Back in one my favorite spots in The Philippines ♥️♥️ This is the GORGEous scenery on the way to Puning Hot Springs in Pampanga. 📸@raymart_escopel
.
It's an easy day trip from Angeles City/Clark. From the jump-off point, an exhilirating 4x4 jeep ride over lahar terrain & through these narrow canyons takes you to Puning, where you can enjoy the therapeutic hot spring pools (heated naturally by Mt. Pinatubo), a unique Lahar Sand Spa & my fave, the Volcanic Mud Pack.
.
Exploring provinces north of Manila is now easier thanks to Cebu Pacific's newly launched direct flights to Clark from Iloilo, Bacolod & Tokyo-Narita. #detouristaXcebupacific #CEBfliesClark #CebuPacific #CEBtravels #detourista

Meet James Bond Island in Thailand. This spot was made famous by the James Bond movie 'The Man with the Golden Gun'. Went here on a day trip from Phuket, but you can also reach it easily from Krabi. James Bond Island is part of the vast Pha Nga Bay group of islands, which is filled with lots of limestone cliffs, dense forest & hidden lagoons. .

Where to go outside Bangkok? If you love visiting heritage sites, Sukhothai in North Thailand is one of the best places to go. This city was the capital of the first Thai kingdom. Lots of beautiful temple ruins to explore here 🥰

Amazing Thailand ♥️ Extremely thankful to re-discover Bangkok's beautiful temples last summer, this time, with my dad, brother @markycaratao & last but not least, my 📸 mom who's always patient in taking photos for me when we travel together... tripod can rest easy 😅
.
This is Wat Pho, famously known as the "Temple of the Reclining Buddha." (take note that he is not sleeping). The image of the Buddha in this reclined position represents the entry of Buddha into Nirvana and the end of all reincarnations.

Enjoying this retro side of Thailand while it still exists. Went to the Maeklong Railway Market near Bangkok, where you can experience a local market running along the train tracks. It was fun to see the stalls clear up, like the parting of the Red Sea, as the train slowly creeped towards the terminal.

This is one of the most iconic images of Thailand — the Buddha head hiding in tree roots. This spot is located in the ancient city of Ayutthaya, which is around 1.5 hours north of Bangkok by land. You can find the Buddha head in Wat Mahathat (temple). Although "hiding," it's easy to find since there's usually a crowd gathering in the area.
