Living in the Moment

Sompong Thai Cooking Class banner

If you've visited Bangkok many times now, you'll eventually run out of things to visit the first time. I mean, food is probably one of the reasons you'll visit Bangkok countless times but if you're into new stuff and exploring new places most of the time, then the third vacation in Bangkok would probably bore you already. I'm not saying I got bored during our vacation in Bangkok because I totally did enjoy but of course, I am one of those people who wants to experience something new whenever they go on vacations.

The beauty of Shwedagon pagoda

I'm excited to share with you the final stretch of my Southeast Asia bucket list!!! If you're reading my blog way back 2016, you would know that I am trying to visit all Southeast Asian countries and guess what?! I've finally visited it all!! (Except Brunei and East Timor) Visiting it all (okay maybe not all but I'd like to think it was all, lol) wasn't really my plan when I got hooked up on traveling. I just wanted to experience the culture and explore new cities until I realized that if I wanted to connect the history piece by piece of these countries, I really need to visit it all. My goal was to finish it all before I turn 30 but I was able to visit it all a week before my 25th birthday (Bali, Indonesia is the last location and Myanmar being 2nd to the last).

Vendor at Damnoen Saduak Floating Market

I've been to Bangkok a lot of times but this is my first time visiting Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. And by far, this is one of the nicest floating markets I've been to. It is literally, a "FLOATING MARKET" where people can buy goods from the sellers in the boats. When I first went to Ho Chi Minh, we are told that we will be seeing a floating market in the Mekong River but what we imagined was different from the actual floating market they have there.

Luang Prabang, Laos

Luang Prabang is a small province but definitely has a big history to boast. I never thought I will be able to visit Laos anytime soon as this country doesn't have a direct flight from Manila. I also know no one who already went to this country so I was quite excited to incorporate this place in our backpacking tour around some countries in Indochina. What I know when planning this trip was I just have to create an itinerary that will let us travel to different Southeast Asian countries, and by Southeast Asian countries, I mean Cambodia, Myanmar, and Thailand.

From Getting Ripped off in Hanoi to Struggling to Change Money and Almost Losing my Passport in Luang Prabang

I'm writing this on my iPad's note app. We're currently here in Luang Prabang and it's 11:14 PM local time as I write this. (If you're reading this, I am probably already home) Well.. This is our second day touring. We're supposed to tour Hanoi, Luang Prabang, Vientiane, and Bangkok. 

We left Hanoi this afternoon and well... This day was all sorts of misadventure. Our first day in Hanoi was fun. Really fun. We saw Hoan Kiem Lake, watched Water Puppet Show (my second time to watch, the first one was when we visited Ho Chi Minh city last 2015), watched the locals, and eat Vietnamese food.

Living in the Moment - Hanoi, Vietnam

11:58AM local time of Hanoi, plane going back to Manila. 

This trip was superb! In a sense that I experienced a lot of mishaps but at the same time had a lot of fun. I got to learn a lot. Like, really a L O T. And as much as it bores me to death going to museums and different history specific establishments, it pays to know where the nation has come from as it says a lot about where the country is today. I personally believe Vietnam is a great country and with great food too! (no brainer) And I don't mind eating lots of Pho for the rest my life if it means getting also to eat other Vietnamese food and a good Ca Phe Sua Da (Vietnamese coffee: black roasted coffee with condensed milk)
