Oslob, Cebu, Philippines: More than just whalesharks

by Regin Reyno

Oslob, once a sleepy town in southern Cebu in the Philippines is now a world-famous destination because of the whalesharks. It was my dream to swim with those gentle giants, so just two days ago, that dream became a reality. I went to Oslob from Cebu City and swam with whalesharks. The experience was breath-taking. One of my best experiences so far.

Ploykhumthong Boutique Resort: A Pet-Friendly Hotel in Bangkok

by Regin Reyno

Before heading to Suvarnabhumi Airport for our trip to the Philippines, I decided to stay in Bangkok first to avoid being too much stressed in traveling. I am traveling with my dog, a Teacup Shih Tzu. And living in Muang, Ratchaburi province, 2-3 hours from downtown Bangkok, it’s nice to stay first in a hotel near the airport. Traveling is stressful to a dog, and it’s nice to have a break first before that flight to the Philippines.

I chose Ploykhumthong Boutique Resort, a pet-friendly hotel located 10 min. from Suvarnabhumi Airport. It was recommended to me by a fellow Filipino expat who also went to the Philippines with her Japanese Spitz and also stayed in this hotel.
