While admiring a building, sometimes I stop to think how architectects can come up with amazing and originals designs and shapes. Often I am wowed about how creative they can be, which materials they choose to use and how they manage to mix good designs with efficient functionality. I want to dedicate this photo selection(…)
Built in 1892, the Chinese-Art Deco style Shanghai Mansion Boutique Hotel has a terrific history that covers the phenomenal growth of Bangkok over the past 100 years. Luckily, we were there in May 2013 to add our unique characters to the building’s life story. History Owned since it’s foundation by the Sarasin Dynasty – one(…)
Where is Cavey? Pinkie the Cavey really wanted to share with you this photo in front of the Kyoto’s Golden Pavilion that miraculously has no other people in it. Pinkie loved the amazing Japanese garden surrounding the temple and he wish he can go back there one day during the winter when the snow has(…)
During our various stints in italy I’ve seen some remarkable vehicles. Classics, modern greats & radically unusual. Choosing the best car to hire in Italy is an important moment as it can transform your holiday or full-time travel escape in the country.

So that’s why we took our little travel mascot to the SIAM Center in Bangkok and he loved it! What is Cavey? There(…)

Traveling for months through Asia made us at some point feel ‘templed-out’. The last thing we wanted at the end of our time in Thailand was to keep seeing more and more temples, but, after hearing about the White Temple or Wat Rong Khun being the most eccentric, original, unusual and unique temple in Chiang(…)
Kyoto has a big reputation of being one of the most beautiful and traditional cities in the whole of Japan. We personally didn’t fall madly in love with Kyoto like most other travelers.
