🇹🇭 Rosewood Bangkok
Sawadeekrup! I always want to bring more Thailand content to you but my time is limited. I went to survey Rosewood Bangkok and think is a good option for my next family trip.
Here is my recent stay over my birthday month at Rosewood Bangkok. A berry lovely luxurious property located at Phloen Chit. The hotel is also connected to the Phloen Chit BTS, giving a quicker access to skip the Bangkok Traffic.
My executive room is on level 23 and you will need to change lift at lobby which is at level 7. The hotel facilities (fitness gym and swimming pool) are on level 9.
The highlight of my stay is their lovely bathtub which has unblocked city views. The automated blinds is a nice touch so that I can block off the sunlight when I am soaking inside the bathtub.

🇹🇭 Coral lounge at Gate D
Bangkok Thailand is always a great place for family trips and this is at Coral Lounge at Suvarnabhumi Airport near to Gate D. You can make use of the free lounge pass from Trip.com lounge pass for Platinum and Diamond members. Check their available lounge before you redeem and if there are no options then you use those priority passes given by banks. A visit to the airport lounge before flight is a good idea to rest and relax and have a meal before flying out/home. AT this lounge, they also serve the Harry Potter’s butter beer too.

🇹🇭 Lyf Sukhumvit 8 lobby
Bangkok Thailand is always a great place for family trips and this is a new and hip hotel to consider for your next family trip. The rooms here are not big but the prices are cheap for a quick stay. Lyf Sukhumvit 8 Bangkok has a cohesive lobby and allow guests to mingle together. The lobby also has plenty of seating areas and board games are also available for free. Any guests can also use these shared facilities at any time. There are also free/low cost activities like perfume classes and any guests can sign up too. The shared kitchen is also a good idea, just make sure you label your items with your name and date.

🇹🇭Sharing food together as a family
Bangkok Thailand is always a great place for family trips and this is a great place to bring your family for dinner. Everyone can buy what they want to eat and sit together to share the food together. There are also no restrictions to buy from certain stalls. You can buy from any stalls as you wish and even can take away as well. The coconut juice here is so delicious and they even scoop out the coconut flesh for you too. They also have the viral thai milktea waffles too and the queue here is not long so it is easier to queue.

🇹🇭 Akimitsu tendon
Bangkok Thailand is always a great place for family trips and this is at the popular Akimitsu Tendon Japanese restaurant. This is the outlet at Iconsiam and you can find them at the Icon Luxe building on ground level. You can enter easily via using the riverside entrance and there are 2 levels here. The ground floor has limited seatings so go up to the upper level for group seatings. Akimitsu is popular for their tendon bowl which is tempura served on rice. You can also choose soba noodles or just tempura only. It is easier to customize your preferences here compared to elsewhere. The staff will be more than happy to take your special requests.

🇹🇭 Olaf skating rink
Bangkok Thailand is always a great place for family trips and this is at Iconsiam outdoor area. Come to the riverside area and you always can see different themes during different times of the year. Back in 2023, Iconsiam is running the Frozen theme and they even install an Olaf skating rink. You can rent your skating gears and skate with Olaf. This skating rink is more suitable for children and it is not inside a freezing temperature too. So you do not have to wear winter clothes and heattech too. When you spend above certain amount at Iconsiam, you also can redeem the play coupon for free and use it for the Olaf skating rink.

🇯🇵 So easy to go to this Tokyo Hotel
Address: 1 Chome-27-9 Asakusabashi, Taito City, Tokyo 111-0053, Japan
Among the hotels I have stayed in Asakusabashi, this APA Hotel Asakusabashi Ekimae is the closet to Asakusabashi station. There is also another smaller west entrance/exit for the JR JB line for Asakusabashi. So there are 2 train lines in this area, JR JB (Chūō-Sōbu Line) and Toei Asakusa Metro line. For first timer to Tokyo, you will get overwhelmed with all the different train network.
Take it easy and by looking at the metro and JR map separately, you can figure it berry easily. Plus, there are many transportations map to help you map your route too.
I shall leave you to view my vlog of this berry spacious room I got this accessible double room with breakfast for 2 nights stay in March 2024 on another OTA for $134 and it was a berry awesome deal.

🇨🇳🏨 Kempinski Hotel Shenzhen
When you are in Hong Kong, you must find time to visit Shenzhen. There are many Hongkongers visiting Shenzhen and it is like Singaporeans visiting Johor Bahru. Everyone come to Shenzhen for food tourism and also have a great time. I am staying at Kempinski Hotel in Shenzhen and it is connected to Houhai station and you can use it to explore many places of interests. The hotel location is great and connected to OK Mall and can walk on the pedestrian bridge to Coastal City Shopping Centre. There are many eateries and shopping centres around here.

🇸🇬🌸April Spring New Menu Teppei Singapore
Address: 1 Tras Link, Orchid Hotel Singapore, Singapore 078867
Cost: $100-$120/pax
Spring menu is the best because you get to taste the seasonal ingredients at Teppei Japanese Restaurant. It is pretty easy to get a reservation here and I got lucky and got myself a same day reservation on weekday dinner slot. This place is small and has limited counter seatings so if you have a big group reservation, please contact the restaurant directly. If you are celebrating birthday at Teppei, you can purchase a sashimi cake or request for a birthday candle to be placed on your main course. The lovely chefs at Teppei will also present you with a lovely birthday song.

🌸🇸🇬 Sakura Blossom into the night
Sakura Sakura and you can see them up close at Flower Dome, Gardens by the Bay. There are many varieties of Sakura here in Singapore and each of them bloom at different intervals. So you can come here every other day to see their progress. So get yourself an annual pass, it is so worth it. This year the display at Flower Dome even has the UNESCO Golden Pavilion which is the Kinkakuji Temple in Kyoto. Plus they have night Sakura too which will blossoms in the night with all the illumination. I didn’t have enough time but I will return for the night Sakura. This event will ends on 21 April so I still have time.

🇨🇳🏨 Guangzhou W Hotel
Nihao! Let’s kickstart my birthday celebration for the month of Aries. I will start it off from the beautiful city of Guangzhou. I didn’t had time in February when I was in Hong Kong. So I flew direct to Guangzhou via Scootplus in March.
Here is my fantastic suite in W Guangzhou and I have always enjoy W’s aesthetics. This is also one of the rare W hotels to have an executive lounge. So it is a must try for me in Guangzhou. The bathtub is a great fit and it comes with a preset light setting for therapy. It also has a Dyson hairdryer and Toto toilet system.
This suite is berry luxurious and whenever whatever at W as always. In W’s vicinity, there are a few flowering Sakura trees too!

🇹🇭 🚌 Bangkok Michelin Bus Food Tour
Sawadeekrup! Welcome to Thailand and prepare yourself for a month long Songkran 2024 festival. I was in Bangkok in March and experienced this bus food tour at Yaowarat. So you will board the bus at River City and you get to taste Michelin recommended food on the bus, catered from the restaurants and served to you. It was a fun experience and I took the dinner time slot to enjoy the sunset too. The roads were congested so the bus could go slow and you can enjoy the views better. 10/10 recommend to try it!
A secret tip for you, sit on the right side of the bus for better views.

🇭🇰🏨 Vlog Dorsett Mongkok Hong Kong
Chinese name: 香港旺角帝盛酒店
Address: 88 Tai Kok Tsui Rd, Tai Kok Tsui, Hong Kong
A comfort room with 18sqm in size with personal bathroom, tv and fridge. This is one of the affordable and nicer hotels in Hong Kong. Dorsett Mongkok also provide hourly shuttle buses to nearest MTR and Kowloon station, it is so convenient and it is a 2 way pickup/drop off service. You can use the shuttle to come to the hotel too as long you catch it on time. The distance to the nearest MTR is about 10 to 12 minutes if you walk. There are also many eateries and shops in the neighbourhood. It is super easy to get taxi in this area too.

🇯🇵Tokyo APA Hotel at Asakusabashi
This is another hack to get more space in Tokyo hotels. Other than moving away from popular districts like Shinjuku and Ginza, you can book an accessible room which can allow wheelchair users more space for movement. There is no need to produce any forms of certification to book this room type.
You can try APA Hotel and look for their accessible rooms in some branches.
At APA Hotel Asakusabashi Ekimae, even the bathtub is also larger than the usual size and it can even fit an area for a small living room. I am also glad that the bed is accessible from both sides, instead of one side is next to the wall.
There are plenty of space and even a wardrobe for clothes and luggage. There is no need to worry about in a 20sqm room which has been designed efficiently to maximize space.

🇯🇵Tokyo Robot Hotel Asakusabashi
When you arrive at Henn na Hotel Asakusabashi in Tokyo, you have to do almost everything by yourself. However you can get help from a real staff via the phone at the lobby. I did not need help because everything is really easy and all information are available in English. You can find free luggage lockers on level 1 and 2 at the hotel to keep your luggage before official check in time at 3pm and after check out time at 12 noon. Then you can use the self service kiosk to check in and receive your room key. There are several languages to select and the robot receptionist will assist you at every step. It is a new experience for me and the robots are so friendly.

🇭🇰 🏨 Dorsett Mongkok Hong Kong
Chinese name: 香港旺角帝盛酒店
Address: 88 Tai Kok Tsui Rd, Tai Kok Tsui, Hong Kong
I got a good rate of $75/night for my Dorsett Mongkok and I stayed 2 nights in this property. My room was facing the primary school on the opposite road so my views were unblocked. The window even had a window bench and I could do reading by the window too. The housekeeping was very prompt and even asked me if I need to do cleaning when they saw me exiting the room. I left the do not disturb on so they waited for me outside my room. I appreciate the staff here at Dorsett Mongkok because they have excellent customer service.

🇯🇵 Henn na Hotel Asakusabashi
Address: 1 Chome-27-9 Asakusabashi, Taito City, Tokyo 111-0053, Japan
My challenge is to try out the easily accessible hotels on the Asakusa Metro Line and Asakusabashi station is one of my selected areas. This is also the most convenient and cheapest train line to go to both Narita and Haneda airport. You can find out their express train timing and you do not have to transfer trains from Asakusa Metro Line to Keisei Line.
I shall leave you to view my vlog of this futuristic hotel served by robot receptionist and the LG Styler wardrobe in the room is awesome. I got this double room with breakfast for 2 nights stay in March 2024 on Trip.com for $189 and it was a berry awesome deal.

🇨🇳🚆 China railway 12306
Chinese name: 中国铁路12306
This is a very good tutorial on how to buy China train tickets if you cannot buy it on Trip app. I had delegated the train ticket purchasing to Trip app but my train ticket category was sold out and I also did not get assigned my preferred seat for other category. So I had to initiate a refund and then buy it myself using China railway 12306.
It is easy to register for an account by using your email address and you can add in your companion passport details as well. You can make the payment with your Singapore version Alipay which you have already linked it to a credit/debit card of your choice.
The train tickets purchasing period will open 14/15 days in advance and if you are heading to Harbin, I will suggest taking the train from other cities or direct flight from Singapore.

🇨🇳 云洞图书馆 Haikou Wormhole Library
What a beautiful sunny day in Haikou Hainan.
I bought my air tickets on Trip.com and I arrived at Meilan International airport within 4 hours ish. It is also super easy to get around here and you can even use their ride hailing app to move around. I did not have a local mobile number and I also can use this app.
This 云洞图书馆 Haikou Wormhole Library open recently and it is a library by the seaside. You can enjoy spectacular views and the sunset here is awesome.
I hope I can revisit Hainan very soon.

🇹🇭 How to go to lyf Sukhumvit
This new branch of lyf Sukhumvit 8 Bangkok is in a super location, just within walking distance from Nana station on the BTS line. So you can come here easily from Suvarnabhumi airport by taking the Airport Railway and transfer to BTS. This area also has many eateries, cafes, spa places and shopping centers. Just across the main street is Allez Sukhumvit and many high-class hotels too. You will be able to find many things to do here. I will return to stay here again.

🇹🇭Rooftop Garden @ lyf Sukhumvit 8 Bangkok
This is a hidden area and not many guests know about it. You also cannot access it via the lifts and you will need to navigate the stairs to come up to the rooftop level. This area has been decorated with nice green grass patches, chill area for guests and a workout area. It is more comfortable to come here in the evening when it is less sunny. Do not get frightened when you spot these cute wall murals at the staircase area because you are heading in the correct direction.

🇹🇭 One of A Kind Studio @ lyf Sukhumvit
The concept of lyf Sukhumvit 8 Bangkok is co-living but at the same time each room is an en-suite which means you will have your personal toilet and shower room. It is entirely different from being a hostel.
At lyf hotel, the prices tend to be lower than a hotel but it can be much more fun because of the shared facilities. I was expecting more young people to stay here at lyf but I saw many older couples and aunties and uncles stayed here too.
My room is on the second floor so I can take the lift or the staircase easily.
I wish to try other other lyf hotels and more new room types in 2024.

🇹🇭 Lobby @ lyf Sukhumvit 8 Bangkok
The lobby at lyf Sukhumvit 8 Bangkok is very trendy and it is also a spacious place to accommodate all guests. This is their socializing place and you can access to the shared facilities and even cook your own meals too. It is airy with high ceiling and plenty of space for any activities. This is also why the rooms at lyf Sukhumvit 8 Bangkok are meant to be small so you can spend more time mingling at the lobby. All their hotels concept is the same throughout all their branches.

✈️ Terminal 4 Changi Airport
I wish for more travels in 2024 ✈️
I have been departing from Terminal 4 at Changi Airport these few months.
All thanks to the promotion given on Trip.com and I bought many Air Asia budget airlines to fly within South Eat Asia.
Terminal 4 is not connected to the Changi Airport MRT station but there are free shuttle buses to come here so it is convenient. But if you are travelling in groups or have heavy luggage then taking a taxi will be easier.
In Terminal 4, there are more automated systems and you can just enter the transit area by scanning your passport and e-boarding pass.

🎃 Halloween Horror Night 11
The best dressed events at Universal Studios Singapore will be Halloween and Christmas. I went to Halloween Horror Nights season 11 on 26 October and it was so fun and scary at the same time. The scare zones were less crowded because there was no need to wait for your turn. Everyone had to walk in the same directions and the scare actors would ambush you. There would be no touching zone to safeguard the scare actors and guests. Lights sticks are not allowed too in case of blinding visions. I am looking forward to my next USS Halloween trip.

Shangri-La Singapore Horizon lounge
If you have only 1 chance to stay at Shangri-La Singapore then choose their Tower wing executive club room to enjoy yourself. If you are a serious drinker then choose their Valley Wing executive club room to drink like a fish. There are plenty of food during canape hour and snacks are available throughout the operating hours at the lounge. You can keep eating and drinking and have a great time. It is also a great way to spend time by yourself to relax especially if you have limited time and do not wish to travel overseas.
