7 Things to Do in Chiang Mai Over The Weekend

by / 2 comments

San Pareni Chiangmai

Chiang Mai is the only city in Thailand that made it to Tripadvisor’s 2012 list of 25 best destinations in the World. My friends and I had the time of our lives in the biggest city of Northern Thailand, swinging across from tree to tree on zip lines, driving ATVs along the edges of steep mountains and white water rafting down rapids of a valley.

As dawn approached, we enjoyed a breathtaking panorama view of the city on a hilltop restaurant before shopping at late night markets. Refusing to call it a night, we partied away in Chiang Mai’s swankiest club and finally rested in a newly opened boutique hotel. If you want a short vacation filled with exciting activities, this is the ideal place to visit!

Here are 7 things to do in Chiang Mai over a weekend.

Taichung Travel Guide

Taiwan is a fantastic country with rich history, friendly locals, amazing street food and beautiful landscape. Most visitors usually only go to Taipei, and it is a shame because there are many other cities that are worth visiting.

Taichung, for instance, is a wonderful holiday destination. For a start, it is only an hour away from Taoyuen International Airport. From there, you can easily make day trips to other places like Kaohsiung, Tainan and Changhua. The main draw for tourists is Feng Chia Night Market – one of the biggest, if not the biggest, night markets in Taiwan. There are many things to see, do and eat in Taichung. The next time you plan a trip to Taiwan, you have to include Taichung in your itinerary.

Here is a travel guide on the things to do in Taichung.

Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort

Sheraton Kuta Bali

I had the privilege of flying to Bali and was hosted at Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort for a short but much needed respite.

There are many reasons to love Sheraton — contemporary Balinese interior of the resort, well-furnished rooms that promise a comfortable stay, friendly staff who are always ready to go the extra mile just to make sure everything is in place for the guests, and partake in Sheraton’s Social hour (a wine program which allows guests to sample tasting selections of wine from 5pm to 7pm daily) — but above all, it is my top choice because of its proximity to the beach. It is just a stone’s throw away from surfers’ paradise and if your life ambition is to be a beach bum like me, lodging at Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort is, without a doubt, your best bet.

Editor’s Note June 2013

by / No Comments

Cherry Blossom

With two back-to-back work trips, May flew by just like that, and we are already saying hello to June. To many typical Singaporean families, June is a jolly month because the kids are on holidays and travelling is only possible at periods as such. Well, even if you are swinging single, why not pamper yourself with a shopping holiday? For couples, you would have even more options because there are just too many spots on the globe to cover.

In the month of April, my theme was Travel, and I shared various travel-related articles that were all so well-received. We are truly humbled by the overwhelming response, and because we are still seeing the world as we write, we have so much more to share. And since we are still getting many travel-related emails, ladyironchef is going to do an encore this June and bring back the hubbub about Travel.

This time round, except more city overviews, eating spots around the world and staycation features within Singapore. Whether you already have trips planned, or looking to do a last minute getaway, we hope our articles will ignite the wanderlust bug in you and get you off to a fulfilling month of seeing the world.

Remember – the world is your oyster. Have a splendid June! Join us on our journey – on instagram, twitter and facebook – as we travel around the world.

Symmetry Cafe Singapore

Symmetry

It seems like a new brunch spot opens every other week, so it is surprising to see Symmetry doing a roaring business for weekend brunch despite its out-of-the-way location at 9 Jalan Kubor.

Symmetry is beautiful in a rustic sort of way. The brick walls and dim lights lend a cosy feel to it, making it perfect for a lazy weekend brunch.

Orchard Health Clinic

I have been having shoulder and neck problems for a few years, but I did not seek help as I brushed it off, thinking it was just a trivial issue. Earlier in February this year, I started going to Orchard Health Clinic to consult Dr Martin John. Dr Martin specialises in osteopathy and uses techniques such as soft tissue massage, osteopathic manipulation, joint articulation and muscle energy.

I am currently undergoing a regimed programme to treat my problems, and with his expertise, my condition is improving slowly but surely. Dedicated treatments twice a week and constant reminders from the expert on how to take care of myself, this experience has been so beneficial, and I will be documenting my journey for sharing purposes as I continue to get my condition treated.

I truly believe that Dr Martin is the person to go to if you have any neck, back or joints problems. Orchard Health Clinic is located at #07-22 Park Mall, and you can email them at [email protected] or give them a call at +65 6336 9577.
