After my three-night stay at the InterContinental Bangkok, it was time to leave Bangkok behind and head to Khon Kaen. This is where I caught up with my wife and mother-in-law, and from there the three of us started the drive across to Sukhothai. We spent our first night at a temple not far from Sukhothai and started the following morning exploring Sukhothai Historical Park. Our original plan hadn't included another night in Sukhothai. However, after spending the day walking a

One of the biggest reasons I keep returning to this hotel is its fantastic location. It sits directly across the road from CentralWorld shopping mall and is just a short walk from the Erawan Shrine.

The train takes about 28 minutes and, for me, is one of the easiest ways to get from the airport into Kuala Lumpur. From KL Sentral, I ordered a Grab for the final part of the journey. About 15 minutes later, I arrived at the InterContinental Kuala

After arriving in Bangkok on my Qatar Airways flight from Doha and finally collecting my luggage, it was time to head into the city. From Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport, the taxi ride to The Westin Grande Sukhumvit took about 45 minutes. After the long journey from Toronto through Doha, including two Qatar Airways Business Class flights and my Discover Doha tour, I was definitely ready to get to the hotel and relax.

The Westin Ottawa was one of my first hotel stays that I decided to write about, and since then I have actually stayed at the hotel twice. There is a lot to like about this hotel, especially its location in downtown Ottawa. However, both of my stays also had a few issues that kept the experience from being as good as it could have been.
