Welcome to my blog on Borneo - Ecotourism Hub of Southeast Asia. Having travelled a fair bit in my travel blogging assignments, some of my best travel experiences are those that are least planned. This trip was essentially a photography project for three nature lodges that are owned by my former classmate, Alexander Yee, a socio-eco entrepreneur with a portfolio of tourism-related businesses.
Borneo is the 3rd largest island in the world and the largest in Asia....
The U Inchantree Resort Kanchanaburi is definitely one of the best option for visitors looking for a cosy resort conveniently located near the River Kwai Bridge should they planned a vacation in this beautiful town. This is my 2nd stay at the resort which I visited five years ago and the resort have since gained a new wing making it a 50 rooms set up. Service is still as commendable, brisk and the resort retains a peaceful ambience. Incidentally, you might be pleased to know it garnered...
In my travel assignments to date, I had the privilege to enjoy many resorts, each extolling to impart the "ultimate" experience. At Soneva Kiri, I can finally attest I found that one resort that "rules them all". Located on the secluded island of Koh Kood, the resort offers an unparalleled level of luxurious and memorable experience, cocooning its guests with impeccable service that any stay feels too short.
In this blog, I am pleased to list twelve reasons why this resort, in my humble...
Welcome to my article on "Chasing the Southern Lights in Tasmania". Whenever the subject of the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights crops up, most people think of Norway, Iceland, or the Arctic. But with the sun’s 11-year solar cycle coming to an end, these natural wonders are fading and may not be seen as often for another decade. Fortunately for us in Asia, the Southern Hemisphere has its own light show – the Aurora Australis or Southern Lights.
The Southern Lights is deemed a...

Destination Photography - Sabah 2016
A photography assignment to shoot images of my old SHATEC schoolmate, Alexander Yee's tourism and nature lodge projects in Sandakan (Sabah) finally came into fruition 3 years after the idea was first mooted. So while this album may appear like a "product shoot", I realised what a gem it was and the vast potential of Alex's tourism projects for us city folks.. The assignment was not so much to market his...
Welcome to my article on "Dolphins Watching in Lovina, North Bali". For nature lovers keen on watching wild dolphins in their natural habitat in South East Asia, Lovina at north Bali should on be their must-do list. This town is a laid-back 12 km stretch of coastline to the West of Singaraja. It is a welcomed respite from the bustle of mainstream enclaves like Kuta in the south. One thing that strikes you first is the black volcanic ash sand at Lovina Beach. From a distance, the calm water...
