Roads are closed to traffic by mid-afternoon and stall owners set up shop in the centre, leaving two walking paths at the side. I must admit that after visiting Chillva Market and Naka … More Review: Lard Yai Sunday Walking Street Market, Thalang Road (Phuket, Thailand)

November 20, 2024

December 2020 marked the opening of Dusit Thani Laguna Hotel, Dusit International’s very first property in Singapore. Situated within the Laguna National Golf Resort Club, I imagine it’d be a hotel of choice for avid golfers wanting easy access to the two 18-hole championship courses.
