Phuket, an island in southern Thailand offers the most gorgeous beaches, stunning islands, pulsating nightlife and plethora of fun activities to immerse in. And quite a few interesting things to explore that are not talked about as much. Here is our account of the tropical wonderland that Phuket is.
Then known as “Thailand-Burma Railway”, it was later called the “Death Railway”. Construction of the railway track between Ban Pong in Thailand and Thanbyuzayat in Burma was/ is a dark chapter in the history of mankind. More than 1 hundred thousand labourers perished during its construction. A visit to the site changed my travel perspective.
Paris is indeed charming, and a very romantic city. Its beautiful cityscape, classy buildings, lovely boulevards and river Seine make it a truly lovable city. It’s also called the city of light. My 2016 trip was short, but quite memorable.
Very different from the cities of central Thailand and islands of southern Thailand, its north has to offer an amazing array of serene views and cultural experiences. On our first trip to Thailand, we experienced everything; however, the most unique experience was in Chiang Mai.
We had a wonderful time in Italy in 2018. We visited Rome, Pisa, Florence, Siena, Venice and Milan. Each of these places is unique, and I don’t like to compare places. However, if there is one place that I would definitely go back, it is Florence.
England often doesn’t augur that ‘ancient cultural’ vibe as its other western neighbors like Italy and Greece do. But England, (and the United Kingdom) is home to some of the most amazing symbols of ancient civilizations. The Avebury ring, Skara brae, Hadrian’s wall, Edinburg castle and Corfe castle are just a few to name. I had the opportunity of visiting two such ancient wonders- Stonehenge and Bath, in a day, in 2015.
