Photos: The Best of Songkran in Bangkok

Celebrating Songkran in Bangkok was one of my favorite adventures during my six months in Southeast Asia.

And while it’s incredibly hard to get good photographs while everyone is throwing water at you, I managed to get a few good shots. Here are my favorites.

Flowered shirts, water guns and the back of a pickup truck — the ideal way to celebrate Songkran!

It wasn’t so bad getting drenched with the warm water hose at Wild Orchid Villa! Ste attacks here.

Think the water fights are off-limits indoors? Think again. (And Darren, you really do give us the best poses.)

Thanon Rambuttri — one street over from Khao San Road — is filled with thousands of people, as are the surrounding streets.

This little boy was the tiniest Songkran participant I saw, and absolutely adorable with his little water gun!

Taking a tuk-tuk? You might as well be painting a bull’s eye on yourself.

Me, Ste and Darren — badass Songkran warriors!

Motorbikes? More like moving targets. (Please don’t hit any drivers in the face — you don’t want to cause an accident!)

Who says you can’t look stylish while soaked to the bone?

I love when I introduce different groups of friends and they become friends! Ste went to uni in Poi‘s hometown, and they bonded.

This crafty group picked a spot where they can easily duck beneath the wall — well-played, crew, well-played!

The final Songkraning — Darren, Ste and I get attacked with clay on the final night of Songkran. It was a great three days.

30 Things to do in Nuremberg, Germany: The Ultimate List!

Looking for things to do in Nuremberg, Germany? This list has you covered with everything from the touristy musts to quirkier offbeat finds. Enjoy! I’ll be real: Nuremberg is a place that’s easy to fall for. This world-famous city, located in the north of Bavaria, is every bit the fairytale dream so often linked to Deutschland : candy cane half-timbered facades, an epic castle on a hill, dangerously munchable gingerbread, and a glittering Christmas market to boot. But as with most amazing cities, the true magic of Nuremberg comes from its dynamic layers. Lurking beneath those photogenic facades is a dark past intertwined with war, genocide, and centuries of tumultuous history. It is precisely this duality that makes Nuremberg one of the most fascinating cities to visit in Germany, and one that you can keep visiting again and again. So, what is there to do in Nuremberg? It turns out, plenty of things. Below you’ll find a roundup of my favourite things to do in ...

The Amazing Punta Banda Peninsula in Ensenada

If you visit the port city of Ensenada, chances are you are going to be offered a tour to La Bufadora, a famous blowhole located on the Punta Banda Peninsula. For many, La Bufadora has become one of Ensenada’s top attractions. As a consequence, it is a bit difficult to take off the entire area out of the “tourist trap” list. However, I believe Punta Banda is worth well a visit due to its natural, rugged beauty. You can find cliff vistas, sea stacks, and small coves. On a sunny day, the place is just gorgeous. On this article, I want to cover the area from the touristic and non-touristic perspectives. I’ll let you choose how you want to visit. About Punta Banda Ensenada is located in the Todos Santos (All Saints) Bay. The southern portion of the bay is delineated by the Punta Banda Peninsula, a finger-like strip of land. Almost at the tip of the peninsula (at the end of the paved road), you are going to find La Bufadora, a feature described as a marine geyser or tidewater bl...
