Today's travel photo is of some beautiful Hindu art at Sri Mahamariamman Temple in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Built in 1873, Sri Mahamariamman is the oldest Hindu temple in Kuala Lumpur. Something I love about Hindu temples is all of the amazing bright colours, particularly in the artwork. This temple is located in Chinatown, so if you're in [...]
If you have even a basic knowledge of Geography, you'll know that Thailand and Malaysia are bordering countries. There is very little distance to travel between the two. In fact, it only takes one hour to fly between the two capital cities of Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur. So when I say that it took us [...]
Today's travel photo is of the roundabout at the northern end of Hoan Kiem Lake in downtown Hanoi, Vietnam. If you're wandering around the Old Quarter in Hanoi, you are bound to find yourself at this busy roundabout from time to time. In this photo, I somehow captured the most quiet moment that I had [...]
I hugged the side of the road as cars and motorbikes zoomed past me. I was used to riding a scooter now in Asia, but I still refused to go much faster than 60kph, even on a main road like this one. I felt my wife's fingers dig into me each time a truck or [...]
Today's travel photo is of some deep fried street food snacks at the Sunday Night Market in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Although I'm not much of a shopper, I love visiting markets in Asia simply for the food. Chiang Mai has lots of markets, so I was always kept happy. The Sunday Night Market is popular [...]
Today's travel photo is of some dramatic rocky coastline on Rottnest Island, Western Australia. Growing up in Perth, I have visited Rottnest Island a few times, located only a half hour ferry ride away from Fremantle. I visited again recently and had a great time cycling around the island with my wife and brother-in-law. Rottnest [...]
Today's travel photo is of some rice fields on the rural island of Koh Trong, Cambodia. Koh Trong is a long, thin island in the middle of the Mekong River in Kratie, located in the North-eastern part of Cambodia. We spent the day cycling around the island and it was a very peaceful experience. It [...]
When I visited Chiang Rai during my first visit to Thailand, I made the mistake of not visiting the famous "White Temple". I didn't know a lot about it at the time apart from the fact that it was all white, and I was feeling pretty "templed out", so I didn't bother to make the [...]
I stood at the immigration point in Huay Xai, Laos, looking across the swift flowing muddy waters of the Mekong River. On the other side was Thailand, my destination. This would be the last time that I would cross the Mekong on this trip. As I stood there waiting for the boat to arrive to [...]
Today's travel photo is of the view of the Cameron Valley Tea Estate in the Cameron Highlands, Malaysia. Although it is possible to visit the tea plantations on a tour, or even make your own way on the local transport, we decided to walk to the Cameron Valley Tea Estate from Tanah Rata, located about [...]
