    The drive to coughet airport was uneventful and it was probably one of our easiest departures ever. No queue at check-in, immigration or security. They wanted iPads out but we missed one and it wasn't an issue. And I love not having to pull out LAGS anywhere these days. SQ J gives access to The...

    The TomCat Family's Luxury Escape

    Last night in Thailand, with dinner overlooking the ocean and the sunset. We've definitely found a few favourite places to dine, namely Jasmine (ie the sunset view above) and Spinach. We also tried The eighth chapter for lunch. Lots of pancakes, waffles, fruit and avocado dishes. And coffee...

    The TomCat Family's Luxury Escape

    Lemongrass mojitos and red curry for lunch. The photos on the menu did not do this place justice (also 60b/kg for laundry so we got two birds with one stone). Followed by massages next door for three of us, they kindly curtained off three beds so we could keep an eye on Master TC as well.
