» My husband and I are keen mountain bikers and recently when we started planning our honeymoon, we aimed to tick one item off our bucket list as well as get some epic riding in. We agreed on Machu Picchu in Peru and we booked the Inca Trail ride, operated by Sacred Rides, a Canadian company. It is an eight-day adventure that takes a one-day break from biking to visit the Machu Picchu ruins. Perfect.

Temple tourism resurges after flood
Life, Pichaya Svasti, Published on 09/02/2012
» At weekends, Wat Phananchoeng Worawihan in Ayutthaya province is still crowded with Thai and foreign worshippers and tourists all day after last year's big flood. Hundreds of people were spotted paying respect to the presiding Buddha statue, Phra Buddhatrairattananayok, during the half an hour we spent there on a recent trip. The situation was similar at eight other temples in Ayutthaya and two neighbouring provinces we visited. Visiting temples in flood-hit areas is an opportunity for us to learn how many temples coped with the disaster and why a few were spared by the floodwater.
