I have travelled with White Magic for almost 10 years, having adventures and making amazing memories, and I’ve reviewed them here before. If you search in the blog for “White Magic” you’ll find a handful of reviews over the years, but here’s a link to my very first review, after …
Today I learned that the Thai word “chom” means to see, watch or look. And since “Chom Arun”, the pretty restaurant where we had lunch today, is situated bang opposite the iconic Wat Arun, on Bangkok’s Chao Phraya river, the name couldn’t be better chosen. I can imagine this being …
On our just-concluded 4,500km road trip down to Karnataka, we overnighted in this delightful little hotel in Maheshwar and what a sweet, quirky place it is. Butbefore I go any further, the main thing you need to know is that the rooms in Labboo’z are small. At 19 square metres, …
