    We decided to go lunching around our neighbourhood yesterday as there are so many places we haven’t tried yet.  Also, picking a dining spot around the area means you can walk meaning hatching more eggs and catching more Pokémon! Our choice fell on Bistro M at The Mariott in soi 24. We had the tuna and avocado tartare, caesar salad, tenderloin steak with Thai spicy herbs and the buffalo wings with blue cheese dip which were all delicious. The only sad thing is the presentation so I couldn’t get any good photos of the food. They also have some selection of fresh smoothies, the mango shake was amazing!

    Now I’m off to the mall to get some stuff for Norway tomorrow. Hopefully we can squeeze in some cinema time tonight aswell…

    Maprao Organic coconut water

    If I could choose one thing to drink for the rest of my life it would be coconut water. It’s super healthy, nutritious and delicious. You can find fresh coconuts pretty much anywhere in Thailand, but there are times when you are stuck in the office, in a rush or just don’t bother carrying around on large coconuts. In those cases you need an easier option… and that’s where Maprao organic coconut water comes in! It’s organic, fresh, and tastes just as amazing as it does straight from the coconut.

    Check out how green and beautiful their farm in Ratchaburi is. I love that everything is being produced here in Thailand meaning more work oportunities for the Thai people and farmers. <3

    Explore Bangkok as a local

    There’s so many things to do around Bangkok and you’ll never have a hard time finding a good list of what to do while visiting. But I feel like the list has never been updated and that there is too many places and things on repeat. So in this interview I’ve tried to mention some of the more hidden gems, and some places (like JJ Market) that are totally mainstream but has to be experienced! Try visiting at least 3 of this places and you’ll get a feeling of how it is to be a local in Bangkok, pretty amazing!

    Have you been to any of these places?

    Walking along the streets of Oslo

    There’s something special about walking along the streets of Oslo during summer time. You can hear children laughing and see families sitting in the sun eating food, drinking wine and having unlimited amounts of ice cream. People finally get to wear their skirts and short sleeves that has been tucked away in the closet for ¾ of the year.  In that moment you realize just how precious summer time is for everyone in Norway.

    There’s endless amounts of great places to eat in Oslo, but if you’re ever in the area please have some charcoal grilled burgers and beers at Illegal burger and also if you still have room for more food: the best Kebab in history (I’m not kidding) at Bislett Kebab House. Another must is to visit the 22 July Information Center. It’s located in the high-rise building in the government centre where the horrible bombings started on the 22 july 2011 and displays the timeline from that day. There’s also a room dedicated to the 77 victims. It’s very emotional but worth the visit.

    Is Oslo on your bucketlist?

    Afternoon tea at the Sheraton

    Thailand was the first place I encountered afternoon tea and I’ve been a sucker for it since. My first time will always have a special place in my heart and I’m so glad I went there because it made the best first impression ever. The place I’m talking about is obviously the high tea at Dhara Dhevi in Chiang Mai. There will never be anything quite like it. Who doesn’t love soft but crunchy macarons and green tea infused with tropical flavours…girl_afternoon_tea_pranburi_sheraton

    While visiting Pranburi last weekend we thought we should try out something other than the usual meaning Evason, Lay Cafe and OX seafood. It didn’t take long before we got set on the idea of afternoon tea. There were posters along the roads advertising afternoon tea at the five star hotels so it was hard to get rid of the idea. We quickly decided to go for Sheraton’s and we weren’t disappointed. Their decor is on point and there are nice seatings both inside and outside. We wanted to chill upstairs on the terrace but the weather was just too hot. I love how it was inspired by Thailand and the price was even lower than we had expected. The staff were just amazing too. If you’re ever in the area you should definitely sit down and try it out.

     

    Doesn’t it look yummy?
