After You Dessert Cafe in Bangkok, Central World

This time round, third time visit to Bangkok definitely wanted to try something different. So - It's "Cafe-hopping". Managed to read up some blogs and planned up my itinerary before going. If you ever need my itinerary, please let me know.

First stop: After You Dessert Cafe in Central World.

P/S: There are actually several branches around in Bangkok. You may find via their Facebook or Website.

Basically this is how the inner look of the Cafe looks like. Cosy and spacious too.

Strawberry Crepe - This is pretty normal though, but if you are a strawberry lover, can give it a try. It has rich strawberry taste in it.

Buttermilk Pancake - MUST TRY TOO! Their pancake is fluffy, together with Salted Butter Cream. Total awesome combination!

Chocolate Toast Banana with Vanilla Ice Cream- This is awesome! Must try, and would advise to share between 2-3 pax. Rather big portion for individual though.

Hot Nutella - Sweet enough, and to go with the piece of butter biscuit. Good to try.

Price Breakdown - Acceptable or rather standard cafe price.

There are several branches to check it out. Definitely worth giving it a visit when in Bangkok.

Good day! ^^

Chiangmai Trip - Day 3, Part 1 [Doi Inthanon and Maesa Elephant Camp]

Chiangmai

Finally I have some time to continue blogging after exam, so let's continue on my Chiangmai trip. Day 3 started earlier as we have quite a number of places to go. So we left hotel around 7am in the morning.

First destination: Doi Inthanon National Park

Yes! Basically the temperature that morning was only 12 Degrees Celcius. Shiok or what!!

So cold till no choice, but to drink hot coffee/chocolate.

The hot chocolate is nice!! Not so sweet but enough taste there.

Actually basically there got nothing much, more for climbers to hike etc. So we headed to another place near the summit area, another 10 mins drive only.

No filter. It's awesome right! ^^

Then we headed to another place near also, 5 mins drive only. With spectacular waterfall and scenery.

Next, we are heading to Maesa Elephant Camp, which took us about another 2 hours ride.

You may get to see elephants with tourists on them passby.

Now get ready for elephant show!!! Don't ever miss this, it is a great experience to seeing elephants doing things that you might not ever imagine them doing so.

And each elephant will greet everybody, with cute gestures.

Helping their trainer with putting on the hat.

Elephant getting ready for free kick!! and GOALLLLL! ~

And yes, they knew how to draw!! WOW!

Final artpiece~~~

And they definitely know how to play basketball too. HAHA

Once show has ended, the elephants will goes around to take photos with the tourists, or rather we pay to take photo with them. It serves as tip service to the trainers instead.

Yes, just like that!

And queued for the elephant ride. Of course, need to pay.

Up slope is scary ~

They will pause at certain spot to help you take photos.

Conclusion: My thought at that time was that it seems to be rather cruel to be riding on them, as there are times when you might see trainers using 'canes' on them. It seems to be so hurtful to them. But I would like to try once and only to know how it feels exactly to be riding on it. Sorry though, if this is making anyone feeling uncomfortable etc. But in any case, if you are interested in the elephant rides, you might need to purchase tickets in advance. Once is enough to gain an experience, not more than that.

Next, I will be updating on the lunch and dinner we had on the 3rd day of trip. Please look forward to my updates. Meanwhile, thanks for reading my blog. Cheers!

Chiangmai Trip - Day 2, Part 3 [Sunday Night Market]

Chiangmai

Hi everybody! Sorry for the long-lost updated post. Lets continue on Chiangmai then - still on Day 2, Part 3. After all the temples, we headed over to the Sunday night marker. Actually there isnt much difference between Saturday and Sunday night market. The crowds are still acceptable when we were there around 5 plus SG time. After that, super crowded. Surprisingly, there are many angmohs too. I suppose cos there are many drinking pubs around too.
