Reserving a room at a hotel in Bangkok like Saladaeng Colonnade opens the door to myriad encounters with the strangely beautiful and the beautifully strange. Among the world's most vibrant and dynamic metropolises, Thailand's capital is home to attractions that are capable of giving travelers a memory of images that can stick with them for the rest of their lives. From museums that tackle the bizarre to various creative expressions of faith, the places you are bound to experience are ones that may not be seen elsewhere.
A shrine of phalluses
If you can't tolerate the sight of the male organ, then this place is not exactly one you would want to visit first. Dedicated to Chao Mae Tubtim, a female fertility spirit, this place is where you'll find hundreds of phallus representations made of wood or stone brought in by women trying to conceive a child. These lingams stationed in the Chidlom-Ploenchit area are decorated with colorful ribbons and surrounded with fragrant lotus and jasmine garlands.
Intriguing museums
If your idea of a museum tour is beholding collections of the usual artifacts, then you have to vary your expectations when headed to this metropolis. Be ready to witness an assemblage of pirated items in Yan Nawa District's Museum of Counterfeit Goods. Can you stand flashing images of gore in your head? Then from your Bangkok accommodation, drive to Maha Chai Road and enter the Corrections Museum, where you will find penal and confessional facilities still in use just 3 decades ago. And expect being enveloped in the scent of formaldehyde at the Forensic Museum within the Siriraj Hospital, where they keep a repository of pathology, forensic, and anatomy samples.
An abandoned high-rise building
Does the description above seem a little too mundane to deserve its own paragraph in this article about the extraordinary? If you said yes, then think again. The Sathorn Unique, a 49-story edifice in downtown Bangkok was meant to be the capital's most exclusive residential complex when it was started in 1990. Seven years later, during the Asian financial crisis, it was left unfinished, and some locals speculate that it is now haunted by ghosts.
Uniquely shaped skyscrapers
Expect to flash a smile when gazing at Bangkok's skyline, as it is embellished with buildings that possess very interesting forms. In Chatuchak District, you will find the 3-tower Elephant Building dedicated to what could be the country's favorite animal. A short drive down to South Sathorn Road will already let you lay eyes on a building that literally looks like a robot complete with windows that serve as its eyes.
A 3-headed elephant statue
Another establishment dedicated to the most significant creature in Thailand's religion and culture, the Erawan Museum is devoted to a 3-headed elephant god in Hindu mythology. With a height of 29 meters and length of 39 meters, it is a gargantuan copper statue that weighs over 250 tons. When coming from Saladaeng Colonnade, go to Samut Prakan to finally be in the presence of this captivating landmark.

Manila in a Day: See the Best of the City From Sunrise to Sunset
A trip to the Philippine capital will never be complete without a visit to its famous destinations. Coming from Lotus Garden Hotel Manila, all you need to do is put a bit of sunscreen on and walk to these 4 neighborhood attractions that tell a lot about the country's history and the culture of its people.
1. Baywalk
This 2-km stretch between the US Embassy and the Cultural Center of the Philippines is the place to be for morning joggers and sunset watchers. Go brisk walking or jogging on the promenade or just hang out with new friends — the venue is free for all. Aside from the glorious sunset, a variety of hotels and restaurants can also be found along Baywalk.
2. Intramuros
Home to numerous century-old churches and structures built during the Spanish occupation, Intramuros is one of the city's oldest districts. Entrance to the Walled City is free and, with the help of free maps from the surrounding establishments, one can easily cover the entire area in a day. Try going to the Manila Cathedral, the highest seat of the archbishop in the country; Plaza Roma, which served as a bullfighting venue; and the San Agustin Church. Should you go hungry during your exploration, there are plenty of boutique restaurants and street-side canteens in the area.
3. Rizal Park
After a tour of the Walled City, walk for a few meters more and take a rest at Rizal Park. The 54-hectare park is a favorite Manila attraction for tourists and locals alike. The park is home to a number of themed gardens, theaters, and food stalls. Here, you'll find families having a picnic, local artists giving a free performance, and students practicing for school events. Try going late in the afternoon or early in the morning to avoid the brunt of the sun.
4. National Museum
Located beside Rizal Park, National Museum is a must-visit for those who wish to know more of the country's rich natural surroundings without having to go outside the metro. Established in 1901 as the natural history and ethnography repository of the country, the museum has flake tools from Old Stone Age and a skullcap from the same age found in Tabon Cave in Palawan.
After a day of walking and exploring the best historical and cultural sites in the city, come home to a warm, comfortable bed at Lotus Garden Hotel Manila.

5 Cultural Adventures To Be Had In The City Of Manila
The affordable and value-filled City Garden Suites Manila couldn’t be more ideally located to introduce the Philippine capital’s adventures and charms to tourists. As with its hotel neighbors in the old district of Ermita, this accommodation is within a stone’s throw away from various thrills that give insight into how wonderful and memorable Manila can be.
It is not a hub for ultra-relaxation for sure, but there’s a lot of multifaceted culture to soak in. Try these 5 activities that will make Manila more endearing than you’d expect.
1. Explore career options at Museo Pambata — if you’re still relatively young.
The famed Museo Pambata (Children’s Museum) has opened a new Career Options room that features notable Filipino illustrators and writers for children. The works are friendly and safe for everyone (no subversions here), which should provide a brighter insight into Manila. Iris and Danton from the Filipino-created comic book Private Iris will discuss with visitors every comic book on display, panel by panel, as well as show a behind-the-scenes look at producing stories. Viewing comes inclusive with the museum entrance fee of P100 (P50 for Manila residents with valid IDs).
Museo Pambata is at Roxas Boulevard corner South Drive, Manila. Call 523-1797 to 98 or 536-0595 for museum schedule and shows.
2. Rent a cultural costume or prop at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP)
If you’re attending a high-profile costume party while in town, head to the CCP for your outfit. The CCP, one of the iconic cultural projects instituted by Madame Imelda Marcos, rents out more than 100,000 costumes and props that were originally used by its resident theater company, Tanghalang Pilipino. You can dress like the Philippine national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, or be a local folk hero, like Darna (the Philippine version of Wonderwoman). International options are available as well: Dracula, Superman, Cleopatra, and more. To rent, submit a letter of request at least a week before you need the costume.
The Production Design Center rents out the costumes from the CCP, at the CCP Complex, Roxas Blvd, Manila. Call 832-1125 local 1423 or 1424.
3. Attend Cinemalaya, the most prestigious international film festival hosted by the country.
The Cinemalaya Film Festival, also held at the CCP, commences around June or July. Showcasing about 8 to 10 full-length films and more shorts, Cinemalaya gathers the most artistic and groundbreaking filmmakers from the Philippines and abroad. There are also several forums and discussion panels slated for each edition. At a previous Cinemalaya, the auteur Quentin Tarantino graced the entirety of the event.
4. Join a crash course in photography from the best of Filipino lensmen.
The Federation of Philippine Photographers Foundation (FPFF) conducts workshops year-round, spanning the fundamentals to advanced techniques, particularly for food and wedding photography. FPFF also provides classes on cruise ship photography, black and white photography, and digital darkroom technology. Workshops typically last 5 days, priced at around PHP 4,500. The best part about the workshops is that they are held in historic and picturesque Fort Santiago, where Dr. Jose Rizal was kept captive before his execution in 1896.
The office of the Federation of Philippine Photographers Foundation is at Room 302A EMII Bldg, A. Soriano corner Cabildo Streets, Intramuros, Manila. Call 528-0371.
5. Explore the artsy hub in the fringes of Manila and Makati.
Technically, The Collective is located in Makati, but it sits by the border with old Manila just a few blocks away. It is the underground creative center of Makati, a favorite among artistic souls, partyphiles, bikers, gourmands, and true-blue musicians. The Collective plays host to numerous acts throughout the week.
The Collective is at 7274 Malugay Street, Makati City. If you’re booked at an accommodation in Malate or Ermita, say City Garden Suites Manila, hail a cab to drive you through Quirino Avenue, then onto the South Luzon Expressway, exiting at Malugay Street.

5 Activities Leisure Seekers Must Try in Nusa Dua, Bali, Indonesia
Settled down at an accommodation in Nusa Dua in Indonesia like Ocean Blue Hotel Bali? Don't just stay inside your room — go out and do these 5 activities that will make your leisure trip more fun and memorable.
1. Take a camel ride
Preferably done early in the day to avoid the heat especially during the summer, riding a camel is something you should try when here. These animals came all the way from Australia and are just one of the many interesting attractions in Nusa Dua. Before hopping on one, listen very carefully to the guide's instructions on how to properly ride these gentle and magnificent creatures to avoid any accidents.
2. Walk on the beach
If you like a more conventional way of exploring and sightseeing, just head out of your Nusa Dua hotel and walk the beach's long stretch of white sand. There is also a 3-mile boardwalk where you will see many restaurants, stores, and booths offering fun activities. Always bring a bottle of water with you whenever you take a stroll so you can keep hydrated while the sun is out.
3. Enjoy water sports
There are also many establishments here that offer water sports. You and your friends should try canoeing, kayaking, snorkeling, and windsurfing during your stay in Nusa Dua. Without a doubt, a whole day engaging in these activities will easily be the highlight of your entire trip. Also, since all these present a huge chance of you getting soaked with sea water, it would be wise to leave your valuables, gadgets, and other similar items at your Nusa Dua accommodation.
4. Get pampered at a spa
Most hotels and lodgings in Nusa Dua have spas where guests can get rid of those stress after a long plane ride or day at the beach. Take pleasure in an aromatic spice paste treatment, massage, and a bath of flower petals. The oils and reflexology offered at the spas in the area will help clear away the negative energies and make you feel revitalized inside and out.
5. Visit the Pasar Senggol Night Market
Want to shop for souvenirs but would love to avoid the heat and crowd? Check out the Pasar Senggol Night Market. At this bazaar, you can purchase various items like handicrafts, luxurious Balinese fabric, intricately carved wooden masks, and food and sweets before calling it a day at Ocean Blue Hotel Bali.

5 Fun Activities to Do in Makati City
Staying at a hotel like City Garden Hotel Makati will place you in one of the most advantageous spots in the city to enjoy a number places and activities. Because if you think that Makati is just a place to do work, then it’s time you discovered the fun things you can do in this bustling, cosmopolitan city of the Philippines.
1. Take a refreshing stroll in a garden.
Contrary to what you might envision of what a business district is, Makati City houses a number of parks where you can enjoy a revivifying break from work during lunch, or take a stroll on the weekends. Within the concrete jungles of the city, you’ll find Jaime Velasquez Park, Washington Sycip Park, Legaspi Active Park, Ayala Triangle Gardens, and Greenbelt Park.
2. Visit a museum.
One of the best ways to enrich your stay in Makati is to visit a museum. The Yuchengco Museum, located within the RCBC Plaza on Sen. Gil Puyat Avenue corner Ayala Avenue, is a repository of Mr. Alfonso Yuchengco’s private art collection. Here, you’ll find works from famous artists, such as Juan Luna, Carlos Francisco, and Fernando Amorsolo, to name a few. There’s also the Ayala Museum near the Greenbelt malls. This museum houses 6 permanent exhibitions and a collection of ethnographic, archeological, and fine arts artifacts.
3. Play a game of bowling.
Within a mall, close to many affordable accommodations in Makati, you’ll find Superbowl Club. This bowling place is supposedly where champion Paeng Nepomuceno used to play and practice. If you ever find yourself within the vicinity, try a fun game of bowling with the family or with friends. It’s a great way to learn a new sport and bond with your loved ones.
4. Sing your heart out.
One of the things Filipino love is singing. And Makati indulges that passion with a number of videoke bars. These include Music 21 Plaza, Centerstage, and Top Grill, which are all near City Garden Hotel Makati. There’s also No. 38 Sports Lounge and Grill and Red Box Karaoke.
5. See the Guadalupe Ruins.
Giving you a glimpse into the past of Makati City is the Guadalupe Ruins. This ancient and historic site is the perfect place to see an actual archeological ruin within the confines of a bustling city. Here, you can see one of the oldest churches in the city, the Nuestra Senora de Gracia Church, which was built in 1629. It boasts of Doric architecture that can be appreciated by many people. You'll also find the ruins very accessible from many accommodations in Makati like City Garden Hotel.

Enrich Your Visit to Makati by Going on A Journey Through History
Thinking about reserving a room at 24h Apartment Hotel in Makati? You must know that although you will be staying in one of the country's most progressive metropolises, you will still get the chance to have a brush with the Philippines' rich history. This city is not all about money and jobs, and you can prove this by visiting these very interesting attractions that we have included in our list.
Ayala Museum
What could be the most sophisticated and extensive repository of artifacts that represent the nation's culture and arts, Ayala Museum is located at the intersection of Makati Avenue and De la Rosa Street. It was built in 1967 and now houses 6 permanent exhibitions. Among the most acclaimed collections here displays 60 handcrafted dioramas that depict specific points in Philippine history. If you would like to view a vast array of age-old chinaware that traces the commercial ties between China and the rest of Southeast Asia, you will also find this gallery here.
Church of Saints Peter and Paul
Constructed in 1620, Church of Saints Peter and Paul is known as the first and oldest operational church in the city. It is also considered as one of the best preserved Spanish architecture pieces in northern Philippines. During your visit, you can attend mass or simply look around to admire the impressive mix of intricacy and simplicity in the building's design. From your accommodation in Makati, you only have to go to Barangay Poblacion to reach the address of this famous landmark.
Filipinas Heritage Library
Do you want to have the chance to access over 13,000 titles that cover various subjects, such as the country's history, languages, social sciences, and arts? Then head over to Filipinas Heritage Library. Located right inside the historic Nielson Tower, the Philippines' first commercial airport, this attraction also uses state-of-the-art information technologies, so going through their collections will be easy.
Guadalupe Ruins
Truly a classic example of Doric architecture, Makati's old church known as Guadalupe Ruins will let you take a peek into history to some 400 years ago. It stands along Bernardino Street in Guadalupe Viejo, and Augustinian friars built it in 1629 and named it Nuestra Señora de Gracia Church. Once you set foot in this landmark, you will find the still intact large buttresses that support its vault of hewn stones.
Makati Museum
Already an artifact in itself — because it is almost 100 years old — Makati Museum is where you must go if you want to go as deep into the city's history as possible. Here, you will find archeological and ethnographic pieces that include ancient earthenware and fossils of prehistoric animals. As well, you will get to behold murals, photos, and documents that detail events in the thriving metropolis' rich past. To get to its address from 24h Apartment Hotel, you only have to drive to J. P. Rizal Street in Barangay Poblacion.

3 Samal Festivals You Should Experience
The Island Garden City of Samal has the perfect location for a quiet retreat by the sea. A stay at Hof Gorei Beach Resort, for example, will end a day with a satisfying dip in the infinity pool while being bathed by the golden sunset. Snorkeling and diving are also popular activities in the island with many resorts renting out equipment to those who want to see the rich seascape. Indeed, summer is the best time to head to the island and enjoy its natural wonders. But if you're not one for in-season celebrations of the sun and sand, you can choose to head to Samal Island on choice dates where the whole community is in a joyous celebration.
Here are 3 festivals in Samal that will not only relax you but introduce you to a rich culture that maintains strong ties with its environment despite the development brought about by tourism.
1. Caracoles Festival
Celebrated every April 28 and 29, Caracoles Festival is the most colorful of Samal Island's celebrations. The festival takes its name after seashells — which is called 'caracoles' in the local language — an apt symbol of summer and thanksgiving for the island's rich marine resources. The festival was inaugurated in 2005 with a week-long celebration after the local government formulated an event which will depict Davao as a top diving destination in the Philippines.
Among the regular features of the Caracoles Festival are:
Regatta – a colorful parade of boats;
Baile del Ano – a street dance featuring performers in marine animal costumes;
Estrella del Mar – a competition of sea creature costumes;
Baile del Mar – dances and circus acts performed along the white sand shore;
Recordida – a motorcade around the city;
Kumbera – an exhibit and tasting of local dishes and beverages;
Dive Congress – underwater photography workshop and contest;
Scubasurero – coastal cleanup, among many others.
2. Kabasan Festival
Kabasan Festival is celebrated every 28th of May in the district of Babak, Samal Island. During the district's founding anniversary, festival-goers can take part in a motocross challenge, fireworks display, a live band performance, and a trip to the Monfort Bat Cave. It also features a seafood market, bikini open, street parties, and a number of competitions.
3. Paniki Festival
Paying tribute to the Guinness World Records-recognized largest colony of fruit bats in the world is the Paniki Festival every June 18 to 22. The 1.8 million-strong Geoffroy’s Rousette fruit bats found in Monfort Bat Cave are said to be responsible for the bountiful harvest of tropical fruits not only in Samal but in the entirety of Davao.
Plan a trip to Samal Island and a relaxing stay at Hof Gorei Beach Resort to enjoy this unique cooperation between nature and the human community.
