Thai Traditional Costume Photoshoot (June 2023)

Posted on April 30, 2024 by missuschewy

The Chewys went on a short 4D3N to Bangkok in June 2023 during the school holidays and I cant believe it took me almost a year to post this! I have always wanted to do another traditional costume photoshoot after our last in Korea and Bangkok is the perfect place to do so.

I chanced upon Sense of Thai online while I was doing some research for our trip. They offer modern pastel colored Thai costumes which instantly won me over.

Another bonus is that they collaborate with freelance photographers so it’s very convenient to just make a single reservation for costume rental and photoshoot.

We chose the earliest photoshoot time slot which was 11am to 12pm because we wanted to just get it over and done so that we can relax and go about doing whatever we wanted for the rest of the day.

Thankfully, the weather was cloudy and kind to us despite the not-so-ideal timing. To save time, I prepared screenshot selections of the preferred costumes for all of us and simply showed them to the Sense of Thai staff to hunt for the fabric for us. We were in and out in less than 20 minutes inclusive of fitting with help from the staff.

Photoshoot location was Wat Arun temple. We had to take a ferry about 2 to 3 stops away and our photographer Aofaum was already waiting for us at the entrance. I actually contacted him via IG because the response from Sense of Thai was very slow. He actually got back to me on the same day.

There is also a small entrance fee for Wat Arun temple but the freelance photographers are stationed there all day so we didnt have to pay for his.

Aofaum was very professional and good at directing poses so we felt natural and at ease.

Hope you guys enjoyed the photos! 🙂

Teddy Bear Museum Pattaya

Posted on July 8, 2018 by missuschewy

Contrary to popular belief, there are actually plenty of children-friendly activities in Pattaya. As our flight back was scheduled in the late evening, we managed to squeeze in a trip to Teddy Bear Museum Pattaya in the morning. I had been to the one in Korea many years back and loved it so much because I really have a soft spot for all things cute!

The girls like to cuddle teddy bears too so I knew I had to include Teddy Bear Museum Pattaya in our itinerary!

This is the first and only museum in Southeast Asia which is located on an area over 2,500 square meters and is divided into 12 zones as follows: Inca Zone, Dinosaur Zone, Fossil Zone, Africa Zone, Thailand Zone, Under the Sea Zone, Eskimo Zone, Santa Town Zone, Space Zone, Fairytale Zone, China Zone and Europe Zone. Shall leave you to enjoy the photos!

Seeing that we still had time and weren’t in a hurry to rush back to our accommodation, we settled our lunch at the cafe.

Khao Kheow Open Zoo Pattaya

Posted on July 7, 2018 by missuschewy

On the third day of our Pattaya trip, we visited Khao Kheow Open Zoo! We love going to the zoo to see all the different animals but what sets Khao Kheow Open Zoo apart from the rest, is that some animals are free to roam about! The kids were thrilled when they saw these deer out in the open and were brave enough to walk up to them!

Visitors can buy some grass to feed the deer. However, they were only a handful of hungry ones while the rest seemed uninterested.

You can pat and stroke the deer.

After being in the sun for quite a while, we decided to check out the penguins and to cool off!

After this monkey was done eating, it scurried off and Chanelle chased after it. We got a shock and didn’t have enough time to react when the monkey turned around and chased Chanelle back! Good thing it ran away after snarling at her. Phew!

Book your tickets for Khao Kheow Open Zoo via Klook here!

Mini Siam Pattaya

Posted on June 26, 2018 by missuschewy

After visiting The Sanctuary of Truth on the second day of our Pattaya trip, it started to pour while we were in the taxi and so, we had to seek shelter from a nearby McDonald’s. Just nice it was lunch, so we took our time to enjoy our food while patiently waiting for the rain to stop. We then made our way to Mini Siam! I had planned The Sanctuary of Truth and Mini Siam on the same day as these two are located within close proximity, just a 10-minute drive by car.

Mini Siam is a very interesting place as you will get to see miniature landmarks from around the world! There weren’t many people when we visited and I’m so glad that we brought our tripod along to capture some family shots.

There are also some cute elements that you can find at Mini Siam. Nobody wants to be the 7th dwarf! LOL.

Hahaha are these imitation Hello Kitty and Doraemon?! Nevertheless, the girls were thrilled to see them. Actually me too!

Don’t they look like they own this house?

Marvel heroes in disguise. The kids were chasing after each other in the background when we were taking these photos.

OMG this reminds me of our Japan trip in 2016! We had visited the Fujiko.F.Fujio Museum (also known as Doraemon Museum) back then.

The girls were super tickled to see these tiny zebras and idk what are those two black things. Hippos or sheep i cant tell?

I couldn’t believe it but they were doing some kinda slow dance, maybe cha cha or tango lol.

If you enjoy taking photos as much as we do, make Mini Siam Pattaya a must-visit! Book your tickets for Mini Siam through Klook!

The Sanctuary of Truth Pattaya

Posted on June 21, 2018 by missuschewy

We visited two places on the second day of our Pattaya trip and The Sanctuary of Truth was one of them. Walked quite a distance from our Homeaway accommodation to this cafe called Good Farmer Homemade for breakfast as misterchewy found many positive online reviews.

We actually felt that the food was mediocre and slightly on the pricier side by Thailand standards. It was a good experience nevertheless. From Good Farmer Homemade, we took a Grab taxi to The Sanctuary of Truth. Journey was about 20 minutes or so.

When we reached, we were above ground level and could not see the entire wooden architecture as it was partially blocked from view. We had to descend a long flight of steps. Ladies are reminded to dress appropriately as a means of respect. Due to hot weather, I wore shorts and had to rent a piece of cloth to be wrapped around my legs before I could enter the grounds.

Mandatory shot with the signage.

Our first agenda at The Sanctuary of Truth – horse carriage riding!

The girls enjoyed the ride and were shrieking in delight, especially when the horse picked up speed. It was a nice experience admiring the magnificent wooden architecture while riding on the horse.

There was restoration work being carried out during our visit and all visitors were provided with helmets to put on as a safety precaution.

The weather was quite hot so we cooled with with some coconut drink and ice cream by the river.

The boat ride is also another highly recommended activity at The Sanctuary of Truth. The kids were particularly thrilled that we could feed the fishes with coconut flesh!

Paid 20 baht (less than SGD $1) for a bunch of grass so that we could feed the two horses before leaving The Sanctuary of Truth. Animal feeding is actually quite therapeutic!

For convenience, I recommend that you book your tickets for The Sanctuary of Truth via Klook. There are a few package options available for you to choose from! You will definitely get to enjoy some cost savings too 🙂

Swiss Sheep Farm Pattaya

Posted on June 13, 2018 by missuschewy

If you had read my earlier post on our Pattaya trip outline, you would know that we spent our first day at Swiss Sheep Farm Pattaya! I know it sounds crazy that we took a 6am flight out of Singapore but it’s not as though we had not done anything like this before. Haha! We just wanted to make the most out of our short trip!

From our Homeaway accommodation at Jomtien area, it took us about 30 minutes to reach Swiss Sheep Farm by car. The beautiful, charming and rustic Swiss-inspired architecture make Swiss Sheep Farm a nice place to visit if you enjoy taking photos. Besides that, there are many animals which you can feed at the farm.

The weather wasn’t the most ideal throughout our entire trip and it even rained on our way to the farm. Thankfully, it wasn’t raining when we reached but the skies were quite gloomy.

I got our tickets via Klook. Definitely very convenient as I simply flashed the voucher (in the form of a QR code) on my mobile phone and we managed to get in without any hiccups.

Look at these cute alpacas! All busy munching grass except for one!

I swear that I actually thought these goats were statues because there were completely still for a few minutes, until one of them turned its head ever so slightly.

The kids were so delighted that we got to see the goats up close but this was only the beginning!

Little misschewy saw some grass lying around and couldnt resist feeding the goats.

Initially, we had thought that these goats were the only animals that we would be feeding and spent quite some time there until one of the workers gestured that there were MORE waiting to be fed. LOL. Look at all these sheep!

Little misschewy was really enthusiastic about feeding the animals because when she had finished giving out all the grass, she went round picking more from the ground! The admission ticket comes with a coupon which you can exchange for a handful of grass. Additional animal food such as milk and carrots can be purchased separately at a small fee.

This sheep really very garang! It jumped over the fence and sort of chased after us. Little misschewy was really brave and calm, while I ran away screaming like a mad woman, with a bunch of grass in my hand.

Isn’t the horse cute? Looked like it was smiling ya?

I’m not sure if they rotate the horses for “horse riding duties” lol but this horse was the one and only one at the Horse Station.

It was roughly a 10-minute ride and the route includes crossing a bridge before looping back.

Apart from interacting with the animals, we also had fun taking photos at various spots at the farm! It was a good and bad thing that there weren’t many people at the farm. Good because you get nice photos without any “extras” in the frame, and bad because it’s so hard to find someone to help you with group shots! We only had three family shots! Highly recommend you bring a selfie stick or a tripod.

The weather was really hot and humid, so we were happy to see ice cream! Plus it was so cheap! Three scoops at around 80 baht, which is like SGD $3?! We had the cotton candy, yam and chocolate (hidden from view) flavors.

There were really many nice spots for photo-taking at Swiss Sheep Farm but the kids started to show signs of fatigue, hence we decided to call it a day. We also stopped by the souvenir shop to get some magnets before leaving!

The Top 10 Beaches in Phuket

Posted on June 11, 2018 by missuschewy

Phuket, located in the Andaman Sea, is the largest island in Thailand and one of the top beach holiday destinations in the world. With copious amounts of white-sand beaches, surrounded by aquamarine seas, Phuket has everything a beach lover could possibly ask for.

For those researching what to do in Phuket, there are an almost endless array of activities. From nature and wildlife tours to a lively nightlife scene, it’s all too easy to indulge in. That said, as great as the variety of experiences offered in Phuket is, it’s really all about the beaches. Here’s my pick of the top 10 beaches in Phuket.

Freedom Beach

Only accessible by boat, unless you fancy trekking through over a kilometre of dense jungle, Freedom Beach is undoubtedly one of the prettiest and most unspoiled beaches in Phuket. The quickest way to get there is on a longtail boat from Patong Beach. Once you’ve arrived and are enjoying the peace and quiet, you’ll realise it was well worth the effort.

Patong Beach

Patong is Phuket’s most popular beach. While it isn’t the quietest of beaches, it’s a great choice if you’re looking for somewhere to play and party. During the day you can snorkel, rent jet skis or chill in the sun with a drink. Come evening, switch to party mode and head to one of the many bars, restaurants and nightclubs that Patong has to offer. If the neon lights of nearby Bangla Road really appeal, then Patong could well be the beach for you.

Kamala Beach

For a slightly slower pace of life, try Kamala Beach, just north of Patong. This palm tree lined beach, spanning two kilometres, could not be more different to the lights and noise of Patong Beach, offering all the quiet and relaxation you simply won’t find on its more raucous neighbour. Even in high season, this beach never gets too busy and there isn’t the constant revolving door of tourists you often get in Patong and some other parts of Phuket.

Kata Beach

Kata Beach is popular amongst tourists who come to Phuket, but at 1.5 kilometres long, there’s more than enough room for everyone. This beach is a paradise, just not a secluded one. There are plenty of hotels, shops and places to grab a bite in nearby, so if you prefer to stay where the action is, but without having to put up with the hustle and bustle of Phuket’s busier beaches, Kata could be for you.

Kata Noi Beach

Located to the south of the larger Kata Beach, Kata Noi is quieter than its more popular neighbour. Exceptionally clear blue waters make it an ideal snorkeling location, while during the monsoon, the waves are perfect for surfers. The beach has an isolated feel, yet there are a couple of resorts and restaurants nearby, if you’re looking for a bit more action.

Pansea Beach

Pansea is a small, secluded beach situated on the west coast of Phuket. It’s almost impossible to get to, unless you’re staying at one of the two resorts that share the beachfront. This gives the beach even more allure. If your budget can stretch to a room at the Amanpuri Resort though, you’ll have the opportunity to relax on the pearly white sands and swim in the turquoise waters of this truly sensational beach.

Nai Thon Beach

As part of Sirinath National Park, Nai Thon Beach has managed to avoid much of the over-development that many of Phuket’s other beaches have undergone, making it a great choice if you’re looking for some peace and quiet, away from the big resorts. In fact, Nai Thon Beach is the antithesis of over-development, with just a few small hotels and restaurants nearby.

Surin Beach

Surin Beach could be described as an exclusive version of Patong Beach, with luxury resorts and million-dollar houses perched on the hills that overlook the sea. It doesn’t feel like a big seaside resort, but rather, maintains a coastal village atmosphere. The fine, white sand on the beach slopes away steeply, quickly turning from shallow into deep water, making Surin a great swimming destination.

Laem Singh Beach

Located between Kamala and Surin beaches and tucked away within a steep-sided bay, Laem Singh Beach is a picture-perfect Thai beach. It’s just one of the reasons it’s become an increasingly popular beach in recent years, particularly for those looking to swim and snorkel in its clear blue waters. Despite this, scenic Laem Singh has lost none of its charisma.

Nai Harn Beach

To the south of Phuket is Nai Harn Beach, a popular beach destination that has managed to avoid over-development, thanks, in part, to much of the surrounding land being owned by Samnak Song Monastery. With only a few hotels, restaurants and shops in the area, it maintains its quiet charm. Ideal for swimming and snorkeling from November to April, the currents become much stronger between May to October, making it more suited to surfers and kite-borders.

4D3N Pattaya Trip with Klook Travel

Posted on May 30, 2018 by missuschewy

Can you guys believe it? We are almost done with the first half of 2018! Fellow mummies and daddies, please give yourselves a pat on the back because you have worked hard and sacrificed for your family. If anything, you totally deserve a break and go on a holiday with your loved ones this summer! Trust me, you don’t have to travel far to have a shiok overseas trip. The Chewys flew to Pattaya for a short 4D3N getaway and we came back fully recharged! Pattaya has always struck me as a beach place with nothing but water sports activities but boy, was I wrong. Even though Pattaya is known as a resort city in Thailand, there are actually plenty of kid-friendly activities that you can plan, which I will cover in this blog post 🙂 It was a total breeze for us as we booked our airport transfers and activities via Klook Travel, Asia’s largest travel services booking platform with over 35000 activities.

PATTAYA DAY ONE

Prior to departing Singapore, I received an email with very clear instructions as to where to locate the Klook staff and upon touching down at Suvarnabhumi Airport, we boarded the van without any delays. We also received our data SIM cards from our driver without having to go through the hassle of queuing at the booth. It is especially crucial for us that we reach Pattaya in the shortest possible time since we were travelling with two young children and thankfully, the journey was a smooth one!

Book your airport transfer here.

After checking into our accommodation, we took a short break before visiting Swiss Sheep Farm Pattaya. I’m glad we made this our one and only activity for the first day of our trip so that we could take our time to explore the farm.

The kids were so excited to see the animals up close too!

The cost of the admission ticket also includes food for the animals and Little misschewy just couldn’t get enough of feeding the goat, sheep and horses!

Apart from animal feeding, Little misschewy totally digged the horse ride!

Book your tickets for Swiss Sheep Farm Pattaya here.

PATTAYA DAY TWO

We visited The Sanctuary of Truth, a religious all-wood construction. Apart from appreciating the beauty of the intricate Thai architecture, we were surprised that there were quite a number of activities to make your trip worthwhile.

It was the girls’ first time on a horse carriage ride and they were shrieking in excitement. As for me, I enjoyed admiring the beauty of the temple as the horse galloped away.

Book your tickets for The Sanctuary of Truth here.

In the afteroon, we headed to Pattaya Mini Siam, which is located near The Sanctuary of Truth, hence I planned these two destinations on the same day. The place was relatively empty, much to our surprise. At Mini Siam, you get to experience Thailand and Europe all in one place.

Plenty of photo opportunities and I’m glad we brought our tripod along to capture these precious moments! If you enjoy taking photos, be prepared to spend at least two hours there. Book your tickets for Pattaya Mini Siam here.

PATTAYA DAY THREE

We decided to take things nice and slow, hence we dedicated one full day to visiting Khao Kheow Open Zoo. It is not called an OPEN ZOO for nothing. Some of the animals are left to roam about rather freely and visitors have the opportunity to interact with them.

Khao Kheow Open Zoo certainly feels different from any other zoos, which is a pretty eye-opening experience for us! The zoo is quite big, so it’s highly recommended that you rent a buggy there to minimize exploring on foot, or arrange a private driver to take you around the premises. Book your tickets for Khao Kheow Open Zoo here.

PATTAYA DAY FOUR

Before checking out of our accommodation, we managed to squeeze in a visit to Teddy Bear Museum Pattaya, which is a must-visit if you and your children love teddy bears!

There are various zones with over 2000 teddy bears! We had so much fun posing for photos with the bears at the museum. Book your tickets for Teddy Bear Museum Pattaya here.

Things to Do in Bangkok with Kids: Recommended 5D4N Itinerary

Posted on April 18, 2018 by missuschewy

This is our final Bangkok 2018 travelogue, where I provide my 5 days 4 nights itinerary for your reference. I hope this Recommended Bangkok Itinerary for Families Travelling with Kids will come in handy especially if you are travelling with young kids like ours. As parents, we find ourselves asking what are some of the things to do in Bangkok with kids. A fair bit of thought and research went into creating this itinerary from scratch because I wanted to have a good mix of eating, sightseeing and shopping for everyone in our group as we were also travelling with my in laws.

BANGKOK DAY ONE

SIN to BKK

Ours was an afternoon flight and we reached BKK at around 3pm ICT. Good timing for us as compared to our 7am flight to Hong Kong last November. LOL.

Airport Transfer

Prior our trip, I had arranged for airport transfer from Suvarnabhumi Airport. The large van could accommodate all 7 adults, 2 children and 8 suitcases. There was a very bad jam on the way to our hotel. Journey took more than one hour.

Check-in at The Westin Grande Sukhumvit

Address: 259 Sukhumvit Rd, Khwaeng Khlong Toei Nuea, Khet Watthana, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10110, Thailand
Tel: +66 2 207 8000
Nearest BTS Station: Asoke

Our hotel is very conveniently located across Asoke BTS station, as well as Terminal 21 shopping mall. Our well-appointed rooms were spacious, cosy and reasonably priced. Slightly more expensive than most average hotels but it’s definitely worth it given its convenient location and esteemed reputation.

Pa Yak Boat Noodles

Address: สามเสนในอนุสาวรีย์ชัยสมรภูมิ ถนนพหลโยธิน พญาไท กรุงเทพฯ Khwaeng Samsen Nai, Khet Phaya Thai, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10400, Thailand

Nearest BTS Station: Victory Monument

We have been there for countless bowls of boat noodles for our past two trips to BKK too! Don’t order too many bowls if you want to leave some stomach space for other food elsewhere.

Shopping at Siam Square One

YAAAAAS! After You Dessert Cafe again! Must have it before we go back home! Happy that there’s one directly across our hotel at Terminal 21!

Check out of The Westin Grande Sukhumvit

We got our pocket wifi device from Roaming Man, which offers free delivery and wifi rental starts from just $3 a day. Very affordable and convenient! We were also very impressed by the super long-lasting battery life. It could last the entire day and we only had to charge it overnight for the next’s day usage. Connectivity is also very stable and reliable. Roaming Man wifi device helped us to stay connected throughout our trip, even along our journey to the airport after checking out of the hotel.

Home Sweet Home

Many people have this misconception that Bangkok isn’t kid-friendly, which definitely isn’t true. This was our third time travelling to Bangkok with kids and for each trip, there was still so much to see and do. Hope you find our recommended 5D4N Bangkok itinerary useful if you have always wondered what are the things to do in Bangkok with kids!

Ping’s Thai Teochew Seafood Restaurant in Bangkok

Posted on April 8, 2018 by missuschewy

Adding another highly recommended makan place to our Bangkok travel itinerary, Ping’s Thai Teochew Seafood Restaurant in Bangkok received numerous positive reviews online, which prompted me to make a reservation for our Chinese New Year reunion dinner for our trip. Won’t be reviewing the dishes individually cuz i’m too lazy lol but all I can say is that the food at Ping’s is definitely not cheap by Bangkok standards but it’s well worth the money if you want to splurge for a special occasion. All of us ate to our hearts’ content and enjoyed the food very much.

Hors D’oeuvre (THB1000)

Oyster Hot Plate (THB250)

Black Pepper Deer (THB300)

Hong Kong Noodle (THB150)

Abalone with Kale (THB2500)

Claypot Goose Web (THB400)

Codfish in Soysauce (THB1000)

Claypot Abalone Rice (THB400)

Ping’s Restaurant Group has 5 outlets in Bangkok, 2 of which – Ping’s Thai Teochew Seafood Restaurant and Ping’s Hotpot Restaurant, are both located at Pathumwan Princess Hotel, which was the outlet we patronised. Best to make a reservation as the place can be quite packed especially over the weekends! Stay connected with us on Instagram @missuschewy and on Facebook www.facebook.com/missuschewy 🙂
