I have long given up trying to click pictures from a moving bus. I mean I do click a few when I see beautiful landscape but without much hope. Most of them get blurred. My road trip from Poipet-Siem Reap was an exception. Poipet is on the Thailand-Cambodia border and popular for road crossing. The sky was full of white fluffy clouds, and with the rolling paddy fields it was a magical combination. It kept me glued to my window seat! I liked the landscape so much that I tried to click pictures in earnest. There are only three good…
I visited Thailand and Cambodia in September 2021. It was a memorable trip. I was there on invitation from Tourism Authority of Thailand. It was my first Thailand Cambodia trip. It was also my first experience of visa on arrival which went without a hitch at Bangkok! Tourism Authority of Thailand was quite gracious as they got us into Bangkok a day early. That day could have been utilized to recover from the travel fatigue. But every extra day in a new country is meant for exploring and that is what I did. My first stop in Bangkok was the…
One my recent visit (2021) I could not find the fast track line anymore. Please keep this in mind while reading the post which was written earlier. Please also look at the online visa option for Thailand, it helps you to go to a separate counter and beat the queue. I have been thinking about writing of Thailand visa on arrival for Indian citizens. My first visa on arrival experience has been with Thailand at the Suvarnbhumi International Airport in Bangkok. I am not counting the Nepal experience in this list because if you travel by air to Nepal you…
I enjoy all my trips. And now that I have got that out of the way, here are some of my truly memorable trips. I know this is a personal list but hopefully you will identify with some of it? It was so darn hard: I never have any difficulty in picking up my most memorable trip till date. It is without a doubt my trek to the Everest Base Camp in Nepal. Every day of the trek I was never sure if I would be able to complete the trek. In my conversations I only cribbed and complained. When…
The invitation from Tourism Authority of Thailand came quite close to the actual trip. I have piles of work on my table to finish if I wanted to make that trip. I managed to finish every bit of it as the motivation was great, if I completed everything I would get to enjoy the Amazing Thailand for second time! Plus, I would come to more or less clean table as it is summer vacation time in the college. No, the college for me doesn’t close but it is easier to take leave when the classes are off. When I told…
When the plane started making its descent at the Queen Alia International Airport, Amman, Jordan I was hooked to my window seat. If someone could have seen me from the other side, they would find my face quashed flat against the window. The landscape unfolding beneath was unlike any other I had seen ever before! It held me completely in its thrall. I was traveling to Jordan on an invitation from Jordan Tourism Board. This has been my maiden trip to Middle East! The Jordan trip is always going to be special for me because I got to photograph Pope…
