Pino Latte Resort And Cafe

Previously:


In the top of the mountain, fresh breeze, chilly wind.  An early morning accompany with a hot cup of coffee and a piece of cake with a million dollars view.  What more can I ask?  This Pino Latte Cafe got the hot spot and landscape.  They also provide limited huts to stay as well, however it comes with a bit of price compared to any other resorts around the town.  But of course we need to pay something for this amazing view, right  And the rooms fill up very quick, as they only have 5 luxury rooms.  It is a modern style resort with a nice design.

The cafe itself will get crowded around Thai public holiday.  Otherwise, any other weekdays is the better time to visit this place.

From Bangkok To Khao Kho: Lopburi, Phetchabun, Phu Ruea


Previous end of the year trip was headed to Eastern Thailand until entered Laos as well.  We slept at 5 different cities and also a few other cities for just a short stop over.  Everyday we moved hotel.  It was pretty hectic and little tired but above all we were enjoyed this trip.

We left super early in the morning to reach the first town called Lopburi, the city of monkeys.  Monkeys in here live and move freely around the town but most of them are based on the old temples.  They are quite harmful but don't try to tease them.  After that we visited the sunflower field not far from there.



Monkey is easely climbing between the electric cable. 

Sunflower field
The sunflower field is only blossom around end of the year (November - January).  Massive field full of sunflower blossom and very picturesque.


After that, we kept driving further North to have our breakfast at the famous Kai Yang (Grilled chicken) Wichienburi.  It is a must try.  The food came very quick and all were spot on.  Grill chicken was juicy and smelt char-grilly good.  All saap (delicious in Isan).

Le Meridien Hotel, Phuket

Previously:

Le Meridien Hotel, Phuket is a luxury five-star hotel, situated a little outside the town and the busy Patong beach.  It is located in the Karon beach with private ocean front and peacefully surround by secluded cove.  






It was a weird rainy season in Thailand when we were there.  Therefore, most of the time we spent inside the hotel room and used hotel facilities.  As usual, we like to order in-room dining for dinner.  Very convenient.   It was a good meal but nothing outstanding from all. 

Beef Rendang
For the next day lunch, we went to the restaurant and had the Beef rendang served with steamed rice and kerupuk (prawn crackers).  It was really really delicious.  The broth was very thick and creamy with pungent and fragrant taste.  The meat just pulled off from the bone.  And for our dessert, we had this set of fondue that served with fresh fruits, marshmallow and biscotti.

They also have an extensive range of breakfast, from asian to western style breakfast, from light to heavy one.  It was a good breakfast and left us very full.
