First day in Bangkok, we checked out the famous weekend market – Chatuchak Market AKA JJ Market.
It is not always true when they say “you only need half a day to explore there”, such as places like Chefchaouen or Galle fort. It looked so beautiful (and so different from any other time of the day) when Lily and I went there at sunrise when the whole village was empty, and we took photos the whole morning around The Blue Pearl village untill all the tourists suddenly come afterwards. We really wished we could spent more time there, 2 days were not even enough for us to explore all the hidden laneways.
So Adam and I decided to “do it again” when we heard ” you only need a few hours there” for Galle Dutch fort.
Nine Arches Bridge links Ella and Demodara train station is famous for its architectural ingenuity and its similarity with the bridge towards Hogwarts in Harry Potter movies. We were so lucky to witness this beauty in Ella. The Nine Arches Bridge is about 15 minutes by tuktuk from Ella town, the price for tuktuk should be less than 700 LKR (around 3 euro) one way, but I heard you can negotiate the price even more! Also you can ask for a discount if you book the tuktuk for return trip.
Checking in at the BaBa Beach Club Phuket! A brand new resort and club on the very north of Phuket, where we get to party all day and night outside or inside the big pool! And of course, you can also pick the little piece of heaven of yours far away from the big fat base and chill inside your ocean front beach villa. Yes, the BaBa Beach Club has its own private beach and the villas are right there!
The entire exterior of the beach club is styled in Chinese style.

KK BEACH NEAR GALLE, SRI LANKA
February 8, 2018
On the second day, we travelled to KK’s new hotel on the beach – KK Beach Hotel. It is just a short fifteen-minute drive from Kahanda Kanda Hotel, where Adam and I stayed for our first night in Sri Lanka. Located on the west side of Habaraduwa, KK beach hotel is just 12km from Galle. There is a free ‘tuk- tuk’ shuttle for guests wishing to go for lunch or dinner at Kahanda Kanda, and guests from KK Beach can of course enjoy a free shuttle service if coming to KK Beach for lunch or dinner. The underlying factors for both hotels include the overall quality of the luxury experience that is delivered and the high level of personal service offered to guests by warm and friendly staff, not to mention their constant attention to detail.
