I read your travel post here and I like it. What interests me is the zip adventures that you shared.

Well, how about trying our zip line facility in the City of Good Life, and by the I could humbly say its also breathtaking trying the 230 km. zip ride.

Hope you could include that in your next itinerary. Travel ladies like you are very welcome in our place .

By the way zip promo rate is presently pegged at P250/person. Grabbed it now.
Thanks.

“keep post’n”

Tiger’s one of my favorites too. Out of curiosity, what local beers would you recommend first-time travelers to your hometown try? ]]> Comment on Beer Lover’s Companion: The Most Popular Beers of Southeast Asia by Dave Briggs http://thaholiday.com/beer-lovers-companion-the-most-popular-beers-of-southeast-asia/#comment-29302 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 22:24:18 +0000 http://thaholiday.com/?p=8427#comment-29302 Love the picture of the Tiger beer – Especially as it is chilling in a Stella jug!! Both beers are on my fave list here in the UK. ]]> Comment on Top 5 Festivals in Malaysia by Eyqin http://thaholiday.com/top-5-festivals-in-malaysia/#comment-29293 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 06:43:17 +0000 http://thaholiday.com/?p=3634#comment-29293 Very good. ]]> Comment on Longest Zipline in Asia Found in the Philippines by samantha http://thaholiday.com/longest-zipline-in-asia-found-in-the-philippines/#comment-28736 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 04:57:49 +0000 http://thaholiday.com/?p=4800#comment-28736 I went on a zipline that’s 1 kilometer long here in Costa Rica and it was sooo fun! I’m not sure how high up it was but it was over the cloud forest. You had to go in pairs or else you wouldn’t have enough weight to make it to the other side. Definitely is a great moment to just relax and enjoy the amazing view! ]]> Comment on Beaches of Koh Chang by Crazy sexy fun traveler http://thaholiday.com/beaches-koh-chang/#comment-27888 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 09:00:52 +0000 http://thaholiday.com/?p=9478#comment-27888 Aw, I miss the Lonely Beach!

Thank you for pointing that out. I would suppose that buying retail is not totally uniquely Filipino – in the same way that being tightly-knit as a family is a trait shared by most Southeast Asian countries and rooting for the underdog is not exclusively Filipino – but we do take the concept of “tingi” to really micro-levels. I think it is roughly correlated to the purchasing power of the people; from what I understand “trial pack” in the United States is exactly that, until perhaps changing economic fortunes would force the people to buy them as a way of life. In the Philippines, and I would suppose in countries whose people subsist on a dollar or so a day, “tingi” is more a way of life.

Let me scout around for what would really capture that concept as accurately as possible, around the country as I speak, and hopefully, around SE Asia early next year.

Please travel to the wet/dry markets or wholesalers in Indonesia or Thailand or Vietnam and you can find the same sachets. In the US, this is even called a “trial pack”, sold in retailers such as Bed, Bath and Beyond. ]]> Comment on Travel Insurance Overview: WorldNomads.com by Fon http://thaholiday.com/travel-insurance-overview/#comment-25188 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 13:49:14 +0000 http://thaholiday.com/?p=8605#comment-25188 Recently I read a blog post about the chances of getting sick while when on a trip overseas. While this has never happened to me yet, I dread the thought of getting ill while in a foreign country. So this post about travel insurance is really timely for me. Thanks for sharing this review. I will certainly check out Worldnormads.com travel insurance policy. ]]> Comment on Beer Lover’s Companion: The Most Popular Beers of Southeast Asia by Beth http://thaholiday.com/beer-lovers-companion-the-most-popular-beers-of-southeast-asia/#comment-24373 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 11:08:01 +0000 http://thaholiday.com/?p=8427#comment-24373 Thanks for commenting.

Maybe it has something to do with our water… ]]>
