2018 May. Bali. Seminyak. Ubud. Hanging Gardens. Indonesia.

The Bali trip planned for Dec 2017 but disrupted by Mt Agung eruption happened in the following May instead.

Not expecting much, I was pleasantly attracted to the laid back vibes of Chiang Rai, and revisited again in 2019 (see Part II). Continue Reading

Made another trip in Aug 2019 over National Day long weekend without much planning. This blog post can be read as a continuation of the previous post in 2017 Part I. Continue Reading
