“While deciding on our possible vacation destination, I followed the age-old mantra of ‘sasta, sundar, aur tikau’ to select a 3 nights/4 days romantic vacation in Pattaya. Our requirement of visiting a beautiful international destination that would be light on the pocket got fulfilled perfectly with Pattaya.”
As a frequent traveler, I have visited 8 destinations in the past one year. Since my childhood days, I have always felt the urge to visit as many places as possible. This time, I was looking for a short international vacation with my wife to a beautiful beach destination. I started searching for Thailand holiday packages on Google and from there I found out about TravelTriangle and their mobile application.
After doing some more research and consulting other travel portals, I realized that TravelTriangle offered the best prices for a customizable Thailand tour package.
In Thailand, I chose to visit Pattaya because it was one destination that gave an option of doing multiple things at the same place. For eg, a visit to the coral islands, water sports, try delicious Thai cuisine and shopping in Pattaya.
Trip Cost: INR 62,500
Trip Duration: 3 nights 4 days
Agent Name: Holiday Cellar

Thailand had been on my bucket list for a long time, and to strike that place off my list with my wife on a romantic vacation in Pattaya gave me an immense sense of excitement for the upcoming four days.
Day 1: An early morning arrival in Pattaya
Our journey began with a flight from Ahmedabad to Bangkok via Kolkata. We landed at the airport in Bangkok by 1 am, and after completing our immigration process, we met our driver who received and drove us straightaway to Pattaya. We arrived in Pattaya at 5 am and did an early check into Centara Grand Phratamnak Pattaya. This morning we caught up on some lost sleep and then went out for lunch at noon.
Post lunch, we started our sightseeing tour with by visiting the Botanical Garden at Nong Nooch village- an immensely beautiful garden complex home to thousands of flowers spread over 500 acres.
In the evening, we quickly returned to the hotel and got ready for the Alcazar show. We reached there a bit early making sure that we wouldn’t miss the glitz and glamour of one of the world’s finest cabaret shows. After the two-hour long show, we returned back to the hotel for the night.
Day 2: We experienced the ultimate water sports thrill at Coral Island
The second day of our romantic vacation in Pattaya began with breakfast and then we got ready for a full day tour of Coral Island. We took a speedboat from Pattaya beach and arrived at Coral Island.
Our thrilling day of water sports began with the undersea walk, and banana boat ride.After that, we took the word adventure to a whole new level with an incredible paragliding session. What made gliding 50 feet in the air all the more special was the spectacular views around Coral Island.
After we got free from the watersports at 3 pm, we returned to Pattaya via speedboat. This day, for lunch, we decided to try some delicious Thai cuisine. Normally, I’m more experimental than my wife when it comes to food, but this time both of us tried new things and liked what was offered to us.
In the evening, we wandered out to the famous walking street in Pattaya. We went there with a purpose of shopping and explore the vibrant nightlife of Pattaya.
Day 3: Witnessed the underwater animals like never before
The next day, we were scheduled for a visit to the Underwater Sea World in Pattaya. Upon reaching there, I felt like I was in a beautiful dream, as I had never been to such a huge and gorgeous oceanarium in my life. The experience of going into the glass sealed tunnel walking area and witnessing sting rays and tiger sharks float above us was truly amazing.
After that, we visited the Tiger Park in Pattaya- a sanctuary for tigers who’ve been rescued from poachers, or found injured in the wild and are unable to take care of themselves. In the evening, we returned to the Walking Street to buy some souvenirs for our friends and family.
Alas, our short yet sweet adventure in Pattaya was on its final legs. We checked out of the Centara Grand Phratamnak and started our journey back to the international airport in Bangkok.
The reason why I love to take short trips all across the map is that there is something extremely relaxing and comforting about staying at one place and exploring it to the fullest. On our romantic vacation in Pattaya, my wife and I experienced the hospitality, beauty, and diversity of Thailand. After this positive experience, my wife and I are very motivated to explore other places in Thailand.
Our family trip to Langkawi was an out of the world experience! Those 4 days of breathtaking beauty, adventure, and world class luxuries gave us infinite memories to cherish for a lifetime.It also allowed my wife and I to celebrate our five year marriage anniversary amidst heavenly nature and quite frankly, I couldn’t have asked for more.
Being a online guy, I did a lot of research before finalizing on Langkawi and was right with my decision. Earlier looking for Kashmir, Dubai, Sikkim, and even Sri Lanka, I decided to go for Langkawi since the above mentioned destinations weren’t that great during monsoon. Being already familiar with TravelTriangle, I liked their customized trip functionality and thus decided to go with them and personalize my trip my way.
Our overall booking experience with TravelTriangle was great and both the agent and the TT representative, Ashima were proactive in their followups. The quotes too, were quite value for money.
Here are our Langkawi Family Package details
Trip Type: Family
Cost: INR 140000
Duration: 4N 5D
Inclusions: Flights, Transfers, Sightseeing, Hotel, Meals, Island Hopping, Skywalk, and Cable Car Ride
Exclusions: Meals on the days we were not at the hotel, shopping, and other personal paid expenses and activities
Day 1: Langkawi, you beauty!
Upon our arrival at the Langkawi International Airport, we were greeted by the travel representative from the agent’s side who assisted us with our transfer to Vivanta by Taj – Rebak Island. Since the port from the airport was 10 minutes away and the private island from the port was 5 minutes, it was a hassle free affair!
The resort is a Taj property and as expected, it was beautiful, spacious, and extremely welcoming in its ambience. The hospitality was top notch and our room, even better! The hotel staff even surprised us with special decorations and a cake to celebrate my wife’s birthday. It was truly a heart warming gesture that we greatly appreciated.
The rest of the day was spent in leisure and enjoying the activities at the resort.
Day 2: Our many adventures in Langkawi
We visited the Langkawi Sky Bridge today and it was a fantastic experience! The Cable Car ride uphill was fantastic and thoroughly enjoyed by my kid and the subsequent Sky Walk was even more thrilling.
During the tour, we went through an Amazon like forest and saw fish farming and bat caves. There was a very interesting eagle feeding activity where a man would throw some food in the air and all the nearby eagles would swoop down and fight amongst themselves to grab it.
Note: I paid 450 ringgits for the Mangrove trip Langkawi
Next, we proceeded to the city for some water activities and here I did parasailing. It was one of the most thrilling 25 minutes of my life and I loved each and every moment of it. Seeing a panoramic view of the island had its own charm and for those brief minutes, I believed I could fly.
Note: Paid 200 ringgits for parasailing
Day 3: The incredible island hopping experience!
Island hopping in Langkawi would be one experience that is forever etched in our hearts. This half day tour on our family trip to Langkawi was amazing and I remember being mesmerized by the crystal clear waters of the lake and paddle boating with my wife.
Everything in this tour was so serene and pristine, it appeared, as if God himself came down and painted everything blue.
This was also the day of our anniversary and in the evening when we returned to our hotel, the hotel staff had arranged a beautiful cake for us to cut. It was a beautiful feeling that is hard to describe in words.
Day 4: Shopping in Langkawi
This was a leisure day for us and we made the most of it by shopping in Langkawi. We visited one of the famous malls of the city that had duty free shops and did quite a lot of shopping for our family and friends.
Later in the evening, our hotel had arranged a special candle light dinner for us honouring our 5 years of marriage and it was at a perfect location called the Moon Deck which was just by the sea.
The evening spent here in the sweet company of my wife and kid was beautiful and is once again hard to describe in words. But I will say one thing, it did make me very happy from the heart.
Note: Although the candlelight dinner was paid, it was worth every penny!
Day 5: A sweet goodbye!
This was the last day of our family trip to Langkawi and post one last delicious breakfast at the resort, we checked out and proceeded for the airport – back to India.
Our time spent in Langkawi will forever be cherished. This was one of those sweet escapes that we all dream off but only realize it true when it’s actually happening. From the incredible nature to adventure to shopping and the delightful company of my family – everything was perfect!
High Points:
Langkawi Sky Bridge – Sky Walk and Cable Car ride, Mangrove Tour, Parasailing
Half day island hopping tour
Shopping in Langkawi
Incredible hospitality witnessed in the resort
The amazing candle light dinner by the sea
Low Points: None
Tip: Do a thorough research about the resort you want to stay at for it can make a lot of difference when it comes to the type of holiday you want to have. For us, Vivanta By Taj was a perfect choice since we were sure about its food and hospitality.
In the end, I would recommend TravelTriangle to people who want a hassle free trip to Langkawi and would suggest you to choose from their Langkawi Tour Packages and get them customized.
With the Tomatina festival just round the corner, there couldn’t be a better time to visit Spain! But when questions like where to stay, where to eat, how to commute, and how much to spend start to haunt us, that much-awaited Spain getaway to experience Tomatina goes down the drain. And while most other blogs give ample information on what the festival is about, they leave out the crucial bit. But not anymore!
We have put together for you a complete guide of the Spain tomato festival with essential info like accommodation options, restaurants, bars, sightseeing options, transportation, shopping, etc, that you can keep in mind while browsing budget Spain tour packages from India.
La Tomatina will be celebrated on 25th August 2021 in Buñol. The festival is celebrated on the last Wednesday of August.
Where does La Tomatina take place?
La Tomatina takes place on the streets of Buñol, a charming little hamlet located 38 kilometers west of Valencia, its provincial and autonomous capital city, in Spain. While it may have started for a different (and certainly bizarre reason) altogether, it is now celebrated to honor Buñol’s patron saints – Luis Bertrán and the Virgin Mary.
With a population of not more than 9,000 people, the town of Buñol sat unnoticed year after year till travelers around the world caught wind of the bizarre, yet totally fun Tomatina festival that takes place here every year. As far as the people of Buñol are concerned, they are the some of the most friendliest lot you’ll find in the Europe, and definitely the most creative and adventure-loving as well (where else do you find a festival that legally allows you to throw tomatoes on one another?)
Tagged as the ‘World’s Biggest Food Fight’, La Tomatina is the Spanish tomato throwing festival that takes place on the last Wednesday of August every year. During the Tomatina festival, Spain becomes lively and cheerful than ever. The festival begins at 11 AM on the said day right after the sound of the first cannon and ends at 1 PM when the second cannon is fired to mark the end of the festival. What happens in these two hours is nothing less than a battle where participants throw, rub, and bathe in tomatoes. But the two hours of La Tomatina festival isn’t all that you’ll get to experience on your Spain holiday!
The Tomatina frenzy begins a week before the main festival. So you’ll have a week long of excitement to indulge in. Since the ideal duration for a Spain getaway is around 6 days 5 nights, you’ll have a plethora of things to explore and festivities to engage in while you’re here. Let us underline the prime events you need to look out for on your Spain trip:
A day before the festival, it’s pure madness on the streets. With music, laughter, dancing, and fireworks, the whole town of Buñol is drenched in a jolly festive spirit. After shopkeepers have put down protective plastic wraps in their shops, everyone gears up for the fun event of the night before the main festival – the Paella making competition!
Culinary enthusiasts line up to prepare the most delicious of Spanish dishes. Once the winner is announced, a grand feast begins wherein food and wine, including the freshly cooked Paella, is distributed to everyone around.
Trucks bring in and throw onto the central streets of Plaza del Pueblo more than a hundred metric tonnes of tomatoes. But the desperately waiting crowd cannot begin the festival right away! At about 10 AM, a piece of Spanish ham is put up on top of a greased wooden pole. The festival can only begin once a brave soul out of these thousands of people has climbed the pole and retrieved the meat.
It’s the most comical scene for spectators as people try to fight their way to the top in the most bizarre and awkward ways, slipping right back down each time. The warriors soon accept their defeat, and while the ham still dangles on the top, the cannon is fired at sharp 11 AM, the and madness begins!
By the time the second cannon is fired at 1 PM, the town, along with its inhabitants, has been painted red. One is not allowed to throw any more tomatoes after this time. These two crazy hours of squashing tomatoes on strangers and rolling people on the tomato pulp sprawled floor ends with trucks spraying down water on these people. What you’ll see now aren’t just de-tanned individuals, but also the shining, spick and span streets of Buñol, washed clean by the buckets of citric acid thrown over it.
Getting to Buñol is relatively easy, especially from Valencia (in comparison to Barcelona and Madrid). Getting to Buñol from Valencia: The nearest airport to Buñol is 30 miles away in Valencia. From the airport you can take a local bus, hail a cab, or simply hire a car and drive to Buñol yourself. Or you can get to the Valencia Central Station and take one of those trains to Buñol that leaves after every 60 minutes (the first one is probably at 8:08 AM). The 50 minute train journey is the most convenient and inexpensive way to get to Buñol for Tomatina.
Getting to Buñol from Barcelona: One way is take a flight to Valencia and then a road trip to Buñol by bus, car shared cab, etc. The other is to getting straight to Buñol by train, taxi, or hired car.
How much does it cost to get into La Tomatina?
La Tomatina festival tickets cost INR 750/- per person (10 Euros) and are only available to the first 20,000 people who book it well on time. But don’t fret if all tickets are already sold out.

5 ways in which you can enjoy a luxurious honeymoon in Bali
With its tropical landscape and laid-back people, Bali gave us the vibes of a very chilled-out place. On our luxury honeymoon in Bali, we found out many ways in which we could relax, unwind, and simply leave behind all the hassles and troubles persisting in our usual lives.
Here is a list of things to do in Bali on a honeymoon for an unforgettable experience:
1. Candlelight dinner
On the first two days of our luxurious honeymoon trip in Bali, we had two candlelight dinners for ourselves. The first one was like a welcome dinner on the beach with beautiful decorations accompanied with a lovely evening breeze.
The next day, we traveled to the Grand Mirage Resort for yet another candlelight dinner which turned out to even better. The ambiance of that place was stylish and elegant.
2. Rejuvenating Couples Spa Sessions
If our spirits were uplifted by unforgettable dinners in Bali, the source of physical rejuvenation and replenishment came through couple’s spa sessions on two different days. On the second day, just before our dinner at Grand Mirage, we had a relaxing spa session complimentary from the people at Samaja Villas Kunti.
The very next day, we visited the Bali Orchid Spa for yet another two-hour couples spa session. The aroma of the scented candles and the soothing music played inside took us into a completely magical trance!
Bali Orchid Spa: INR 3,550 per person (Orchid Angel Spa)
Contrary to popular belief, we found out that living in a luxurious villa all to ourselves was cheaper and better than a room in a 5-star hotel. The perfect accommodation for our luxury honeymoon in Bali, Samaja Villas Kunti offered us a top-class modular kitchen, private swimming pool and amazing interiors for an amazing holiday experience.
Thanks to an excellent recommendation by our agent, the villa that we chose to stay in was within walking distance of all the major markets in Kuta. This helped us save a lot of money we would have used for cabs to reach the market everyday.
We visited a lot of interesting shops on Sunset Road, and undoubtedly the best one was Krisna Souvenir shop. It was the ideal shop for people who wanted to shop for shirts, wood carvings, and souvenirs.
5. Exploring Cafe’s and bars in Kuta
Since the final two days of our itinerary were free, we had the liberty of exploring the nightlife of Bali a little more than the average tourist. On the second night, we visited the post happening club in Bali called Sky Garden Club. Even on a weekend, the place was absolutely bouncing and people were lining up to get in.
On the fifth day of our luxury honeymoon in Bali, we visited the Hard Rock Cafe in Bali and Potato Head Beach club. We enjoyed a delicious meal at Hard Rock and sipped on a few eccentric cocktails at Potato Head Beach club.
Over the past week, my wife and I might not have explored Bali like most people advised us to, but we enjoyed our time in Bali doing something much better. We breathed in the luxuries Bali had to offer and spent precious time with each other that we will cherish forever.
A luxury honeymoon in Bali was definitely a great idea, as it gave the best of luxury, romance, sightseeing, and a cultural experience.
High point:
Candlelight dinner at the beach was the most romantic moment of our luxury honeymoon in Bali.
Tip to travelers:
It is better to book water sports packages in advance as cannot ascertain if you will get a better deal in Bali, where there is no fixed price for water sports offered by hundreds of agents.
Experience the tropical haven that is Bali. Book your Bali honeymoon package and enjoy an unbelievable mix of beaches, temples, and culture!
