who are not a part of such packages are charged more. Secondly, passengers who book a tour at the airport are given a free shuttle to their hotels. Public transport is nonexistent and taxis are very expensive. Our hotel, Ibis Kata was an hour’s drive from the airport. Had we not booked the tour for about 1000 baht, we would have spent 800 baht just for the taxi back to the hotel!

The temple tour and more…..
Our very first stop was the Reclining Buddha Temple which has the longest statue of Buddha. The statue is 46m long and is gold plated.

Next we visited the Marble Temple which is locally known as Wat Benchamabophit, meaning Temple of the fifth king.

Guilty as charged, I have been out of loop lately. Everyone told me rather warned me of how little time I would I have for myself let alone blogging after the little ones’ arrival. But, frankly it was more due to health reasons that I could not devote time to writing travelogues or recipes on my other blog site – Akshayapatram, as much as I wanted to. Anyways, am back albeit I will still take it slow.
Today am going to share with you a travelogue about Bangkok and Phuket written by a young traveller Supriya Kurpad, who shares with us her excitement, anxiety and inhibitions, centred on this trip…
