It’s hard to describe exactly what Addiction Aquatic Development is because it’s so much more than just a seafood market or restaurant. It’s like a seafood superstore the likes of which I have never seen anywhere else. If you love seafood, then it’s something you need to see for yourself to understand.
Opened in late 2014, RAW is the newest restaurant of Taiwanese-born chef André Chiang. In less than four years, it’s become one of Taipei’s hottest restaurants, praised equally for its striking interiors as it is for its innovative tasting menus.
Rainbow Village and Gaomei Wetlands are two interesting but often overlooked attractions in Taichung, mainly because they’re more difficult to get to on your own. Kkday makes it easy by offering guided tours to both places that start either in Taipei or Taichung.
Before our trip, I read that Taiwan’s east coast is near and dear to the hearts of many Taiwanese. For them, it’s a special place, perhaps the most beautiful in Taiwan. We went on a day tour of Taroko National Park and our guide Tony described how it’s one of the only places in the country where you could enjoy the mountains and ocean all at once.
After experiencing Yee Peng in 2017, I wanted to write an article describing the ins and outs of the festival, something that could answer important questions about the event in a single post. If you’re looking to attend the 2019 Yee Peng Festival, then I hope you find this guide useful.
What drew me to Elephant Nature Park is it’s “no elephant riding” policy. There are no bull hooks here, no elephants forced to kick soccer balls or paint for the entertainment of tourists. Instead, the park functions as a true rescue center and animal reserve.
Many people who visit Chiang Mai do bucket-list-worthy activities like visiting an elephant sanctuary or attending the Yee Peng or Songkran festivals. But there’s a lot you can do within the Old City as well, less epic but equally memorable things like cafe hopping or conversing with monks.
Wat Phra That Doi Suthep in Chiang Mai may not be as unique as Chiang Rai’s White Temple, or as grand as Wat Pho in Bangkok, but for me, it’s the most beautiful. It’s a striking temple and my favorite thus far in Thailand.
Major attractions like Wat Rong Khun and Baan Dam Museum are located outside of the city, but there are a few lesser known temples you can visit within the city’s limits. They aren’t as spectacular as the White Temple but they do make for a pleasant few hours of temple hopping without the distraction of crowds.
