The Azure Beauty of Wat Rong Seur Ten
Thailand seemed to love temples of different hues. After admiring the White Temple, we visited another one which reminded me of the color of the deep blue sea. I was already having temple aversion by the time we reached the Blue Temple. I was thinking […]

The Breathtaking Gigantes Group of Islands
I had long wanted to visit this part of the province upon hearing how captivating the islas were. I have quite high standards when it comes to ‘beautiful islands’ as our country have thousands of such. For me, when I say gorgeous, the islands of […]
