Exploring Tham Lod Caves in Mae Hong Soon, Thailand

Image
Before we reached the town proper of Pai, we went to one of the amazing caves in the whole of Thailand called THAM LOD CAVE. Since it was very accessible for a cave, a lot of of tourists have been drawn into it, except when the waters are high during heavy rain. Exploring inside it was easy as the bamboo raft takes us to one cave after another and there were steps installed. But we encountered a snake along the way, and I was really shaken because it was my first encounter of a snake in real life! Watch this informative video.

Roadtrip to Pai Memorial Bridge | Pai, Thailand

Pai Memorial Bridge Our Thailand adventure continues on as we hit the road from Chiang Mai to go to the small town up to the northwest of Thailand called PAI. The journey took 3 hours from Chiang Mai and along the way, we stopped by some great spots.     Getting on the wooden ferris wheel Wooden Ferris Wheel at Doi Kiew Lom Viewpoint First, we stopped by a local restaurant to try a local Thai noodle soup called 'Khao Soi' which was amazingly filling and yummy. Since we are light eaters, it was enough for lunch. Apparently, it's a dish that's only widely available in Northern Thailand. Our fave Thai noodle Khao Soi Then along the way, we stopped by at the Doi Kiew Lom Viewpoint where you can see an amazing view of Pai. There were lots of backpackers and tourists in that little park up there, taking photos and taking turns in riding the wooden ferris wheel. It was quite a challenge getting on it and making it turn manually with the help of

Just walking distance from where we stayed in Chiang Mai, there were lots of tourist spots to check out. So after lunch, we walked towards Wat Chedi Luang and then later that night, we went to watch Muay Thai Boxing live.

Doi Suthep Temple in Chiang Mai, Thailand

Sarita and Marlou at Doi Suthep Temple Driving 15 kilometers away from Chiang Mai city proper, we were able to see one of Thailand's sacred temples and a must-visit spot in Northern Thailand. Wat Phra That Doi Suthep or Doi Suthep Temple was named after the mountain in which it is located, Doi Suthep Mountain. The monks normally do their morning rituals during sunrise and evening rituals during sunset. And we actually missed the morning rituals when we arrived there. But it gave us more time to explore the temple itself. We also met some cute corgy dog family!

Reuploading Videos On Our New Youtube Channel

Image
CLICK TO SUBSCRIBE! Hey guys! So I've been a Youtuber since 2005 but I was never really drawn to go full blast on Youtube. In fact, looking at my main Youtube channel now, it felt more like an archive of this-and-that videos: personal vlogs, band videos, travel, events, projects, etc. And since I still have lots of travel videos to share now that I'm in a mood to edit videos and blog again, we have decided to create a separate channel on Youtube which is just solely for Power Couple Travels . And I thought it would be a good idea to re-upload all our travel videos to our new channel coz why not?! So hope you can all support Power Couple Travels on Youtube   by subscribing and watching our videos. Love lots, Sarita

Power Couple Joins The KCK Fun Run 2018

THE FUN RUNNERS Joshua, Brandon, James, Jasmine, Edlyn, Imelda, Marl, and Myself After a busy night at work entertaining a Saturday night crowd at the Lobby Lounge, we were fetched by our friends Imelda and Terry together with our friend Edlyn, to bring us to their place so we could easily all go together to the venue of the fun run. But upon reaching their place, instead of sleeping, we ate supper and talked until we felt tired. Luckily, we had a very quick nap just before our alarm set off at 5AM. At around 5:30AM, we were picked up by Brandon, a staff at Terry's company Pembinaan Tetap Teguh (PTT), and brought us to the venue in Klang where the fun run would take place. When we arrived there, there were already lots of people in red shirts, some in blue. However, since the three of us (Marl, Edlyn, and myself) are just joiners or what we call " saling pusa ", we didn't have spare t-shirts from the fun run. But we didn't come empty handed because we also w
