Malaysia Here I Come…
I’ll be heading over to Malaysia in a few weeks. Every year when I have to head out to do a Visa run I usually head over to Kuala Lumpur. It’s also a perfect excuse to get out and eat all that awesome Malay cuisine. Plus I’ve always enjoyed visiting Malaysia. Downside is I’ll be…

Happy In Hanoi Vietnam
It’s the middle of August in Hanoi. It was hot, humid and utterly uncomfortable. The heat mercilessly drains your energy with every step you take along the narrow winding streets, past zipping motorbikes and friendly old Vietnamese women selling fruit and vegetables. But this is post is not a rant on how much I hate…

A Pet Friendly Ibis Hua Hin Hotel Review

ANSA Kuala Lumpur Hotel (Formerly Piccolo Hotel) Review
Excellent Location and Not So Expensive… Whenever I get asked where is a good place to stay in Kuala Lumpur I always suggest an area called Bukit Bintang. I’ve stayed in a couple of hotels in that area but the one I frequently stay at is called the Piccolo Hotel (called ANSA Kuala Lumpur Hotel today).…

Pa Prai Villa Plantation Hua Hin Review
Not Cheap and Far From Hua Hin I know a lot of people who love Hua Hin but want to stay somewhere really quiet and out of the way. I’m not saying Hua Hin is noisy and congested like Bangkok because it’s not. However, Pa Prai Villa at the Plantation is about a 35 minute drive…

Sheraton Hotel Macao Review
Last December my wife and I made a trip over to Hong Kong. Since I hadn’t been over in Macao for a long while I figured a visit is long over due. This was sort of a Christmas holiday getaway so hotels were a more on the pricey side this time of year. But it’s…
