DESCRIPTION
WATER LAND IN 1995’s colossal blockbuster failure ‘Waterworld’ starring Kevin Costner, a world is illustrated set in the future where the polar ice caps had melted and most of the Earth is underwater. A mutated mariner fights starvation and outlaws ‘smokers,’ and reluctantly helps a woman and a young girl try to find dry land.TRANSCRIPT

assport to Suvannaphoum is the result of a group of Chiang Mai peoplersquos passion for Lanna art and Southeast Asian culture and was established in
Chiang Mai to feature English and Japanese languages created by a Thai team keen to showcase something new about Southeast Asian travel every month
many people would ask what lsquoSuvannaphoumrsquo meant It is a controversial matter to identify the real Suvannaphoum area as there are many different stories of this word found across the region We have no conclusive evidence about the exact location and simply created content based on our extensive research lsquoSuvannaphoumrsquo means the golden land and when the Suvarnabhummi International Airport was established this word became well known (although we had nothing to do with the airportrsquos corrupt construction)Throughout our existence we have discovered new
passions received good and bad feedback enjoyed marketing success and lived through severe economic
passion and happiness and thatrsquos why wersquove survived for a decadeIt is thus with a heavy heart that I as the founder
of Passport to Suvannaphoum and representative of this
something new and improved in the near future During this time we will remain active serving the local
lsquoFINE DAErsquo (see more on pages 70-shy71)Finally we have to say a big thank you to all our
readers and customers that have supported us We are committed to coming back stronger and with better content in the future

hen I visited Siem Reap late last year it was the period of the
downtown places were under water Siem Reap was also affected Tourists had to roll up their long trouser legs to walk along the submerged streets of the colonial buildings downtown Furthermore ancient Khmer places such as Bantray Srei and the passage way to Angkor Thom were flooded However one of the attractions locals were not worried about was Kompong Phluk Floating VillagePositioned in Siem Reap in the northern central part of Cambodia
developed into a tourist attraction something that took place once Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom became fully opened to travelers There are three main areas open to visitors touristy and easily
and the stilted community of Kompong Khleang Itrsquos about a 20 minutes drive or 16 kilometers to downtown
where a farmer village is situated along the lake Boat tickets are available at the village for 20 dollars and takes about 45 minutes
direction twice a year and the portion that forms the lake expands and shrinks dramatically with the seasons From November to May Cambodiarsquos dry season the Tonle Sap drains into the Mekong River at Phnom Penh So during this season the floating village
you can see the high bamboo cellars of the houses Itrsquos a very strange ambience and one you can experience by visiting Lompong Phluk
state the rainy season is the best time to visit From June the Tonle Sap will back up to form an enormous lake and the high cellars of the houses in the Kompong Phluk will also back to their original form

When I arrived at the dock I was led into a small boat with a driver (the ship has no tour guide so if you want to learn something bring your own personal tour guide) As you may be aware Cambodia is in the midst of recovering
I was about to visit a heavily affected area Nevertheless the trip went well The ship brought me and three other companions from the west to the main route of the village where many shops restaurants and houses are in a state of water-shyassisted elevation The village has all the basic facilities for its residents -shy a temple a stupa to keep the ashes of the departed a monastery and schools There is no western hospital and the people opt for traditional medicines to treat minor illnesses only in serious cases do they go to a hospital in Siem Reap The government of main route

eparating Little India and China Town the Malacca
many ancient places as well as a modern monorail Every day and all year round both locals and foreigners come to soak in its history and diverse architecture along its banks in the form of old churches mosques bridges clan houses warehouses temples and villages that have withstood the test of time
The Malacca River cruise is the biggest surprise The muddy murky water is now quite clear with a tinge of emerald green Clean embankments on both sides stretch for several kilometres The river has also been widened and a mechanical device installed to control the depth of the water The idea was to make the river completely pollution-free so as to develop exquisite gardens on its banks and pave the pedestrian pathways to perfection
Along the way you will have a chance to experience the multi-cultural and historical fabric of the country
One can even see the Malacca tree under which Parameswara was so inspired by the sight of a mouse deer kicking a dog that he named the place lsquoMalaccarsquo
There are two types of cruises One offers recorded commentaries and the other has a tour guide on board The approximate touring time for the cruise is about 45 minutes travelling 9 kilometers from the Quayside Heritage Centre to Taman Rempah Pangkalan Rama The boats are available daily at thirty minute intervals between the following times 930 am to 5 pm and 6 pm to 1130 pm

trip on the extraordinary cities and monuments of urban Vietnam a visit to Ha Long Bay will leave you in no doubt that Vietnam also boasts some of the most beautiful natural sceneries in the world The bay features thousands of limestone karsts and isles in various sizes and shapes The Ha Long bay dotted with some 2000 limestone islets rising from emerald waters is the best known natural wonder of Vietnam The islands were formed from limestone sediments deposited at the bottom of an ancient ocean As the seas rose and fell over millennia the soft limestone was easily shaped into the towering monoliths we see today The forces of erosion also riddled the islands with caves more than 20 of which are open to tourists The islands feature endless numbers of beaches grottoes and caves
The best time to visit Ha Long Bay is from May to October when visibility is at its best although itrsquos also the hottest time of the year The easiest way to visit Ha Long is to take a tour

a challenge Thankfully this is no longer the case as for the true taste of Thailand Pattana Fine Cuisine is the place to goSituated on Nimmanhaemin Road Soi 9 the restaurantrsquos
decoration is minimalist in style while the outdoor garden offers a shady dining place and the cool modern air-shyconditioned area is a relaxing alternative A great location is matched by excellent food created by an experienced chef who used to work in a famous restaurant in Phuket Many menus have a distinct southern
the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

hen I visited Siem Reap late last year it was the period of the
downtown places were under water Siem Reap was also affected Tourists had to roll up their long trouser legs to walk along the submerged streets of the colonial buildings downtown Furthermore ancient Khmer places such as Bantray Srei and the passage way to Angkor Thom were flooded However one of the attractions locals were not worried about was Kompong Phluk Floating VillagePositioned in Siem Reap in the northern central part of Cambodia
developed into a tourist attraction something that took place once Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom became fully opened to travelers There are three main areas open to visitors touristy and easily
and the stilted community of Kompong Khleang Itrsquos about a 20 minutes drive or 16 kilometers to downtown
where a farmer village is situated along the lake Boat tickets are available at the village for 20 dollars and takes about 45 minutes
direction twice a year and the portion that forms the lake expands and shrinks dramatically with the seasons From November to May Cambodiarsquos dry season the Tonle Sap drains into the Mekong River at Phnom Penh So during this season the floating village
you can see the high bamboo cellars of the houses Itrsquos a very strange ambience and one you can experience by visiting Lompong Phluk
state the rainy season is the best time to visit From June the Tonle Sap will back up to form an enormous lake and the high cellars of the houses in the Kompong Phluk will also back to their original form

When I arrived at the dock I was led into a small boat with a driver (the ship has no tour guide so if you want to learn something bring your own personal tour guide) As you may be aware Cambodia is in the midst of recovering
I was about to visit a heavily affected area Nevertheless the trip went well The ship brought me and three other companions from the west to the main route of the village where many shops restaurants and houses are in a state of water-shyassisted elevation The village has all the basic facilities for its residents -shy a temple a stupa to keep the ashes of the departed a monastery and schools There is no western hospital and the people opt for traditional medicines to treat minor illnesses only in serious cases do they go to a hospital in Siem Reap The government of main route

eparating Little India and China Town the Malacca
many ancient places as well as a modern monorail Every day and all year round both locals and foreigners come to soak in its history and diverse architecture along its banks in the form of old churches mosques bridges clan houses warehouses temples and villages that have withstood the test of time
The Malacca River cruise is the biggest surprise The muddy murky water is now quite clear with a tinge of emerald green Clean embankments on both sides stretch for several kilometres The river has also been widened and a mechanical device installed to control the depth of the water The idea was to make the river completely pollution-free so as to develop exquisite gardens on its banks and pave the pedestrian pathways to perfection
Along the way you will have a chance to experience the multi-cultural and historical fabric of the country
One can even see the Malacca tree under which Parameswara was so inspired by the sight of a mouse deer kicking a dog that he named the place lsquoMalaccarsquo
There are two types of cruises One offers recorded commentaries and the other has a tour guide on board The approximate touring time for the cruise is about 45 minutes travelling 9 kilometers from the Quayside Heritage Centre to Taman Rempah Pangkalan Rama The boats are available daily at thirty minute intervals between the following times 930 am to 5 pm and 6 pm to 1130 pm

trip on the extraordinary cities and monuments of urban Vietnam a visit to Ha Long Bay will leave you in no doubt that Vietnam also boasts some of the most beautiful natural sceneries in the world The bay features thousands of limestone karsts and isles in various sizes and shapes The Ha Long bay dotted with some 2000 limestone islets rising from emerald waters is the best known natural wonder of Vietnam The islands were formed from limestone sediments deposited at the bottom of an ancient ocean As the seas rose and fell over millennia the soft limestone was easily shaped into the towering monoliths we see today The forces of erosion also riddled the islands with caves more than 20 of which are open to tourists The islands feature endless numbers of beaches grottoes and caves
The best time to visit Ha Long Bay is from May to October when visibility is at its best although itrsquos also the hottest time of the year The easiest way to visit Ha Long is to take a tour

a challenge Thankfully this is no longer the case as for the true taste of Thailand Pattana Fine Cuisine is the place to goSituated on Nimmanhaemin Road Soi 9 the restaurantrsquos
decoration is minimalist in style while the outdoor garden offers a shady dining place and the cool modern air-shyconditioned area is a relaxing alternative A great location is matched by excellent food created by an experienced chef who used to work in a famous restaurant in Phuket Many menus have a distinct southern
the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

hen I visited Siem Reap late last year it was the period of the
downtown places were under water Siem Reap was also affected Tourists had to roll up their long trouser legs to walk along the submerged streets of the colonial buildings downtown Furthermore ancient Khmer places such as Bantray Srei and the passage way to Angkor Thom were flooded However one of the attractions locals were not worried about was Kompong Phluk Floating VillagePositioned in Siem Reap in the northern central part of Cambodia
developed into a tourist attraction something that took place once Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom became fully opened to travelers There are three main areas open to visitors touristy and easily
and the stilted community of Kompong Khleang Itrsquos about a 20 minutes drive or 16 kilometers to downtown
where a farmer village is situated along the lake Boat tickets are available at the village for 20 dollars and takes about 45 minutes
direction twice a year and the portion that forms the lake expands and shrinks dramatically with the seasons From November to May Cambodiarsquos dry season the Tonle Sap drains into the Mekong River at Phnom Penh So during this season the floating village
you can see the high bamboo cellars of the houses Itrsquos a very strange ambience and one you can experience by visiting Lompong Phluk
state the rainy season is the best time to visit From June the Tonle Sap will back up to form an enormous lake and the high cellars of the houses in the Kompong Phluk will also back to their original form

When I arrived at the dock I was led into a small boat with a driver (the ship has no tour guide so if you want to learn something bring your own personal tour guide) As you may be aware Cambodia is in the midst of recovering
I was about to visit a heavily affected area Nevertheless the trip went well The ship brought me and three other companions from the west to the main route of the village where many shops restaurants and houses are in a state of water-shyassisted elevation The village has all the basic facilities for its residents -shy a temple a stupa to keep the ashes of the departed a monastery and schools There is no western hospital and the people opt for traditional medicines to treat minor illnesses only in serious cases do they go to a hospital in Siem Reap The government of main route

eparating Little India and China Town the Malacca
many ancient places as well as a modern monorail Every day and all year round both locals and foreigners come to soak in its history and diverse architecture along its banks in the form of old churches mosques bridges clan houses warehouses temples and villages that have withstood the test of time
The Malacca River cruise is the biggest surprise The muddy murky water is now quite clear with a tinge of emerald green Clean embankments on both sides stretch for several kilometres The river has also been widened and a mechanical device installed to control the depth of the water The idea was to make the river completely pollution-free so as to develop exquisite gardens on its banks and pave the pedestrian pathways to perfection
Along the way you will have a chance to experience the multi-cultural and historical fabric of the country
One can even see the Malacca tree under which Parameswara was so inspired by the sight of a mouse deer kicking a dog that he named the place lsquoMalaccarsquo
There are two types of cruises One offers recorded commentaries and the other has a tour guide on board The approximate touring time for the cruise is about 45 minutes travelling 9 kilometers from the Quayside Heritage Centre to Taman Rempah Pangkalan Rama The boats are available daily at thirty minute intervals between the following times 930 am to 5 pm and 6 pm to 1130 pm

trip on the extraordinary cities and monuments of urban Vietnam a visit to Ha Long Bay will leave you in no doubt that Vietnam also boasts some of the most beautiful natural sceneries in the world The bay features thousands of limestone karsts and isles in various sizes and shapes The Ha Long bay dotted with some 2000 limestone islets rising from emerald waters is the best known natural wonder of Vietnam The islands were formed from limestone sediments deposited at the bottom of an ancient ocean As the seas rose and fell over millennia the soft limestone was easily shaped into the towering monoliths we see today The forces of erosion also riddled the islands with caves more than 20 of which are open to tourists The islands feature endless numbers of beaches grottoes and caves
The best time to visit Ha Long Bay is from May to October when visibility is at its best although itrsquos also the hottest time of the year The easiest way to visit Ha Long is to take a tour

the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is

however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

Aerator to be patented under his name and the patent was issued on 2nd February 1993 It is the worldrsquos
issued to a monarch
At the 49th Brussels Eureka in November 2000 the Chaipattana Water Wheel won the Gold Medal from the Belgian Chamber of Inventor Organizations in BrusselsToday there is a welcome attraction in Belgiumrsquos

hen I visited Siem Reap late last year it was the period of the
downtown places were under water Siem Reap was also affected Tourists had to roll up their long trouser legs to walk along the submerged streets of the colonial buildings downtown Furthermore ancient Khmer places such as Bantray Srei and the passage way to Angkor Thom were flooded However one of the attractions locals were not worried about was Kompong Phluk Floating VillagePositioned in Siem Reap in the northern central part of Cambodia
developed into a tourist attraction something that took place once Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom became fully opened to travelers There are three main areas open to visitors touristy and easily
and the stilted community of Kompong Khleang Itrsquos about a 20 minutes drive or 16 kilometers to downtown
where a farmer village is situated along the lake Boat tickets are available at the village for 20 dollars and takes about 45 minutes
direction twice a year and the portion that forms the lake expands and shrinks dramatically with the seasons From November to May Cambodiarsquos dry season the Tonle Sap drains into the Mekong River at Phnom Penh So during this season the floating village
you can see the high bamboo cellars of the houses Itrsquos a very strange ambience and one you can experience by visiting Lompong Phluk
state the rainy season is the best time to visit From June the Tonle Sap will back up to form an enormous lake and the high cellars of the houses in the Kompong Phluk will also back to their original form

When I arrived at the dock I was led into a small boat with a driver (the ship has no tour guide so if you want to learn something bring your own personal tour guide) As you may be aware Cambodia is in the midst of recovering
I was about to visit a heavily affected area Nevertheless the trip went well The ship brought me and three other companions from the west to the main route of the village where many shops restaurants and houses are in a state of water-shyassisted elevation The village has all the basic facilities for its residents -shy a temple a stupa to keep the ashes of the departed a monastery and schools There is no western hospital and the people opt for traditional medicines to treat minor illnesses only in serious cases do they go to a hospital in Siem Reap The government of main route

eparating Little India and China Town the Malacca
many ancient places as well as a modern monorail Every day and all year round both locals and foreigners come to soak in its history and diverse architecture along its banks in the form of old churches mosques bridges clan houses warehouses temples and villages that have withstood the test of time
The Malacca River cruise is the biggest surprise The muddy murky water is now quite clear with a tinge of emerald green Clean embankments on both sides stretch for several kilometres The river has also been widened and a mechanical device installed to control the depth of the water The idea was to make the river completely pollution-free so as to develop exquisite gardens on its banks and pave the pedestrian pathways to perfection
Along the way you will have a chance to experience the multi-cultural and historical fabric of the country
One can even see the Malacca tree under which Parameswara was so inspired by the sight of a mouse deer kicking a dog that he named the place lsquoMalaccarsquo
There are two types of cruises One offers recorded commentaries and the other has a tour guide on board The approximate touring time for the cruise is about 45 minutes travelling 9 kilometers from the Quayside Heritage Centre to Taman Rempah Pangkalan Rama The boats are available daily at thirty minute intervals between the following times 930 am to 5 pm and 6 pm to 1130 pm

Malacca i s renowned for being a

trip on the extraordinary cities and monuments of urban Vietnam a visit to Ha Long Bay will leave you in no doubt that Vietnam also boasts some of the most beautiful natural sceneries in the world The bay features thousands of limestone karsts and isles in various sizes and shapes The Ha Long bay dotted with some 2000 limestone islets rising from emerald waters is the best known natural wonder of Vietnam The islands were formed from limestone sediments deposited at the bottom of an ancient ocean As the seas rose and fell over millennia the soft limestone was easily shaped into the towering monoliths we see today The forces of erosion also riddled the islands with caves more than 20 of which are open to tourists The islands feature endless numbers of beaches grottoes and caves
The best time to visit Ha Long Bay is from May to October when visibility is at its best although itrsquos also the hottest time of the year The easiest way to visit Ha Long is to take a tour

the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

jointly by the Chaipattana Foundation under His Majestyrsquos patronage and the Department of Irrigation It has become widely known as lsquothe Chaipattana Water Wheelrsquo a locally produced low-shycost machine
in treating water The Chaipattana Water Wheel plays an important role in purifying water ways thus provid-shying a safe habitat for animals and potable water for the arearsquos human populationHis Majesty graciously consented for the Chaipattana
Aerator to be patented under his name and the patent was issued on 2nd February 1993 It is the worldrsquos
issued to a monarch
At the 49th Brussels Eureka in November 2000 the Chaipattana Water Wheel won the Gold Medal from the Belgian Chamber of Inventor Organizations in BrusselsToday there is a welcome attraction in Belgiumrsquos
beautiful Woluwe Saint-shyPierre Park of Brussels Besides enjoying the beautiful landscape and scenery of the park visitors can also now check out

hen I visited Siem Reap late last year it was the period of the
downtown places were under water Siem Reap was also affected Tourists had to roll up their long trouser legs to walk along the submerged streets of the colonial buildings downtown Furthermore ancient Khmer places such as Bantray Srei and the passage way to Angkor Thom were flooded However one of the attractions locals were not worried about was Kompong Phluk Floating VillagePositioned in Siem Reap in the northern central part of Cambodia
developed into a tourist attraction something that took place once Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom became fully opened to travelers There are three main areas open to visitors touristy and easily
and the stilted community of Kompong Khleang Itrsquos about a 20 minutes drive or 16 kilometers to downtown
where a farmer village is situated along the lake Boat tickets are available at the village for 20 dollars and takes about 45 minutes
direction twice a year and the portion that forms the lake expands and shrinks dramatically with the seasons From November to May Cambodiarsquos dry season the Tonle Sap drains into the Mekong River at Phnom Penh So during this season the floating village
you can see the high bamboo cellars of the houses Itrsquos a very strange ambience and one you can experience by visiting Lompong Phluk
state the rainy season is the best time to visit From June the Tonle Sap will back up to form an enormous lake and the high cellars of the houses in the Kompong Phluk will also back to their original form

When I arrived at the dock I was led into a small boat with a driver (the ship has no tour guide so if you want to learn something bring your own personal tour guide) As you may be aware Cambodia is in the midst of recovering
I was about to visit a heavily affected area Nevertheless the trip went well The ship brought me and three other companions from the west to the main route of the village where many shops restaurants and houses are in a state of water-shyassisted elevation The village has all the basic facilities for its residents -shy a temple a stupa to keep the ashes of the departed a monastery and schools There is no western hospital and the people opt for traditional medicines to treat minor illnesses only in serious cases do they go to a hospital in Siem Reap The government of main route

eparating Little India and China Town the Malacca
many ancient places as well as a modern monorail Every day and all year round both locals and foreigners come to soak in its history and diverse architecture along its banks in the form of old churches mosques bridges clan houses warehouses temples and villages that have withstood the test of time
The Malacca River cruise is the biggest surprise The muddy murky water is now quite clear with a tinge of emerald green Clean embankments on both sides stretch for several kilometres The river has also been widened and a mechanical device installed to control the depth of the water The idea was to make the river completely pollution-free so as to develop exquisite gardens on its banks and pave the pedestrian pathways to perfection
Along the way you will have a chance to experience the multi-cultural and historical fabric of the country
One can even see the Malacca tree under which Parameswara was so inspired by the sight of a mouse deer kicking a dog that he named the place lsquoMalaccarsquo
There are two types of cruises One offers recorded commentaries and the other has a tour guide on board The approximate touring time for the cruise is about 45 minutes travelling 9 kilometers from the Quayside Heritage Centre to Taman Rempah Pangkalan Rama The boats are available daily at thirty minute intervals between the following times 930 am to 5 pm and 6 pm to 1130 pm

Malacca i s renowned for being a
16th Century ocean market junction at the Straits of Malacca It was also the meeting point between the East and the West reflected today by its colonial architecture b lending Portuguese Chinese and British styles The old town of Malacca is therefore the charm of the city and was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008

trip on the extraordinary cities and monuments of urban Vietnam a visit to Ha Long Bay will leave you in no doubt that Vietnam also boasts some of the most beautiful natural sceneries in the world The bay features thousands of limestone karsts and isles in various sizes and shapes The Ha Long bay dotted with some 2000 limestone islets rising from emerald waters is the best known natural wonder of Vietnam The islands were formed from limestone sediments deposited at the bottom of an ancient ocean As the seas rose and fell over millennia the soft limestone was easily shaped into the towering monoliths we see today The forces of erosion also riddled the islands with caves more than 20 of which are open to tourists The islands feature endless numbers of beaches grottoes and caves
The best time to visit Ha Long Bay is from May to October when visibility is at its best although itrsquos also the hottest time of the year The easiest way to visit Ha Long is to take a tour

decoration is minimalist in style while the outdoor garden offers a shady dining place and the cool modern air-shyconditioned area is a relaxing alternative A great location is matched by excellent food created by an experienced chef who used to work in a famous restaurant in Phuket Many menus have a distinct southern
the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

in treating water The Chaipattana Water Wheel plays an important role in purifying water ways thus provid-shying a safe habitat for animals and potable water for the arearsquos human populationHis Majesty graciously consented for the Chaipattana
Aerator to be patented under his name and the patent was issued on 2nd February 1993 It is the worldrsquos

hen I visited Siem Reap late last year it was the period of the
downtown places were under water Siem Reap was also affected Tourists had to roll up their long trouser legs to walk along the submerged streets of the colonial buildings downtown Furthermore ancient Khmer places such as Bantray Srei and the passage way to Angkor Thom were flooded However one of the attractions locals were not worried about was Kompong Phluk Floating VillagePositioned in Siem Reap in the northern central part of Cambodia
developed into a tourist attraction something that took place once Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom became fully opened to travelers There are three main areas open to visitors touristy and easily
and the stilted community of Kompong Khleang Itrsquos about a 20 minutes drive or 16 kilometers to downtown
where a farmer village is situated along the lake Boat tickets are available at the village for 20 dollars and takes about 45 minutes
direction twice a year and the portion that forms the lake expands and shrinks dramatically with the seasons From November to May Cambodiarsquos dry season the Tonle Sap drains into the Mekong River at Phnom Penh So during this season the floating village
you can see the high bamboo cellars of the houses Itrsquos a very strange ambience and one you can experience by visiting Lompong Phluk
state the rainy season is the best time to visit From June the Tonle Sap will back up to form an enormous lake and the high cellars of the houses in the Kompong Phluk will also back to their original form

When I arrived at the dock I was led into a small boat with a driver (the ship has no tour guide so if you want to learn something bring your own personal tour guide) As you may be aware Cambodia is in the midst of recovering
I was about to visit a heavily affected area Nevertheless the trip went well The ship brought me and three other companions from the west to the main route of the village where many shops restaurants and houses are in a state of water-shyassisted elevation The village has all the basic facilities for its residents -shy a temple a stupa to keep the ashes of the departed a monastery and schools There is no western hospital and the people opt for traditional medicines to treat minor illnesses only in serious cases do they go to a hospital in Siem Reap The government of main route

eparating Little India and China Town the Malacca
many ancient places as well as a modern monorail Every day and all year round both locals and foreigners come to soak in its history and diverse architecture along its banks in the form of old churches mosques bridges clan houses warehouses temples and villages that have withstood the test of time
The Malacca River cruise is the biggest surprise The muddy murky water is now quite clear with a tinge of emerald green Clean embankments on both sides stretch for several kilometres The river has also been widened and a mechanical device installed to control the depth of the water The idea was to make the river completely pollution-free so as to develop exquisite gardens on its banks and pave the pedestrian pathways to perfection
Along the way you will have a chance to experience the multi-cultural and historical fabric of the country
One can even see the Malacca tree under which Parameswara was so inspired by the sight of a mouse deer kicking a dog that he named the place lsquoMalaccarsquo
There are two types of cruises One offers recorded commentaries and the other has a tour guide on board The approximate touring time for the cruise is about 45 minutes travelling 9 kilometers from the Quayside Heritage Centre to Taman Rempah Pangkalan Rama The boats are available daily at thirty minute intervals between the following times 930 am to 5 pm and 6 pm to 1130 pm

trip on the extraordinary cities and monuments of urban Vietnam a visit to Ha Long Bay will leave you in no doubt that Vietnam also boasts some of the most beautiful natural sceneries in the world The bay features thousands of limestone karsts and isles in various sizes and shapes The Ha Long bay dotted with some 2000 limestone islets rising from emerald waters is the best known natural wonder of Vietnam The islands were formed from limestone sediments deposited at the bottom of an ancient ocean As the seas rose and fell over millennia the soft limestone was easily shaped into the towering monoliths we see today The forces of erosion also riddled the islands with caves more than 20 of which are open to tourists The islands feature endless numbers of beaches grottoes and caves
The best time to visit Ha Long Bay is from May to October when visibility is at its best although itrsquos also the hottest time of the year The easiest way to visit Ha Long is to take a tour

Test Taste
PAT TA N A F I N E C U I S I N Ehough Nimmanhaemin is home to many leading international
a challenge Thankfully this is no longer the case as for the true taste of Thailand Pattana Fine Cuisine is the place to goSituated on Nimmanhaemin Road Soi 9 the restaurantrsquos
decoration is minimalist in style while the outdoor garden offers a shady dining place and the cool modern air-shyconditioned area is a relaxing alternative A great location is matched by excellent food created by an experienced chef who used to work in a famous restaurant in Phuket Many menus have a distinct southern
the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

hen I visited Siem Reap late last year it was the period of the
downtown places were under water Siem Reap was also affected Tourists had to roll up their long trouser legs to walk along the submerged streets of the colonial buildings downtown Furthermore ancient Khmer places such as Bantray Srei and the passage way to Angkor Thom were flooded However one of the attractions locals were not worried about was Kompong Phluk Floating VillagePositioned in Siem Reap in the northern central part of Cambodia
developed into a tourist attraction something that took place once Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom became fully opened to travelers There are three main areas open to visitors touristy and easily
and the stilted community of Kompong Khleang Itrsquos about a 20 minutes drive or 16 kilometers to downtown
where a farmer village is situated along the lake Boat tickets are available at the village for 20 dollars and takes about 45 minutes
direction twice a year and the portion that forms the lake expands and shrinks dramatically with the seasons From November to May Cambodiarsquos dry season the Tonle Sap drains into the Mekong River at Phnom Penh So during this season the floating village
you can see the high bamboo cellars of the houses Itrsquos a very strange ambience and one you can experience by visiting Lompong Phluk
state the rainy season is the best time to visit From June the Tonle Sap will back up to form an enormous lake and the high cellars of the houses in the Kompong Phluk will also back to their original form

When I arrived at the dock I was led into a small boat with a driver (the ship has no tour guide so if you want to learn something bring your own personal tour guide) As you may be aware Cambodia is in the midst of recovering
I was about to visit a heavily affected area Nevertheless the trip went well The ship brought me and three other companions from the west to the main route of the village where many shops restaurants and houses are in a state of water-shyassisted elevation The village has all the basic facilities for its residents -shy a temple a stupa to keep the ashes of the departed a monastery and schools There is no western hospital and the people opt for traditional medicines to treat minor illnesses only in serious cases do they go to a hospital in Siem Reap The government of main route

eparating Little India and China Town the Malacca
many ancient places as well as a modern monorail Every day and all year round both locals and foreigners come to soak in its history and diverse architecture along its banks in the form of old churches mosques bridges clan houses warehouses temples and villages that have withstood the test of time
The Malacca River cruise is the biggest surprise The muddy murky water is now quite clear with a tinge of emerald green Clean embankments on both sides stretch for several kilometres The river has also been widened and a mechanical device installed to control the depth of the water The idea was to make the river completely pollution-free so as to develop exquisite gardens on its banks and pave the pedestrian pathways to perfection
Along the way you will have a chance to experience the multi-cultural and historical fabric of the country
One can even see the Malacca tree under which Parameswara was so inspired by the sight of a mouse deer kicking a dog that he named the place lsquoMalaccarsquo
There are two types of cruises One offers recorded commentaries and the other has a tour guide on board The approximate touring time for the cruise is about 45 minutes travelling 9 kilometers from the Quayside Heritage Centre to Taman Rempah Pangkalan Rama The boats are available daily at thirty minute intervals between the following times 930 am to 5 pm and 6 pm to 1130 pm

trip on the extraordinary cities and monuments of urban Vietnam a visit to Ha Long Bay will leave you in no doubt that Vietnam also boasts some of the most beautiful natural sceneries in the world The bay features thousands of limestone karsts and isles in various sizes and shapes The Ha Long bay dotted with some 2000 limestone islets rising from emerald waters is the best known natural wonder of Vietnam The islands were formed from limestone sediments deposited at the bottom of an ancient ocean As the seas rose and fell over millennia the soft limestone was easily shaped into the towering monoliths we see today The forces of erosion also riddled the islands with caves more than 20 of which are open to tourists The islands feature endless numbers of beaches grottoes and caves
The best time to visit Ha Long Bay is from May to October when visibility is at its best although itrsquos also the hottest time of the year The easiest way to visit Ha Long is to take a tour

a challenge Thankfully this is no longer the case as for the true taste of Thailand Pattana Fine Cuisine is the place to goSituated on Nimmanhaemin Road Soi 9 the restaurantrsquos
decoration is minimalist in style while the outdoor garden offers a shady dining place and the cool modern air-shyconditioned area is a relaxing alternative A great location is matched by excellent food created by an experienced chef who used to work in a famous restaurant in Phuket Many menus have a distinct southern
the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

pump Thailandrsquos beloved King created a unique water wheel for his nation called Chaipattana Water Wheel on 24thDecember 1988From 1983-shy1987 His Majesty the King suggested
the necessity of using treated water At the time another method involved the use of water hyacinth and
Majesty called lsquoevil overcoming evilrsquo Such methods were capable of alleviating and effectively solving the problems to a certain extentThis device was commissioned for production
jointly by the Chaipattana Foundation under His Majestyrsquos patronage and the Department of Irrigation It has become widely known as lsquothe Chaipattana Water Wheelrsquo a locally produced low-shycost machine
in treating water The Chaipattana Water Wheel plays an important role in purifying water ways thus provid-shying a safe habitat for animals and potable water for the arearsquos human populationHis Majesty graciously consented for the Chaipattana
Aerator to be patented under his name and the patent was issued on 2nd February 1993 It is the worldrsquos
issued to a monarch
At the 49th Brussels Eureka in November 2000 the Chaipattana Water Wheel won the Gold Medal from the Belgian Chamber of Inventor Organizations in BrusselsToday there is a welcome attraction in Belgiumrsquos
beautiful Woluwe Saint-shyPierre Park of Brussels Besides enjoying the beautiful landscape and scenery of the park visitors can also now check out
sedately in the pond This fame of His Majestyrsquos invention is not only known in the Kingdom of Thailand but throughout the world

hen I visited Siem Reap late last year it was the period of the
downtown places were under water Siem Reap was also affected Tourists had to roll up their long trouser legs to walk along the submerged streets of the colonial buildings downtown Furthermore ancient Khmer places such as Bantray Srei and the passage way to Angkor Thom were flooded However one of the attractions locals were not worried about was Kompong Phluk Floating VillagePositioned in Siem Reap in the northern central part of Cambodia
developed into a tourist attraction something that took place once Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom became fully opened to travelers There are three main areas open to visitors touristy and easily
and the stilted community of Kompong Khleang Itrsquos about a 20 minutes drive or 16 kilometers to downtown
where a farmer village is situated along the lake Boat tickets are available at the village for 20 dollars and takes about 45 minutes
direction twice a year and the portion that forms the lake expands and shrinks dramatically with the seasons From November to May Cambodiarsquos dry season the Tonle Sap drains into the Mekong River at Phnom Penh So during this season the floating village
you can see the high bamboo cellars of the houses Itrsquos a very strange ambience and one you can experience by visiting Lompong Phluk
state the rainy season is the best time to visit From June the Tonle Sap will back up to form an enormous lake and the high cellars of the houses in the Kompong Phluk will also back to their original form

When I arrived at the dock I was led into a small boat with a driver (the ship has no tour guide so if you want to learn something bring your own personal tour guide) As you may be aware Cambodia is in the midst of recovering
I was about to visit a heavily affected area Nevertheless the trip went well The ship brought me and three other companions from the west to the main route of the village where many shops restaurants and houses are in a state of water-shyassisted elevation The village has all the basic facilities for its residents -shy a temple a stupa to keep the ashes of the departed a monastery and schools There is no western hospital and the people opt for traditional medicines to treat minor illnesses only in serious cases do they go to a hospital in Siem Reap The government of main route

lake reaches more than 15 meters it is those with stilted homes that are forced to abandon them for dry land In the wet season the lakes usually reaches about 10 meters while in the dry season the tour forgoes a boat and drives through the village with the stilted homes towering aboveMore interesting than the floating and stilted
structures however were the people I was delighted
world The Tonle Sap River seems to be one of these places where time stands still Life is so slow but not easy (especially for those who was not born in this village) Itrsquos weird to think they live on a boat for about 8-shy9 months of the year and then switch to living on the ground in strange human-shyscale buildings for another 3 months Irsquove previously visited Amphawa Floating Market and

eparating Little India and China Town the Malacca
many ancient places as well as a modern monorail Every day and all year round both locals and foreigners come to soak in its history and diverse architecture along its banks in the form of old churches mosques bridges clan houses warehouses temples and villages that have withstood the test of time
The Malacca River cruise is the biggest surprise The muddy murky water is now quite clear with a tinge of emerald green Clean embankments on both sides stretch for several kilometres The river has also been widened and a mechanical device installed to control the depth of the water The idea was to make the river completely pollution-free so as to develop exquisite gardens on its banks and pave the pedestrian pathways to perfection
Along the way you will have a chance to experience the multi-cultural and historical fabric of the country
One can even see the Malacca tree under which Parameswara was so inspired by the sight of a mouse deer kicking a dog that he named the place lsquoMalaccarsquo
There are two types of cruises One offers recorded commentaries and the other has a tour guide on board The approximate touring time for the cruise is about 45 minutes travelling 9 kilometers from the Quayside Heritage Centre to Taman Rempah Pangkalan Rama The boats are available daily at thirty minute intervals between the following times 930 am to 5 pm and 6 pm to 1130 pm

Malacca i s renowned for being a
16th Century ocean market junction at the Straits of Malacca It was also the meeting point between the East and the West reflected today by its colonial architecture b lending Portuguese Chinese and British styles The old town of Malacca is therefore the charm of the city and was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008

trip on the extraordinary cities and monuments of urban Vietnam a visit to Ha Long Bay will leave you in no doubt that Vietnam also boasts some of the most beautiful natural sceneries in the world The bay features thousands of limestone karsts and isles in various sizes and shapes The Ha Long bay dotted with some 2000 limestone islets rising from emerald waters is the best known natural wonder of Vietnam The islands were formed from limestone sediments deposited at the bottom of an ancient ocean As the seas rose and fell over millennia the soft limestone was easily shaped into the towering monoliths we see today The forces of erosion also riddled the islands with caves more than 20 of which are open to tourists The islands feature endless numbers of beaches grottoes and caves
The best time to visit Ha Long Bay is from May to October when visibility is at its best although itrsquos also the hottest time of the year The easiest way to visit Ha Long is to take a tour

decoration is minimalist in style while the outdoor garden offers a shady dining place and the cool modern air-shyconditioned area is a relaxing alternative A great location is matched by excellent food created by an experienced chef who used to work in a famous restaurant in Phuket Many menus have a distinct southern
the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

hen I visited Siem Reap late last year it was the period of the
downtown places were under water Siem Reap was also affected Tourists had to roll up their long trouser legs to walk along the submerged streets of the colonial buildings downtown Furthermore ancient Khmer places such as Bantray Srei and the passage way to Angkor Thom were flooded However one of the attractions locals were not worried about was Kompong Phluk Floating VillagePositioned in Siem Reap in the northern central part of Cambodia
developed into a tourist attraction something that took place once Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom became fully opened to travelers There are three main areas open to visitors touristy and easily
and the stilted community of Kompong Khleang Itrsquos about a 20 minutes drive or 16 kilometers to downtown
where a farmer village is situated along the lake Boat tickets are available at the village for 20 dollars and takes about 45 minutes
direction twice a year and the portion that forms the lake expands and shrinks dramatically with the seasons From November to May Cambodiarsquos dry season the Tonle Sap drains into the Mekong River at Phnom Penh So during this season the floating village
you can see the high bamboo cellars of the houses Itrsquos a very strange ambience and one you can experience by visiting Lompong Phluk
state the rainy season is the best time to visit From June the Tonle Sap will back up to form an enormous lake and the high cellars of the houses in the Kompong Phluk will also back to their original form

When I arrived at the dock I was led into a small boat with a driver (the ship has no tour guide so if you want to learn something bring your own personal tour guide) As you may be aware Cambodia is in the midst of recovering
I was about to visit a heavily affected area Nevertheless the trip went well The ship brought me and three other companions from the west to the main route of the village where many shops restaurants and houses are in a state of water-shyassisted elevation The village has all the basic facilities for its residents -shy a temple a stupa to keep the ashes of the departed a monastery and schools There is no western hospital and the people opt for traditional medicines to treat minor illnesses only in serious cases do they go to a hospital in Siem Reap The government of main route

world The Tonle Sap River seems to be one of these places where time stands still Life is so slow but not easy (especially for those who was not born in this village) Itrsquos weird to think they live on a boat for about 8-shy9 months of the year and then switch to living on the ground in strange human-shyscale buildings for another 3 months Irsquove previously visited Amphawa Floating Market and

eparating Little India and China Town the Malacca
many ancient places as well as a modern monorail Every day and all year round both locals and foreigners come to soak in its history and diverse architecture along its banks in the form of old churches mosques bridges clan houses warehouses temples and villages that have withstood the test of time
The Malacca River cruise is the biggest surprise The muddy murky water is now quite clear with a tinge of emerald green Clean embankments on both sides stretch for several kilometres The river has also been widened and a mechanical device installed to control the depth of the water The idea was to make the river completely pollution-free so as to develop exquisite gardens on its banks and pave the pedestrian pathways to perfection
Along the way you will have a chance to experience the multi-cultural and historical fabric of the country
One can even see the Malacca tree under which Parameswara was so inspired by the sight of a mouse deer kicking a dog that he named the place lsquoMalaccarsquo
There are two types of cruises One offers recorded commentaries and the other has a tour guide on board The approximate touring time for the cruise is about 45 minutes travelling 9 kilometers from the Quayside Heritage Centre to Taman Rempah Pangkalan Rama The boats are available daily at thirty minute intervals between the following times 930 am to 5 pm and 6 pm to 1130 pm

The best time to visit Ha Long Bay is from May to October when visibility is at its best although itrsquos also the hottest time of the year The easiest way to visit Ha Long is to take a tour

Test Taste

a challenge Thankfully this is no longer the case as for the true taste of Thailand Pattana Fine Cuisine is the place to goSituated on Nimmanhaemin Road Soi 9 the restaurantrsquos
decoration is minimalist in style while the outdoor garden offers a shady dining place and the cool modern air-shyconditioned area is a relaxing alternative A great location is matched by excellent food created by an experienced chef who used to work in a famous restaurant in Phuket Many menus have a distinct southern
the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is

hen I visited Siem Reap late last year it was the period of the
downtown places were under water Siem Reap was also affected Tourists had to roll up their long trouser legs to walk along the submerged streets of the colonial buildings downtown Furthermore ancient Khmer places such as Bantray Srei and the passage way to Angkor Thom were flooded However one of the attractions locals were not worried about was Kompong Phluk Floating VillagePositioned in Siem Reap in the northern central part of Cambodia
developed into a tourist attraction something that took place once Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom became fully opened to travelers There are three main areas open to visitors touristy and easily
and the stilted community of Kompong Khleang Itrsquos about a 20 minutes drive or 16 kilometers to downtown
where a farmer village is situated along the lake Boat tickets are available at the village for 20 dollars and takes about 45 minutes
direction twice a year and the portion that forms the lake expands and shrinks dramatically with the seasons From November to May Cambodiarsquos dry season the Tonle Sap drains into the Mekong River at Phnom Penh So during this season the floating village
you can see the high bamboo cellars of the houses Itrsquos a very strange ambience and one you can experience by visiting Lompong Phluk
state the rainy season is the best time to visit From June the Tonle Sap will back up to form an enormous lake and the high cellars of the houses in the Kompong Phluk will also back to their original form

When I arrived at the dock I was led into a small boat with a driver (the ship has no tour guide so if you want to learn something bring your own personal tour guide) As you may be aware Cambodia is in the midst of recovering
I was about to visit a heavily affected area Nevertheless the trip went well The ship brought me and three other companions from the west to the main route of the village where many shops restaurants and houses are in a state of water-shyassisted elevation The village has all the basic facilities for its residents -shy a temple a stupa to keep the ashes of the departed a monastery and schools There is no western hospital and the people opt for traditional medicines to treat minor illnesses only in serious cases do they go to a hospital in Siem Reap The government of main route

eparating Little India and China Town the Malacca
many ancient places as well as a modern monorail Every day and all year round both locals and foreigners come to soak in its history and diverse architecture along its banks in the form of old churches mosques bridges clan houses warehouses temples and villages that have withstood the test of time
The Malacca River cruise is the biggest surprise The muddy murky water is now quite clear with a tinge of emerald green Clean embankments on both sides stretch for several kilometres The river has also been widened and a mechanical device installed to control the depth of the water The idea was to make the river completely pollution-free so as to develop exquisite gardens on its banks and pave the pedestrian pathways to perfection
Along the way you will have a chance to experience the multi-cultural and historical fabric of the country
One can even see the Malacca tree under which Parameswara was so inspired by the sight of a mouse deer kicking a dog that he named the place lsquoMalaccarsquo
There are two types of cruises One offers recorded commentaries and the other has a tour guide on board The approximate touring time for the cruise is about 45 minutes travelling 9 kilometers from the Quayside Heritage Centre to Taman Rempah Pangkalan Rama The boats are available daily at thirty minute intervals between the following times 930 am to 5 pm and 6 pm to 1130 pm

trip on the extraordinary cities and monuments of urban Vietnam a visit to Ha Long Bay will leave you in no doubt that Vietnam also boasts some of the most beautiful natural sceneries in the world The bay features thousands of limestone karsts and isles in various sizes and shapes The Ha Long bay dotted with some 2000 limestone islets rising from emerald waters is the best known natural wonder of Vietnam The islands were formed from limestone sediments deposited at the bottom of an ancient ocean As the seas rose and fell over millennia the soft limestone was easily shaped into the towering monoliths we see today The forces of erosion also riddled the islands with caves more than 20 of which are open to tourists The islands feature endless numbers of beaches grottoes and caves
The best time to visit Ha Long Bay is from May to October when visibility is at its best although itrsquos also the hottest time of the year The easiest way to visit Ha Long is to take a tour

Test Taste
PAT TA N A F I N E C U I S I N Ehough Nimmanhaemin is home to many leading international
a challenge Thankfully this is no longer the case as for the true taste of Thailand Pattana Fine Cuisine is the place to goSituated on Nimmanhaemin Road Soi 9 the restaurantrsquos
decoration is minimalist in style while the outdoor garden offers a shady dining place and the cool modern air-shyconditioned area is a relaxing alternative A great location is matched by excellent food created by an experienced chef who used to work in a famous restaurant in Phuket Many menus have a distinct southern
the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

hen I visited Siem Reap late last year it was the period of the
downtown places were under water Siem Reap was also affected Tourists had to roll up their long trouser legs to walk along the submerged streets of the colonial buildings downtown Furthermore ancient Khmer places such as Bantray Srei and the passage way to Angkor Thom were flooded However one of the attractions locals were not worried about was Kompong Phluk Floating VillagePositioned in Siem Reap in the northern central part of Cambodia
developed into a tourist attraction something that took place once Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom became fully opened to travelers There are three main areas open to visitors touristy and easily
and the stilted community of Kompong Khleang Itrsquos about a 20 minutes drive or 16 kilometers to downtown
where a farmer village is situated along the lake Boat tickets are available at the village for 20 dollars and takes about 45 minutes
direction twice a year and the portion that forms the lake expands and shrinks dramatically with the seasons From November to May Cambodiarsquos dry season the Tonle Sap drains into the Mekong River at Phnom Penh So during this season the floating village
you can see the high bamboo cellars of the houses Itrsquos a very strange ambience and one you can experience by visiting Lompong Phluk
state the rainy season is the best time to visit From June the Tonle Sap will back up to form an enormous lake and the high cellars of the houses in the Kompong Phluk will also back to their original form

When I arrived at the dock I was led into a small boat with a driver (the ship has no tour guide so if you want to learn something bring your own personal tour guide) As you may be aware Cambodia is in the midst of recovering
I was about to visit a heavily affected area Nevertheless the trip went well The ship brought me and three other companions from the west to the main route of the village where many shops restaurants and houses are in a state of water-shyassisted elevation The village has all the basic facilities for its residents -shy a temple a stupa to keep the ashes of the departed a monastery and schools There is no western hospital and the people opt for traditional medicines to treat minor illnesses only in serious cases do they go to a hospital in Siem Reap The government of main route

lake reaches more than 15 meters it is those with stilted homes that are forced to abandon them for dry land In the wet season the lakes usually reaches about 10 meters while in the dry season the tour forgoes a boat and drives through the village with the stilted homes towering aboveMore interesting than the floating and stilted

world The Tonle Sap River seems to be one of these places where time stands still Life is so slow but not easy (especially for those who was not born in this village) Itrsquos weird to think they live on a boat for about 8-shy9 months of the year and then switch to living on the ground in strange human-shyscale buildings for another 3 months Irsquove previously visited Amphawa Floating Market and

eparating Little India and China Town the Malacca
many ancient places as well as a modern monorail Every day and all year round both locals and foreigners come to soak in its history and diverse architecture along its banks in the form of old churches mosques bridges clan houses warehouses temples and villages that have withstood the test of time
The Malacca River cruise is the biggest surprise The muddy murky water is now quite clear with a tinge of emerald green Clean embankments on both sides stretch for several kilometres The river has also been widened and a mechanical device installed to control the depth of the water The idea was to make the river completely pollution-free so as to develop exquisite gardens on its banks and pave the pedestrian pathways to perfection
Along the way you will have a chance to experience the multi-cultural and historical fabric of the country
One can even see the Malacca tree under which Parameswara was so inspired by the sight of a mouse deer kicking a dog that he named the place lsquoMalaccarsquo
There are two types of cruises One offers recorded commentaries and the other has a tour guide on board The approximate touring time for the cruise is about 45 minutes travelling 9 kilometers from the Quayside Heritage Centre to Taman Rempah Pangkalan Rama The boats are available daily at thirty minute intervals between the following times 930 am to 5 pm and 6 pm to 1130 pm

Malacca i s renowned for being a
16th Century ocean market junction at the Straits of Malacca It was also the meeting point between the East and the West reflected today by its colonial architecture b lending Portuguese Chinese and British styles The old town of Malacca is therefore the charm of the city and was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008

trip on the extraordinary cities and monuments of urban Vietnam a visit to Ha Long Bay will leave you in no doubt that Vietnam also boasts some of the most beautiful natural sceneries in the world The bay features thousands of limestone karsts and isles in various sizes and shapes The Ha Long bay dotted with some 2000 limestone islets rising from emerald waters is the best known natural wonder of Vietnam The islands were formed from limestone sediments deposited at the bottom of an ancient ocean As the seas rose and fell over millennia the soft limestone was easily shaped into the towering monoliths we see today The forces of erosion also riddled the islands with caves more than 20 of which are open to tourists The islands feature endless numbers of beaches grottoes and caves
The best time to visit Ha Long Bay is from May to October when visibility is at its best although itrsquos also the hottest time of the year The easiest way to visit Ha Long is to take a tour

decoration is minimalist in style while the outdoor garden offers a shady dining place and the cool modern air-shyconditioned area is a relaxing alternative A great location is matched by excellent food created by an experienced chef who used to work in a famous restaurant in Phuket Many menus have a distinct southern
the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

hen I visited Siem Reap late last year it was the period of the
downtown places were under water Siem Reap was also affected Tourists had to roll up their long trouser legs to walk along the submerged streets of the colonial buildings downtown Furthermore ancient Khmer places such as Bantray Srei and the passage way to Angkor Thom were flooded However one of the attractions locals were not worried about was Kompong Phluk Floating VillagePositioned in Siem Reap in the northern central part of Cambodia
developed into a tourist attraction something that took place once Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom became fully opened to travelers There are three main areas open to visitors touristy and easily
and the stilted community of Kompong Khleang Itrsquos about a 20 minutes drive or 16 kilometers to downtown
where a farmer village is situated along the lake Boat tickets are available at the village for 20 dollars and takes about 45 minutes
direction twice a year and the portion that forms the lake expands and shrinks dramatically with the seasons From November to May Cambodiarsquos dry season the Tonle Sap drains into the Mekong River at Phnom Penh So during this season the floating village
you can see the high bamboo cellars of the houses Itrsquos a very strange ambience and one you can experience by visiting Lompong Phluk
state the rainy season is the best time to visit From June the Tonle Sap will back up to form an enormous lake and the high cellars of the houses in the Kompong Phluk will also back to their original form

When I arrived at the dock I was led into a small boat with a driver (the ship has no tour guide so if you want to learn something bring your own personal tour guide) As you may be aware Cambodia is in the midst of recovering
I was about to visit a heavily affected area Nevertheless the trip went well The ship brought me and three other companions from the west to the main route of the village where many shops restaurants and houses are in a state of water-shyassisted elevation The village has all the basic facilities for its residents -shy a temple a stupa to keep the ashes of the departed a monastery and schools There is no western hospital and the people opt for traditional medicines to treat minor illnesses only in serious cases do they go to a hospital in Siem Reap The government of main route

structures however were the people I was delighted
world The Tonle Sap River seems to be one of these places where time stands still Life is so slow but not easy (especially for those who was not born in this village) Itrsquos weird to think they live on a boat for about 8-shy9 months of the year and then switch to living on the ground in strange human-shyscale buildings for another 3 months Irsquove previously visited Amphawa Floating Market and
Phluk was the most eye-shyopening and charming experience of them all

eparating Little India and China Town the Malacca
many ancient places as well as a modern monorail Every day and all year round both locals and foreigners come to soak in its history and diverse architecture along its banks in the form of old churches mosques bridges clan houses warehouses temples and villages that have withstood the test of time
The Malacca River cruise is the biggest surprise The muddy murky water is now quite clear with a tinge of emerald green Clean embankments on both sides stretch for several kilometres The river has also been widened and a mechanical device installed to control the depth of the water The idea was to make the river completely pollution-free so as to develop exquisite gardens on its banks and pave the pedestrian pathways to perfection
Along the way you will have a chance to experience the multi-cultural and historical fabric of the country
One can even see the Malacca tree under which Parameswara was so inspired by the sight of a mouse deer kicking a dog that he named the place lsquoMalaccarsquo
There are two types of cruises One offers recorded commentaries and the other has a tour guide on board The approximate touring time for the cruise is about 45 minutes travelling 9 kilometers from the Quayside Heritage Centre to Taman Rempah Pangkalan Rama The boats are available daily at thirty minute intervals between the following times 930 am to 5 pm and 6 pm to 1130 pm

Malacca i s renowned for being a
16th Century ocean market junction at the Straits of Malacca It was also the meeting point between the East and the West reflected today by its colonial architecture b lending Portuguese Chinese and British styles The old town of Malacca is therefore the charm of the city and was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008

trip on the extraordinary cities and monuments of urban Vietnam a visit to Ha Long Bay will leave you in no doubt that Vietnam also boasts some of the most beautiful natural sceneries in the world The bay features thousands of limestone karsts and isles in various sizes and shapes The Ha Long bay dotted with some 2000 limestone islets rising from emerald waters is the best known natural wonder of Vietnam The islands were formed from limestone sediments deposited at the bottom of an ancient ocean As the seas rose and fell over millennia the soft limestone was easily shaped into the towering monoliths we see today The forces of erosion also riddled the islands with caves more than 20 of which are open to tourists The islands feature endless numbers of beaches grottoes and caves
The best time to visit Ha Long Bay is from May to October when visibility is at its best although itrsquos also the hottest time of the year The easiest way to visit Ha Long is to take a tour

the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

hen I visited Siem Reap late last year it was the period of the
downtown places were under water Siem Reap was also affected Tourists had to roll up their long trouser legs to walk along the submerged streets of the colonial buildings downtown Furthermore ancient Khmer places such as Bantray Srei and the passage way to Angkor Thom were flooded However one of the attractions locals were not worried about was Kompong Phluk Floating VillagePositioned in Siem Reap in the northern central part of Cambodia
developed into a tourist attraction something that took place once Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom became fully opened to travelers There are three main areas open to visitors touristy and easily
and the stilted community of Kompong Khleang Itrsquos about a 20 minutes drive or 16 kilometers to downtown
where a farmer village is situated along the lake Boat tickets are available at the village for 20 dollars and takes about 45 minutes
direction twice a year and the portion that forms the lake expands and shrinks dramatically with the seasons From November to May Cambodiarsquos dry season the Tonle Sap drains into the Mekong River at Phnom Penh So during this season the floating village
you can see the high bamboo cellars of the houses Itrsquos a very strange ambience and one you can experience by visiting Lompong Phluk
state the rainy season is the best time to visit From June the Tonle Sap will back up to form an enormous lake and the high cellars of the houses in the Kompong Phluk will also back to their original form

When I arrived at the dock I was led into a small boat with a driver (the ship has no tour guide so if you want to learn something bring your own personal tour guide) As you may be aware Cambodia is in the midst of recovering
I was about to visit a heavily affected area Nevertheless the trip went well The ship brought me and three other companions from the west to the main route of the village where many shops restaurants and houses are in a state of water-shyassisted elevation The village has all the basic facilities for its residents -shy a temple a stupa to keep the ashes of the departed a monastery and schools There is no western hospital and the people opt for traditional medicines to treat minor illnesses only in serious cases do they go to a hospital in Siem Reap The government of main route

eparating Little India and China Town the Malacca
many ancient places as well as a modern monorail Every day and all year round both locals and foreigners come to soak in its history and diverse architecture along its banks in the form of old churches mosques bridges clan houses warehouses temples and villages that have withstood the test of time
The Malacca River cruise is the biggest surprise The muddy murky water is now quite clear with a tinge of emerald green Clean embankments on both sides stretch for several kilometres The river has also been widened and a mechanical device installed to control the depth of the water The idea was to make the river completely pollution-free so as to develop exquisite gardens on its banks and pave the pedestrian pathways to perfection
Along the way you will have a chance to experience the multi-cultural and historical fabric of the country
One can even see the Malacca tree under which Parameswara was so inspired by the sight of a mouse deer kicking a dog that he named the place lsquoMalaccarsquo
There are two types of cruises One offers recorded commentaries and the other has a tour guide on board The approximate touring time for the cruise is about 45 minutes travelling 9 kilometers from the Quayside Heritage Centre to Taman Rempah Pangkalan Rama The boats are available daily at thirty minute intervals between the following times 930 am to 5 pm and 6 pm to 1130 pm

Malacca i s renowned for being a
16th Century ocean market junction at the Straits of Malacca It was also the meeting point between the East and the West reflected today by its colonial architecture b lending Portuguese Chinese and British styles The old town of Malacca is therefore the charm of the city and was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008

The best time to visit Ha Long Bay is from May to October when visibility is at its best although itrsquos also the hottest time of the year The easiest way to visit Ha Long is to take a tour

the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

When I arrived at the dock I was led into a small boat with a driver (the ship has no tour guide so if you want to learn something bring your own personal tour guide) As you may be aware Cambodia is in the midst of recovering
I was about to visit a heavily affected area Nevertheless the trip went well The ship brought me and three other companions from the west to the main route of the village where many shops restaurants and houses are in a state of water-shyassisted elevation The village has all the basic facilities for its residents -shy a temple a stupa to keep the ashes of the departed a monastery and schools There is no western hospital and the people opt for traditional medicines to treat minor illnesses only in serious cases do they go to a hospital in Siem Reap The government of main route

eparating Little India and China Town the Malacca
many ancient places as well as a modern monorail Every day and all year round both locals and foreigners come to soak in its history and diverse architecture along its banks in the form of old churches mosques bridges clan houses warehouses temples and villages that have withstood the test of time
The Malacca River cruise is the biggest surprise The muddy murky water is now quite clear with a tinge of emerald green Clean embankments on both sides stretch for several kilometres The river has also been widened and a mechanical device installed to control the depth of the water The idea was to make the river completely pollution-free so as to develop exquisite gardens on its banks and pave the pedestrian pathways to perfection
Along the way you will have a chance to experience the multi-cultural and historical fabric of the country
One can even see the Malacca tree under which Parameswara was so inspired by the sight of a mouse deer kicking a dog that he named the place lsquoMalaccarsquo
There are two types of cruises One offers recorded commentaries and the other has a tour guide on board The approximate touring time for the cruise is about 45 minutes travelling 9 kilometers from the Quayside Heritage Centre to Taman Rempah Pangkalan Rama The boats are available daily at thirty minute intervals between the following times 930 am to 5 pm and 6 pm to 1130 pm

Malacca i s renowned for being a
16th Century ocean market junction at the Straits of Malacca It was also the meeting point between the East and the West reflected today by its colonial architecture b lending Portuguese Chinese and British styles The old town of Malacca is therefore the charm of the city and was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008

trip on the extraordinary cities and monuments of urban Vietnam a visit to Ha Long Bay will leave you in no doubt that Vietnam also boasts some of the most beautiful natural sceneries in the world The bay features thousands of limestone karsts and isles in various sizes and shapes The Ha Long bay dotted with some 2000 limestone islets rising from emerald waters is the best known natural wonder of Vietnam The islands were formed from limestone sediments deposited at the bottom of an ancient ocean As the seas rose and fell over millennia the soft limestone was easily shaped into the towering monoliths we see today The forces of erosion also riddled the islands with caves more than 20 of which are open to tourists The islands feature endless numbers of beaches grottoes and caves
The best time to visit Ha Long Bay is from May to October when visibility is at its best although itrsquos also the hottest time of the year The easiest way to visit Ha Long is to take a tour

the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

eparating Little India and China Town the Malacca
many ancient places as well as a modern monorail Every day and all year round both locals and foreigners come to soak in its history and diverse architecture along its banks in the form of old churches mosques bridges clan houses warehouses temples and villages that have withstood the test of time
The Malacca River cruise is the biggest surprise The muddy murky water is now quite clear with a tinge of emerald green Clean embankments on both sides stretch for several kilometres The river has also been widened and a mechanical device installed to control the depth of the water The idea was to make the river completely pollution-free so as to develop exquisite gardens on its banks and pave the pedestrian pathways to perfection
Along the way you will have a chance to experience the multi-cultural and historical fabric of the country
One can even see the Malacca tree under which Parameswara was so inspired by the sight of a mouse deer kicking a dog that he named the place lsquoMalaccarsquo
There are two types of cruises One offers recorded commentaries and the other has a tour guide on board The approximate touring time for the cruise is about 45 minutes travelling 9 kilometers from the Quayside Heritage Centre to Taman Rempah Pangkalan Rama The boats are available daily at thirty minute intervals between the following times 930 am to 5 pm and 6 pm to 1130 pm

Malacca i s renowned for being a

trip on the extraordinary cities and monuments of urban Vietnam a visit to Ha Long Bay will leave you in no doubt that Vietnam also boasts some of the most beautiful natural sceneries in the world The bay features thousands of limestone karsts and isles in various sizes and shapes The Ha Long bay dotted with some 2000 limestone islets rising from emerald waters is the best known natural wonder of Vietnam The islands were formed from limestone sediments deposited at the bottom of an ancient ocean As the seas rose and fell over millennia the soft limestone was easily shaped into the towering monoliths we see today The forces of erosion also riddled the islands with caves more than 20 of which are open to tourists The islands feature endless numbers of beaches grottoes and caves
The best time to visit Ha Long Bay is from May to October when visibility is at its best although itrsquos also the hottest time of the year The easiest way to visit Ha Long is to take a tour

the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

eparating Little India and China Town the Malacca
many ancient places as well as a modern monorail Every day and all year round both locals and foreigners come to soak in its history and diverse architecture along its banks in the form of old churches mosques bridges clan houses warehouses temples and villages that have withstood the test of time
The Malacca River cruise is the biggest surprise The muddy murky water is now quite clear with a tinge of emerald green Clean embankments on both sides stretch for several kilometres The river has also been widened and a mechanical device installed to control the depth of the water The idea was to make the river completely pollution-free so as to develop exquisite gardens on its banks and pave the pedestrian pathways to perfection
Along the way you will have a chance to experience the multi-cultural and historical fabric of the country
One can even see the Malacca tree under which Parameswara was so inspired by the sight of a mouse deer kicking a dog that he named the place lsquoMalaccarsquo
There are two types of cruises One offers recorded commentaries and the other has a tour guide on board The approximate touring time for the cruise is about 45 minutes travelling 9 kilometers from the Quayside Heritage Centre to Taman Rempah Pangkalan Rama The boats are available daily at thirty minute intervals between the following times 930 am to 5 pm and 6 pm to 1130 pm

trip on the extraordinary cities and monuments of urban Vietnam a visit to Ha Long Bay will leave you in no doubt that Vietnam also boasts some of the most beautiful natural sceneries in the world The bay features thousands of limestone karsts and isles in various sizes and shapes The Ha Long bay dotted with some 2000 limestone islets rising from emerald waters is the best known natural wonder of Vietnam The islands were formed from limestone sediments deposited at the bottom of an ancient ocean As the seas rose and fell over millennia the soft limestone was easily shaped into the towering monoliths we see today The forces of erosion also riddled the islands with caves more than 20 of which are open to tourists The islands feature endless numbers of beaches grottoes and caves
The best time to visit Ha Long Bay is from May to October when visibility is at its best although itrsquos also the hottest time of the year The easiest way to visit Ha Long is to take a tour

the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

eparating Little India and China Town the Malacca
many ancient places as well as a modern monorail Every day and all year round both locals and foreigners come to soak in its history and diverse architecture along its banks in the form of old churches mosques bridges clan houses warehouses temples and villages that have withstood the test of time
The Malacca River cruise is the biggest surprise The muddy murky water is now quite clear with a tinge of emerald green Clean embankments on both sides stretch for several kilometres The river has also been widened and a mechanical device installed to control the depth of the water The idea was to make the river completely pollution-free so as to develop exquisite gardens on its banks and pave the pedestrian pathways to perfection
Along the way you will have a chance to experience the multi-cultural and historical fabric of the country
One can even see the Malacca tree under which Parameswara was so inspired by the sight of a mouse deer kicking a dog that he named the place lsquoMalaccarsquo
There are two types of cruises One offers recorded commentaries and the other has a tour guide on board The approximate touring time for the cruise is about 45 minutes travelling 9 kilometers from the Quayside Heritage Centre to Taman Rempah Pangkalan Rama The boats are available daily at thirty minute intervals between the following times 930 am to 5 pm and 6 pm to 1130 pm

trip on the extraordinary cities and monuments of urban Vietnam a visit to Ha Long Bay will leave you in no doubt that Vietnam also boasts some of the most beautiful natural sceneries in the world The bay features thousands of limestone karsts and isles in various sizes and shapes The Ha Long bay dotted with some 2000 limestone islets rising from emerald waters is the best known natural wonder of Vietnam The islands were formed from limestone sediments deposited at the bottom of an ancient ocean As the seas rose and fell over millennia the soft limestone was easily shaped into the towering monoliths we see today The forces of erosion also riddled the islands with caves more than 20 of which are open to tourists The islands feature endless numbers of beaches grottoes and caves
The best time to visit Ha Long Bay is from May to October when visibility is at its best although itrsquos also the hottest time of the year The easiest way to visit Ha Long is to take a tour

Test Taste
PAT TA N A F I N E C U I S I N Ehough Nimmanhaemin is home to many leading international
a challenge Thankfully this is no longer the case as for the true taste of Thailand Pattana Fine Cuisine is the place to goSituated on Nimmanhaemin Road Soi 9 the restaurantrsquos
decoration is minimalist in style while the outdoor garden offers a shady dining place and the cool modern air-shyconditioned area is a relaxing alternative A great location is matched by excellent food created by an experienced chef who used to work in a famous restaurant in Phuket Many menus have a distinct southern
the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

eparating Little India and China Town the Malacca
many ancient places as well as a modern monorail Every day and all year round both locals and foreigners come to soak in its history and diverse architecture along its banks in the form of old churches mosques bridges clan houses warehouses temples and villages that have withstood the test of time
The Malacca River cruise is the biggest surprise The muddy murky water is now quite clear with a tinge of emerald green Clean embankments on both sides stretch for several kilometres The river has also been widened and a mechanical device installed to control the depth of the water The idea was to make the river completely pollution-free so as to develop exquisite gardens on its banks and pave the pedestrian pathways to perfection
Along the way you will have a chance to experience the multi-cultural and historical fabric of the country
One can even see the Malacca tree under which Parameswara was so inspired by the sight of a mouse deer kicking a dog that he named the place lsquoMalaccarsquo
There are two types of cruises One offers recorded commentaries and the other has a tour guide on board The approximate touring time for the cruise is about 45 minutes travelling 9 kilometers from the Quayside Heritage Centre to Taman Rempah Pangkalan Rama The boats are available daily at thirty minute intervals between the following times 930 am to 5 pm and 6 pm to 1130 pm

Malacca i s renowned for being a
16th Century ocean market junction at the Straits of Malacca It was also the meeting point between the East and the West reflected today by its colonial architecture b lending Portuguese Chinese and British styles The old town of Malacca is therefore the charm of the city and was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008

A must-see on the cruise is Kampung Morten a living museum showcasing a village thatrsquos been around for hundreds of years There are private museums here where one can get a deeper understanding of the local Malay culture including their costumes and crafts like embroidery work
You can also see the replica of a pirate ship the Eye On Malaysia Ferris wheel the abandoned Cathay cinema as well as the old express bus terminal Further a replica of a royal windmill and a fort complete with cannons around the walls as well as a large numbers of different private museums around the city can be enjoyed such as the Museum of Enduring Beauty Kite Museum and Sultan Museum Though the weather in Malacca is humid the nice screen of the city and the chilling ambience of the cruises are suitably soothing

trip on the extraordinary cities and monuments of urban Vietnam a visit to Ha Long Bay will leave you in no doubt that Vietnam also boasts some of the most beautiful natural sceneries in the world The bay features thousands of limestone karsts and isles in various sizes and shapes The Ha Long bay dotted with some 2000 limestone islets rising from emerald waters is the best known natural wonder of Vietnam The islands were formed from limestone sediments deposited at the bottom of an ancient ocean As the seas rose and fell over millennia the soft limestone was easily shaped into the towering monoliths we see today The forces of erosion also riddled the islands with caves more than 20 of which are open to tourists The islands feature endless numbers of beaches grottoes and caves
The best time to visit Ha Long Bay is from May to October when visibility is at its best although itrsquos also the hottest time of the year The easiest way to visit Ha Long is to take a tour

Test Taste
PAT TA N A F I N E C U I S I N Ehough Nimmanhaemin is home to many leading international
a challenge Thankfully this is no longer the case as for the true taste of Thailand Pattana Fine Cuisine is the place to goSituated on Nimmanhaemin Road Soi 9 the restaurantrsquos
decoration is minimalist in style while the outdoor garden offers a shady dining place and the cool modern air-shyconditioned area is a relaxing alternative A great location is matched by excellent food created by an experienced chef who used to work in a famous restaurant in Phuket Many menus have a distinct southern
the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

eparating Little India and China Town the Malacca
many ancient places as well as a modern monorail Every day and all year round both locals and foreigners come to soak in its history and diverse architecture along its banks in the form of old churches mosques bridges clan houses warehouses temples and villages that have withstood the test of time
The Malacca River cruise is the biggest surprise The muddy murky water is now quite clear with a tinge of emerald green Clean embankments on both sides stretch for several kilometres The river has also been widened and a mechanical device installed to control the depth of the water The idea was to make the river completely pollution-free so as to develop exquisite gardens on its banks and pave the pedestrian pathways to perfection
Along the way you will have a chance to experience the multi-cultural and historical fabric of the country
One can even see the Malacca tree under which Parameswara was so inspired by the sight of a mouse deer kicking a dog that he named the place lsquoMalaccarsquo
There are two types of cruises One offers recorded commentaries and the other has a tour guide on board The approximate touring time for the cruise is about 45 minutes travelling 9 kilometers from the Quayside Heritage Centre to Taman Rempah Pangkalan Rama The boats are available daily at thirty minute intervals between the following times 930 am to 5 pm and 6 pm to 1130 pm

Malacca i s renowned for being a
16th Century ocean market junction at the Straits of Malacca It was also the meeting point between the East and the West reflected today by its colonial architecture b lending Portuguese Chinese and British styles The old town of Malacca is therefore the charm of the city and was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008

A must-see on the cruise is Kampung Morten a living museum showcasing a village thatrsquos been around for hundreds of years There are private museums here where one can get a deeper understanding of the local Malay culture including their costumes and crafts like embroidery work
You can also see the replica of a pirate ship the Eye On Malaysia Ferris wheel the abandoned Cathay cinema as well as the old express bus terminal Further a replica of a royal windmill and a fort complete with cannons around the walls as well as a large numbers of different private museums around the city can be enjoyed such as the Museum of Enduring Beauty Kite Museum and Sultan Museum Though the weather in Malacca is humid the nice screen of the city and the chilling ambience of the cruises are suitably soothing

trip on the extraordinary cities and monuments of urban Vietnam a visit to Ha Long Bay will leave you in no doubt that Vietnam also boasts some of the most beautiful natural sceneries in the world The bay features thousands of limestone karsts and isles in various sizes and shapes The Ha Long bay dotted with some 2000 limestone islets rising from emerald waters is the best known natural wonder of Vietnam The islands were formed from limestone sediments deposited at the bottom of an ancient ocean As the seas rose and fell over millennia the soft limestone was easily shaped into the towering monoliths we see today The forces of erosion also riddled the islands with caves more than 20 of which are open to tourists The islands feature endless numbers of beaches grottoes and caves
The best time to visit Ha Long Bay is from May to October when visibility is at its best although itrsquos also the hottest time of the year The easiest way to visit Ha Long is to take a tour
Ha Long and staying overnight on the boat with full-board service and return transfer to the city or airport

the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

eparating Little India and China Town the Malacca
many ancient places as well as a modern monorail Every day and all year round both locals and foreigners come to soak in its history and diverse architecture along its banks in the form of old churches mosques bridges clan houses warehouses temples and villages that have withstood the test of time
The Malacca River cruise is the biggest surprise The muddy murky water is now quite clear with a tinge of emerald green Clean embankments on both sides stretch for several kilometres The river has also been widened and a mechanical device installed to control the depth of the water The idea was to make the river completely pollution-free so as to develop exquisite gardens on its banks and pave the pedestrian pathways to perfection
Along the way you will have a chance to experience the multi-cultural and historical fabric of the country
One can even see the Malacca tree under which Parameswara was so inspired by the sight of a mouse deer kicking a dog that he named the place lsquoMalaccarsquo
There are two types of cruises One offers recorded commentaries and the other has a tour guide on board The approximate touring time for the cruise is about 45 minutes travelling 9 kilometers from the Quayside Heritage Centre to Taman Rempah Pangkalan Rama The boats are available daily at thirty minute intervals between the following times 930 am to 5 pm and 6 pm to 1130 pm

Malacca i s renowned for being a
16th Century ocean market junction at the Straits of Malacca It was also the meeting point between the East and the West reflected today by its colonial architecture b lending Portuguese Chinese and British styles The old town of Malacca is therefore the charm of the city and was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008

trip on the extraordinary cities and monuments of urban Vietnam a visit to Ha Long Bay will leave you in no doubt that Vietnam also boasts some of the most beautiful natural sceneries in the world The bay features thousands of limestone karsts and isles in various sizes and shapes The Ha Long bay dotted with some 2000 limestone islets rising from emerald waters is the best known natural wonder of Vietnam The islands were formed from limestone sediments deposited at the bottom of an ancient ocean As the seas rose and fell over millennia the soft limestone was easily shaped into the towering monoliths we see today The forces of erosion also riddled the islands with caves more than 20 of which are open to tourists The islands feature endless numbers of beaches grottoes and caves
The best time to visit Ha Long Bay is from May to October when visibility is at its best although itrsquos also the hottest time of the year The easiest way to visit Ha Long is to take a tour

decoration is minimalist in style while the outdoor garden offers a shady dining place and the cool modern air-shyconditioned area is a relaxing alternative A great location is matched by excellent food created by an experienced chef who used to work in a famous restaurant in Phuket Many menus have a distinct southern
the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

A must-see on the cruise is Kampung Morten a living museum showcasing a village thatrsquos been around for hundreds of years There are private museums here where one can get a deeper understanding of the local Malay culture including their costumes and crafts like embroidery work
You can also see the replica of a pirate ship the Eye On Malaysia Ferris wheel the abandoned Cathay cinema as well as the old express bus terminal Further a replica of a royal windmill and a fort complete with cannons around the walls as well as a large numbers of different private museums around the city can be enjoyed such as the Museum of Enduring Beauty Kite Museum and Sultan Museum Though the weather in Malacca is humid the nice screen of the city and the chilling ambience of the cruises are suitably soothing

SVP Feature
trip on the extraordinary cities and monuments of urban Vietnam a visit to Ha Long Bay will leave you in no doubt that Vietnam also boasts some of the most beautiful natural sceneries in the world The bay features thousands of limestone karsts and isles in various sizes and shapes The Ha Long bay dotted with some 2000 limestone islets rising from emerald waters is the best known natural wonder of Vietnam The islands were formed from limestone sediments deposited at the bottom of an ancient ocean As the seas rose and fell over millennia the soft limestone was easily shaped into the towering monoliths we see today The forces of erosion also riddled the islands with caves more than 20 of which are open to tourists The islands feature endless numbers of beaches grottoes and caves
The best time to visit Ha Long Bay is from May to October when visibility is at its best although itrsquos also the hottest time of the year The easiest way to visit Ha Long is to take a tour

decoration is minimalist in style while the outdoor garden offers a shady dining place and the cool modern air-shyconditioned area is a relaxing alternative A great location is matched by excellent food created by an experienced chef who used to work in a famous restaurant in Phuket Many menus have a distinct southern
the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

trip on the extraordinary cities and monuments of urban Vietnam a visit to Ha Long Bay will leave you in no doubt that Vietnam also boasts some of the most beautiful natural sceneries in the world The bay features thousands of limestone karsts and isles in various sizes and shapes The Ha Long bay dotted with some 2000 limestone islets rising from emerald waters is the best known natural wonder of Vietnam The islands were formed from limestone sediments deposited at the bottom of an ancient ocean As the seas rose and fell over millennia the soft limestone was easily shaped into the towering monoliths we see today The forces of erosion also riddled the islands with caves more than 20 of which are open to tourists The islands feature endless numbers of beaches grottoes and caves
The best time to visit Ha Long Bay is from May to October when visibility is at its best although itrsquos also the hottest time of the year The easiest way to visit Ha Long is to take a tour
Ha Long and staying overnight on the boat with full-board service and return transfer to the city or airport

Test Taste
PAT TA N A F I N E C U I S I N Ehough Nimmanhaemin is home to many leading international
a challenge Thankfully this is no longer the case as for the true taste of Thailand Pattana Fine Cuisine is the place to goSituated on Nimmanhaemin Road Soi 9 the restaurantrsquos
decoration is minimalist in style while the outdoor garden offers a shady dining place and the cool modern air-shyconditioned area is a relaxing alternative A great location is matched by excellent food created by an experienced chef who used to work in a famous restaurant in Phuket Many menus have a distinct southern
the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

decoration is minimalist in style while the outdoor garden offers a shady dining place and the cool modern air-shyconditioned area is a relaxing alternative A great location is matched by excellent food created by an experienced chef who used to work in a famous restaurant in Phuket Many menus have a distinct southern
the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

decoration is minimalist in style while the outdoor garden offers a shady dining place and the cool modern air-shyconditioned area is a relaxing alternative A great location is matched by excellent food created by an experienced chef who used to work in a famous restaurant in Phuket Many menus have a distinct southern
the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

a challenge Thankfully this is no longer the case as for the true taste of Thailand Pattana Fine Cuisine is the place to goSituated on Nimmanhaemin Road Soi 9 the restaurantrsquos
decoration is minimalist in style while the outdoor garden offers a shady dining place and the cool modern air-shyconditioned area is a relaxing alternative A great location is matched by excellent food created by an experienced chef who used to work in a famous restaurant in Phuket Many menus have a distinct southern
the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is

however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is

however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

decoration is minimalist in style while the outdoor garden offers a shady dining place and the cool modern air-shyconditioned area is a relaxing alternative A great location is matched by excellent food created by an experienced chef who used to work in a famous restaurant in Phuket Many menus have a distinct southern
the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

a challenge Thankfully this is no longer the case as for the true taste of Thailand Pattana Fine Cuisine is the place to goSituated on Nimmanhaemin Road Soi 9 the restaurantrsquos
decoration is minimalist in style while the outdoor garden offers a shady dining place and the cool modern air-shyconditioned area is a relaxing alternative A great location is matched by excellent food created by an experienced chef who used to work in a famous restaurant in Phuket Many menus have a distinct southern
the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

Test Taste
PAT TA N A F I N E C U I S I N Ehough Nimmanhaemin is home to many leading international
a challenge Thankfully this is no longer the case as for the true taste of Thailand Pattana Fine Cuisine is the place to goSituated on Nimmanhaemin Road Soi 9 the restaurantrsquos
decoration is minimalist in style while the outdoor garden offers a shady dining place and the cool modern air-shyconditioned area is a relaxing alternative A great location is matched by excellent food created by an experienced chef who used to work in a famous restaurant in Phuket Many menus have a distinct southern
the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

role in public transportserving as ferries over the Grand Canal The gondola is propelled like punting except an oar is
A gondola will take you across the Grand Canal The banks of the Grand Canal are lined with more than 170 buildings which date from 13th to the 18th century demonstrating the welfare and art created by the Republic of Venice The churches along the canal include the basilica of
Santa Maria della Salute and the attraction along the way is Rialto Bridge the oldest bridge of the city One of the most interesting and beautiful bridges in
Venice is the Bridge of Sighs built in 1602 by the famous architect Antoni Contino linking Palazzo Ducale and the old prison the name coming from the prisoners who sighed on the way to the jailhouse It is also believed that when a couple riding a gondola under this bridge kisses a long-shylasting love will follow

a challenge Thankfully this is no longer the case as for the true taste of Thailand Pattana Fine Cuisine is the place to goSituated on Nimmanhaemin Road Soi 9 the restaurantrsquos
decoration is minimalist in style while the outdoor garden offers a shady dining place and the cool modern air-shyconditioned area is a relaxing alternative A great location is matched by excellent food created by an experienced chef who used to work in a famous restaurant in Phuket Many menus have a distinct southern
the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

decoration is minimalist in style while the outdoor garden offers a shady dining place and the cool modern air-shyconditioned area is a relaxing alternative A great location is matched by excellent food created by an experienced chef who used to work in a famous restaurant in Phuket Many menus have a distinct southern
the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

The city was the homeland of William Shakespearersquos famous characters Romeo and Juliet and was the actual birth place of Antonio Vivaldi the famous Baroque composer For centuries gondolas were the major
role in public transportserving as ferries over the Grand Canal The gondola is propelled like punting except an oar is
A gondola will take you across the Grand Canal The banks of the Grand Canal are lined with more than 170 buildings which date from 13th to the 18th century demonstrating the welfare and art created by the Republic of Venice The churches along the canal include the basilica of
Santa Maria della Salute and the attraction along the way is Rialto Bridge the oldest bridge of the city One of the most interesting and beautiful bridges in
Venice is the Bridge of Sighs built in 1602 by the famous architect Antoni Contino linking Palazzo Ducale and the old prison the name coming from the prisoners who sighed on the way to the jailhouse It is also believed that when a couple riding a gondola under this bridge kisses a long-shylasting love will follow

were eight to ten thousand
gondolas during the 17
th and 18th
century There are just ove
r four
hundred in active service t

virtually all of them used
for hire
by tourists Those few that ar

Test Taste
PAT TA N A F I N E C U I S I N Ehough Nimmanhaemin is home to many leading international
a challenge Thankfully this is no longer the case as for the true taste of Thailand Pattana Fine Cuisine is the place to goSituated on Nimmanhaemin Road Soi 9 the restaurantrsquos
decoration is minimalist in style while the outdoor garden offers a shady dining place and the cool modern air-shyconditioned area is a relaxing alternative A great location is matched by excellent food created by an experienced chef who used to work in a famous restaurant in Phuket Many menus have a distinct southern
the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

role in public transportserving as ferries over the Grand Canal The gondola is propelled like punting except an oar is
A gondola will take you across the Grand Canal The banks of the Grand Canal are lined with more than 170 buildings which date from 13th to the 18th century demonstrating the welfare and art created by the Republic of Venice The churches along the canal include the basilica of
Santa Maria della Salute and the attraction along the way is Rialto Bridge the oldest bridge of the city One of the most interesting and beautiful bridges in
Venice is the Bridge of Sighs built in 1602 by the famous architect Antoni Contino linking Palazzo Ducale and the old prison the name coming from the prisoners who sighed on the way to the jailhouse It is also believed that when a couple riding a gondola under this bridge kisses a long-shylasting love will follow

a challenge Thankfully this is no longer the case as for the true taste of Thailand Pattana Fine Cuisine is the place to goSituated on Nimmanhaemin Road Soi 9 the restaurantrsquos
decoration is minimalist in style while the outdoor garden offers a shady dining place and the cool modern air-shyconditioned area is a relaxing alternative A great location is matched by excellent food created by an experienced chef who used to work in a famous restaurant in Phuket Many menus have a distinct southern
the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

a challenge Thankfully this is no longer the case as for the true taste of Thailand Pattana Fine Cuisine is the place to goSituated on Nimmanhaemin Road Soi 9 the restaurantrsquos
decoration is minimalist in style while the outdoor garden offers a shady dining place and the cool modern air-shyconditioned area is a relaxing alternative A great location is matched by excellent food created by an experienced chef who used to work in a famous restaurant in Phuket Many menus have a distinct southern
the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

Test Taste
PAT TA N A F I N E C U I S I N Ehough Nimmanhaemin is home to many leading international
a challenge Thankfully this is no longer the case as for the true taste of Thailand Pattana Fine Cuisine is the place to goSituated on Nimmanhaemin Road Soi 9 the restaurantrsquos
decoration is minimalist in style while the outdoor garden offers a shady dining place and the cool modern air-shyconditioned area is a relaxing alternative A great location is matched by excellent food created by an experienced chef who used to work in a famous restaurant in Phuket Many menus have a distinct southern
the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

decoration is minimalist in style while the outdoor garden offers a shady dining place and the cool modern air-shyconditioned area is a relaxing alternative A great location is matched by excellent food created by an experienced chef who used to work in a famous restaurant in Phuket Many menus have a distinct southern
the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

Test Taste
PAT TA N A F I N E C U I S I N Ehough Nimmanhaemin is home to many leading international
a challenge Thankfully this is no longer the case as for the true taste of Thailand Pattana Fine Cuisine is the place to goSituated on Nimmanhaemin Road Soi 9 the restaurantrsquos
decoration is minimalist in style while the outdoor garden offers a shady dining place and the cool modern air-shyconditioned area is a relaxing alternative A great location is matched by excellent food created by an experienced chef who used to work in a famous restaurant in Phuket Many menus have a distinct southern
the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended

Test Taste
PAT TA N A F I N E C U I S I N Ehough Nimmanhaemin is home to many leading international
a challenge Thankfully this is no longer the case as for the true taste of Thailand Pattana Fine Cuisine is the place to goSituated on Nimmanhaemin Road Soi 9 the restaurantrsquos
decoration is minimalist in style while the outdoor garden offers a shady dining place and the cool modern air-shyconditioned area is a relaxing alternative A great location is matched by excellent food created by an experienced chef who used to work in a famous restaurant in Phuket Many menus have a distinct southern
the magic mouthwatering Crab Yellow Curry with Thai Herbs a bold southern favorite in which chunks of crab meat are soaked deeply in tasty and aromatic curry and herbs called lsquobai cha plursquo (piper sarmentosum) Fried River Prawn with Tamarind Sauce is
of spice For those that enjoy the classics Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodle with shrimp) here is exceptional while herbal drinks and Thai desserts make the meal completeThe prices may be a bit higher than other like restaurants
however when one considers the quality and taste itrsquos very reasonable indeed As the number of dining tables is limited reservation is recommended
