A Little Gem Outside Bangkok @ Khao Yai - Day 3 &4

1. Scenical Khao Yai 

Amusement park is always the happiest place for kids and adults. Khao Yai has a outdoor amusement park and a water park, yes nestled in the scenic mountainous region. How cool is that!

The amusement park  was located within a short distance from our hotel @ Botanica Khao Yai and the hotel provides free shuttle to and from the park upon our requests.

The amusement park has over 20 types of adventurous rides and activities. Highlights for the younger ones include the old-time Gold Rush Train, the Bubble Bumper boats, Kiddie Town car driving course, slope-slides and carousel. For older kids who are thrill seekers, there are Zorb balls that roll downhill, Go Kart, and large pendulum swing type rides. 















The rides are charged based on the number of tokens. Overall, I would say the rides are considered reasonably priced. The kids even repeated some of their rides since there weren't many people and hence no queue required. 

I would advised to go early in the morning where the weather is cooler. Since this is a outdoor amusement park, it gets hotter by mid-noon. Three hours would be sufficient to enjoy most of the rides. 

2. Rest and Relax @ Botanica Khao Yai 

I'be mentioned how much I love my room and huge balcony facing the paranormal mountain view. It would be a waste not to spend some time at the resort to relax and recharge. Hence, we decided to spend the afternoon swimming in the infinity pool and getting cosy in our room till dinner time. 





We had our dinner at the resort restaurant and the food was amazingly good. The kids had pasta and burger whereas my hubby had his sirloin steak. As for me, the green curry really spiced up my taste bud. Overall, the dinner was lovely and the ambiance was cosy as well. 











3. Chok Chai Moo Moo Farm 

On the 4th day, we checked out our lovely hotel and headed to Farm Chok Chai for the morning tour. Farm Chok Chai is a very established and commercialized farm located in Pak Chong Road. The farm provides farm tour which started with a video introduction about the farm and pride itself for producing bottles of milk sold throughout Thailand. At farm Chok Chai, there were many activities such as bottle feeding the cows, opportunity to milk the cows, horse riding and lastly animal shows. 

We started the tour by getting on the tractor wagon which took us around the farm. We were given a brief introduction on the milking process and even got to taste the ice-cream freshly produced from the factory. Then we proceeded to take some photographs at the grassland before ending our tour with a fantastic animal show. Overall, I find that the tour is quite organised.

Mauritius, An Island of Emotion

Mauritius, is an island nation in the Indian Ocean off the southeast coast of the African continent. Together with my Diva friend, we travelled to Mauritius in 2014 for our first ever girls trip or what we called as our "Elephant & Hippo Honeymoon". Although Mauritius is an island, the entire island is at least twice bigger than Singapore. Flights to Mauritius are somewhat limited. The airlines that flew to Mauritius include Air Mauritius, Emirates, British Airway and Air France. From Singapore, it took about 10 hours to reach Mauritius, including an hour transit at KL. Despite the long haul flight, I would say Mauritius is worth the visit at least once in your lifetime. I'm glad to have traveled with my Diva friend to this exotic place.

Jeju, an island of love and romance Day 2

From its summery island beaches to its statuesque Hallasan Mountain, verdant O'Sulloc green tea fields, and its iconic Sunrise Peak @ Seongsan IIchubang, Jeju Island is an icon in South Korea. Not forgetting the famous Jeju tangerine, a citrus fruit lauded across Jeju island at large. Hence, we decided to go to a local tangerine farm to find out.  I couldn't quite remember the name of the tangerine farm but it took us quite some time to locate it. The farm was near a neighborhood where every household grew their own tangerine trees at their yard/garden. It was quite a sight as this was my first time seeing a tangerine tree.  Anyway, if you like oranges and the idea of trampling through the orchards in search of that perfect fruit, then you've got to come during the tangerine season (which is like from November onwards). Tangerine picking in my opinion is quite an inexpensive activity in Jeju. We googled this tangerine farm not far from the city where tourists and...

Mauritius, An Island Of Emotion @ Chamarel, Black River Gorges and great Seafood lunch

1. Seven Coloured Earth @ Charamel The Seven Coloured Earth is a geological formation and prominent tourist attraction found in the Chamarel Plain of Riviere Noire District in South-western Mauritius. How interesting!   It is in fact a relatively small area of sand dunes comprising sand of seven distinct colours (i.e. red, brown, violet, green, blue, purple and yellow). In fact, the colours are dependent on the sunlight. The main feature of the place is that since these differently coloured sands spontaneously settle in different layers, dunes acquire a surrealistic, striped colouring. At the entrance of the Seven Coloured Earth, there is this beautiful Chamarel Waterfall. Although this is not the most magnificent waterfall that I've seen, this waterfall is the highest in Mauritius.  Pineapples sticking out from the bushes  Red Pineabpple, How Unique  Chamarel Waterfall The Chamarel also has quite a number of gigantic tur...
