Cebu Pacific Airline Meals: Same meal, different destinations, different price

October 25, 2024

Cebu Pacific Airline Meals: Same meal, different destinations, different price. Why do you think there's a price difference?

The price of the char siu chicken is 320 pesos for the Manila-Singapore flight. While the char siu chicken is 520 pesos for the Manila-Melbourne flight.

Things you should know about booking Forbidden City tickets

October 9, 2024


THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT BOOKING FORBIDDEN CITY TICKETS:

You can get 25% OFF FORBIDDEN CITY TICKETS here: 25% OFF Forbidden City Tickets


1. NEVER BOOK FORBIDDEN CITY (a.k.a Beijing Palace Museum) TICKETS LAST MINUTE! As soon as you know the date of your visit, book it. You cannot walk in and you cannot get tickets last minute. 

2. When you book the ticket, you don't immediately get the ticket. Sale of Forbidden City tickets open only a week before your intended date. You're merely asking the travel agent to buy the tickets for you the moment ticket sale opens for your date of visit. If and when they are able to buy it, that's the time you get the booking confirmation. 

3. Forbidden City tickets are very high in demand. Tickets are usually gone the moment ticket sale opens. There are only a certain number of tickets released each day and you can only buy it online.

4. Make sure to write the name reflected in your passport. Your ticket is actually your passport. When you arrive at the entrance of the Forbidden City, you present your passport and they input your name as reflected in your passport in the computer terminal to check if you have entrance tickets.

My tip on how to get an authentic massage at Wat Pho

September 16, 2024

My tip on 
How to get an authentic Thai massage at Wat Pho 

Wat Pho is an ancient temple in Bangkok and the home of the famous Reclining Buddha. It is also where the first Thai massage school was opened. Knowing this, people who want to experience authentic Thai massage tend to go to Wat Pho. So it's not surprising that the line will be long and waiting time would be an hour. My tip would be to reserve a slot at the massage place when you arrive at Wat Pho, then tour the place and see the Reclining Buddha. By the time you finish touring the place, it will be your turn for the massage





Another alternative is to go to the Wat pho massage school outside the temple area, about 260 meters from the Chetuphon gate of Wat Pho. Its the same service you'll get but waiting time is shorter because the massage school has more therapists and space is bigger. Waiting time is 40 min.

If you've seen the Temple of the Reclining Buddha and would just like to have the massage, head straight to the wat pho massage school near the river instead of going to the temple. You'll save 300 baht entrance fee that you'll have to pay if you have the massage within Wat Pho temple grounds. 




Checkout the photos below for the rates and location. It's interesting to note that they're offering something new: Thai massage with cannabis oil.

My experience checking in at Suvarnabhumi Airport

MY EXPERIENCE CHECKING IN AT SUVARNABHUMI AIRPORT, BANGKOK

If you're flying from Suvarnabhumi Airport to an international destination, make sure to arrive at the airport 3 HOURS BEFORE YOUR FLIGHT. Lines are usually long at the check in counter and at immigration. 

Our family used both Cebu Pacific going to Manila and Scoot Airlines going to Singapore. Both Cebu Pacific and Scoot check in counters at Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok) open only 3 hours before the flight. The check-in counters were closed when we arrived there early and opened exactly 3 hours before the flight. 




We tried using the self check-in kiosk of Cebu Pacific and we were able to print the boarding pass but not the bag tags. So we still needed to line up at the check-in counters for bag drop to get the bag tags. They also reviewed our passports once again and reissued our boarding pass. The line at the check-in counter in took 15 min, whether or not you checked in online. 



Scoot check-in counters had no line at all. I guess 3 hours before the flight is too early to check-in for passengers travelling to Singapore. At Changi Airport, you only need to arrive and check-in 2 hours before the flight, and sometimes






But in our experience at Suvarnabhumi Airport, checking in 3 hours before the flight is just right because the line at immigration and security is long, and the walk to the gate is very long. We just had 30 minutes to take a quick bite of food at the lounge near our gate. Then we had to leave because they were already boarding.

So my advice is to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before your flight, to avoid having to run to the gate,

My tip on where to change baht at Suvarnabhumi Airport

MY TIP ON WHERE TO CHANGE BAHT 
AT SUVARNABHUMI AIRPORT

It seems that the more remote the location of the money changer, the better the rates. This means that the ones that you won't get good rates at are at the more convenient area at the arrival hall compared to the more remote money changers at the basement level near the airport link that goes to the city.

We changed peso at the orange kiosk of Superrich Thailand at the basement level. You go down 2 floors from the arrival hall, which is at the 2nd floor. Although we chose Superrich, you can also get good rates at the money changers beside it like Happy Rich and Kasikornthai.







The exchange rate I got is 1 peso =0.61 baht. For 10,000 pesos, I got 6100 baht. No hidden fees or other charges. You can see today's rate in the photos below.

Food you can buy in 711 Singapore

FOOD YOU CAN BUY IN
711 SINGAPORE 

When you're in Singapore, checkout out the 711 stores. They have very interesting foodstuff in small and individual packs that's great for tasting. If you simply want to taste them, it's better to go to the 711 store rather than the bigger stores because food can be bought in individual packs. For example, the Magnum osmanthus oolong is sold at CS fresh in packs of 4, while it's sold individually at 711.

The photo below was taken at 711 UE Square.
