Bahasa l English Thailand is undoubtedly a must-see vacation during the Songkran season in April. Of course, this time I didn't pass up the opportunity to experience the excitement of the water festival, which is always packed with people from around the world. Taking place from April 12 to 15, 2025, people assemble, particularly in the Silom region, for a car-free day from 1:00 to 9:00 p.m., where everyone brings water guns, from children to adults, and enjoys the water shooting game, which gives laughter and fun. On this occasion, I always seek out and sample a variety of culinary delights from unique or popular shops, restaurants, and cafés throughout Bangkok. As is customary, I create an itinerary before embarking on a vacation to better manage my schedule and destinations to visit. Of course, there will be intriguing locations we pass while visiting some streets around downtown. Well, this time I'm sharing a variety of culinary experiences in Bangkok, ranging from th...

Bahasa l English  With a wide range of activities, shopping, cultural tourism, and delicious cuisine ranging from street food to Michelin Star restaurants, Thailand has always been a popular travel destination. This time, instead of going to a Thai restaurant, I went to an Indian restaurant with a Michelin star. This restaurant is nestled away around a residential area on a small road, not obvious to be seen from the main road. The purpose of Haoma is sustainability through the use of only locally sourced ingredients, which the restaurant produces on-site with a small farm and garden. This is an extremely intriguing concept. Despite the mostly black decor, the restaurant area is well-lit and cozy, with glass enclosing the entire room. There is not a large amount of seating, and the environment is more intimate. Lunchtime traffic isn't too bad, but reservations are recommended. There is a fixed lunch menu consisting of 6 courses, with the choice of regular or vegetarian fare. We ar...

Bahasa l English It took me a while, but I was eventually able to visit Chiang Mai again. Chiang Mai is a popular tourist destination in northern Thailand. Chiang Mai is less crowded with cars and has a more relaxed vibe than Bangkok. As is customary, I am naturally excited about culinary hunting, about which there is even excellent news the Michelin Guide operates here. This city has about fifty dining options listed in the Michelin Guide, yet none of them have earned a single star. The only options available here are the Michelin Plate and Bib Gourmand. As you read on, I'll talk about my visits to various restaurants during this trip to Chiang Mai. 1. Han Thueng ( ฮ้านถึงเจียงใหม่) Following a visit to Doi Suthep, the well-known temple complex in Chiang Mai that is a must-see location for travelers. You can stop by Han Teung, a store located near the Wat Umong temple, on your route back into the city. A modest store that is mostly occupied by local Thai people during lunchtime a...

Bahasa l English So happy that the opportunity to travel to Thailand is wide open for Indonesian citizens after the pandemic era for more than 2 years. A little information for you, for now, you don't even need to fill out an arrival card when you arrive in Thailand for Indonesian citizens. Various airlines are available, both direct and transit from Jakarta. On this trip, of course, I took advantage of the time to explore Thai culinary delights, which have always been my favorite. One of the things that travelers pay attention to when visiting Bangkok is the cuisine where the name Michelin Guide, an award event given to culinary entrepreneurs, is one of the extraordinary tourist attractions. Of course, there are many fine Michelin Star restaurants, but don't miss the many food stalls with the Michelin Bib Gourmand award in this city. Let's read further to find out what it is: 1. Somtum Khun Kan The story begins with a small shop in Mueang Thong Tani, thanks to which winni...
