Posted on 26 Dec 20179 Jan 2024   by CY

Our last post covering our December 2017 trip to Phuket. As is our practice in our family vacations, aside from an overall itinerary commentary, we normally also finish off with final notes and travel advice. Phuket has certainly changed quite

Phuket 2017 – A Child’s Perspective

Posted on 26 Dec 201727 Dec 2017   by CY

One thing we started during our Western Australia trip in June was to get our girl to keep a journal of things she sees and experience everyday. I reckon I’ll have to do something similar for Peter on our next

Phuket 2017 – Eat Till We Drop

Posted on 26 Dec 201728 Dec 2017   by CY

Ling and I really like Thai food. And we’re lucky in that in Singapore, there is wide range of options that suits all budgets when it comes to Thai food cuisine. Interestingly, the Thai restaurants here that we’re familiar with

Phuket – Sino House Phuket Hotel

Posted on 23 Dec 201728 Dec 2017   by CY

Posted on 23 Dec 201728 Dec 2017   by CY

We finished The UpsideDown House, maze and tree house in less than an hour – as Ling quips, a pretty expensive 1,420THB/SGD 58 thrill where we would also have no absolute certainty that the pictures are any good until we
