Watch List | September ‘22

Watch list tag game :) Tagged by @25shadesoffebruary and @dragonsareawesome123

Currently Watching (Binging)

Checkmate I love Agatha Christie and I am loving how they are adapting her stories so far! I find Poirot a bit irritating (I’m more of a Miss Marple fan) so I have been greatly loving Si Tu Yan especially in the Poirot parts - he is a huge improvement. I am not very familiar with the Republic Era of China so it is giving me lots of things to research later.

Currently Watching (Airing)

About Youth which is so good! The characters are so soft and layered and have very different conflicts, and I am loving watching them support each other

The Eclipse also phenomenal! I love how aggressively P’Golf and the scriptwriters are being with their political/social commentary, and both First and Khao are such fantastic actors. Every time Khao cries a piece of my heart dies forever 

180 Degree Longitude Passes Through Us this is shaping up to be one of my favourites of the year, it has a very moody-queer-film vibe with highly complex characters and relationships

Takara-kun to Amagi-kun I am warming up to this one, I was pleasantly surprised with the very frank discussion of readiness for sex, sexual boundaries, and how much care Takara-kun is showing in his understanding of consent. I really value seeing these kinds of open and honest discussions becoming more commonplace in media for teenagers, it reminds me of a similar storyline that recently ran in the Heartstopper comic. 

Girlfriend Project Day 1 (I know it’s technically not airing but it only ended this week so I am keeping it in this column because I haven’t completely finished the last ep) I am enjoying it a lot, they did an absolutely fantastic kiss scene which I wasn’t expecting, so that was nice. It’s retreading the same ground as Love Class, and I wish it had the same run time as that series so I could compare and contrast the 2 series better, but alas. The curse of painfully short GLs.

My Only 12% Cake is the best character of all time, he is such a kind and caring friend. I am scared the whole time watching this show because I am waiting for it to trample my heart because Wabi Sabi.

Vice Versa I am a bit behind on this and having been watching through gifs for the last couple of eps tbh. I am having trouble letting go of my expectation of a more sci-fi based show featuring lots of archery. If I can manage to do that I think there is lots to enjoy for what the show is, my expectations were just simultaneously drastically different and extremely high.

Still airing but on hold: Coffee Melody, War of Y and On Cloud 9

Not BL, but I am going to start the new Bee & Puppycat today, which I am very excited for

Rewatching:

Bad Buddy with my cousin

Looking forward to:

Never Let Me Go this is one of my most anticipated shows of the year, I love mafia settings and I am hoping for lots of angst, drama and betrayal

Wish You Luck the trailer was amazing! I am chomping at the bit for next summer, I am loving the greater variety of genres we are getting and Tonnam was fantastic in Triage

Nighttime in the Suburb I have some anxiety as always about how the asexual character will be handled, but I also tend to trust the Philippines on handling more unusual queer storylines so

The Uncanny Counter S2 give them back to me!!!!!

Home School I need it now! Very The Eclipse/The Gifted vibes. Also Chimon!!!

Art Adore En I was sold as soon as I saw a polycule in the trailer, it looks like exactly my kind of messy

GAP may this kick off a new trend where the sapphics stay winning. I also adore FreenBecky 

Chains of Heart the synopsis looks great! Very pulpy and dramatic!

Moonlight Chicken P’Aof and EarthMix are some of my favourites, and I am curious where they go with a very different storyline than they have done before

Summerdaze I loved the mock trailer for this, I really hope there is news soon. I want them to open another crowfunding campaign because I missed the first le sigh

I am also impatiently waiting for an adaptation of Transplant to be announced, Sammon adaptations are always great and I just really need TanBunn back

Tagging: anyone who would like to do it, and feel free to say I tagged you so I can see your answers! :)

Four Luxury Camping Experiences in Southeast Asia

Linkedin Instagram Twitter Website Google Plus Trip Adviser You Tube Pinterest Reddit Tumblr Medium Flickr Blog Behance Infonid

Luxury camping, or 'glamping' as its also known, is on the rise. Once the preserve of high-end safari camps, you can now stay under canvas – with all the creature comforts – in destinations worldwide. In Southeast Asia in particular, a number of new luxury camping sites have been springing up over the past few years, offering the chance to get back to nature without roughing it entirely. Some camps even offer the chance to get involved with conservation projects on site, a great way to give back to the local economy and minimise the environmental impact of your stay. We've picked out four luxury camps to try out across Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam.

Luxury Camping, Khao Yai, Thailand

Explore Khao Yai

A couple of hours north of Bangkok, Khao Yai is known first and foremost for its Unesco-listed National Park, the first nature reserve of its kind in Thailand (it was established in 1962). The park has an extensive network of trails, with many waterfalls and wide variety of wildlife to spot, from elephants to gibbons. But there's plenty more to do here besides the national park. The area is a popular weekend escape for Bangkok's residents, and you'll find everything from one of Thailand's few wineries to a contemporary art museum and sculpture garden. Khao Yai is also home to numerous Vegas-style themed resorts, including a Hobbit-style Shire and a recreated Italian village. Worth visiting for the novelty factor alone!

Thinking of planning a luxury camping trip? We can help! Try our new tailor-made travel service and enjoy a fully personalised trip staying at these or other glamping spots in SouthEast Asia

Lala Mukha Tented Resort

Perhaps the most glamorous of the glamping spots in this list, Lala Mukha is a luxury resort under canvas. There's an infinity pool, stylish terrace restaurant and a choice of safari-style tents or luxury tree houses. Just five minutes from the entrance to the park, you're guaranteed unspoiled views, too.

Luxury Camping in Luang Prabang, Laos

Explore Luang Prabang

A town filled with graceful temples and orange-clad monks, the picturesque Luang Prabang asks to be enjoyed at a nice slow pace. Although it's now a well-worn stop along the backpacker trail, this highly cultured town has a lot to recommend it. The atmospheric streets are Unesco protected meaning that those misty views over the Mekong river are still the same as they were centuries ago. Don't miss the morning market, or Wat Xieng Thong, the town's most impressive temple.

Kamu Lodge

Kamu Lodge is a tented camp with solid eco credentials. The owners are committed to minimising their impact on the environment, and they work with two local Khmu villages, offering visitors the chance to experience the local way of life and learn traditional crafts like bamboo weaving. The tents (equipped with thatched roofs on top of the canvas for extra sun protection) have individual solar panels to power the lights, and there's no wifi or TV. Each tent has a veranda overlooking the Mekong river, ideal for quiet contemplation.

Luxury camping in Koh Kong, Cambodia

Explore Koh Kong

The largely undeveloped area of Koh Kong is something of a paradise for nature lovers. The Cardamom mountain range found here is home to some of the world's rarest species, like the Asian elephant and the wonderfully named clouded leopard. Consider organising a guided day-long trek to explore the virgin forests and impressive waterfalls hidden in the hills, though spotting a clouded leopard is sadly unlikely. For some beach time, hop on a boat to Koh Kong island, home to several pristine beaches with good snorkelling. Alternatively, explore the mangrove forests outside Koh Kong town at the Peam Krasaop Wildlife Sanctuary. If you're lucky you might see a pod of Irrawaddy dolphins.

Cardamom Tented Camp

Just inside Boutum Sakor National Park, Cardamom is another camp that takes its eco responsibilities seriously. By staying at the camp you are helping to keep the lands in the surrounding area out of the hands of loggers and poachers. Guest are also encouraged to take part in conservation activities like replanting trees, in partnership with the Wildlife Alliance a US-Cambodian organisation (and part owner of the camp). Accommodation is in spacious safari-style tents with rain showers and private patios and there's also a communal restaurant (with wifi connection that comes and goes).

Luxury Camping, Lak Lake, Vietnam

Explore Lak Lake

Some 150 km north of Da Lat in the Central Highlands, Lak Lake was once a favourite beauty spot of Emperor Bao Dai (r. 1926 to 1945), who built a palace overlooking the water. Nowadays it's a popular spot with tourists, many of whom come to take part in "traditional" Vietnamese excursions like gong shows and, unfortunately, elephant rides. Nonetheless, visitors who manage to dodge these activities will be rewarded with lazy days on the lake – you can hire a longboat operator to take you out on the water – and the chance to explore the Mnong villages of rattan and stilt homes along the lake. To head slightly further afield hire a bike and head into the countryside where there are coffee and rubber plantations to explore.

Y Lak Tented Camp

Set on a green hill over looking the lake, Y Lak Tented Camp offers both tented lodges and wooden bungalows, depending on how rustic you feel like going. All the rooms have lakefront balconies where you can watch the spectacular sunsets over the lake, and room service if you don't feel like lifting a finger. There's a restaurant housed in a tastefully restored longhouse, surrounded by an organic garden, where the chefs grow herbs and vegetables destined for your plate.
