5 Places in Iceland That Will Transport You to Another Planet

Iceland has often been described as a special place with landscapes that will make you wonder if you are on another planet. On my second visit to this unique country in November this year, I had more opportunities to explore more off worldly locations in Iceland. It’s no wonder that many movies are filmed in Iceland, especially movies with scenes on alien planets or exotic landscapes. So here are 5 places on my recent trip which will make you think that you are on another planet.

Lazarus Island, On the Dot

Lazarus Island – Stay the Night

Need to find somewhere quiet to spend your weekend? Here’s how you can get away from the hustle and bustle without leaving Singapore or buying an expensive plane ticket. And you still get to enjoy some sand, sun and sea while you are at it.

Beyond the Dot, Maldives

Maldives – First Timer’s Guide

When you think of the Maldives, most people will think of luxury villas floating on top of the ocean waves with views of the setting Sun. But getting these views can be rather costly and if you are trying to figure out the various options from transfers to food packages available then read on.

Beyond the Dot, Malaysia, Mirror lake

The Mirror Lake

It seems like I get to visit Ipoh quite often because of family living there. And every trip back there I try to find something new to do in this sleepy small town which is often thought of as a place for retirees.

Australia, Beyond the Dot, Tangalooma wrecks

Tangalooma Wrecks

Tangalooma Wrecks

It’s not often that you will get a chance to see ship wrecks up close. They are usually found in deeper waters and unless you are scuba diving, you won’t get anywhere near them. However, you can swim among some wrecked ships off the coast of eastern Australia near Brisbane. So if you’ve never heard of the Tangalooma Wrecks then read on.

Australia, Beyond the Dot, Cape Byron Lighthouse

Cape Byron Lighthouse

Cape Byron

There are many lighthouses along the coasts of Australia, but none are as well known as the lighthouse at Cape Byron. The lighthouse is situated on the most easterly point of the Australian mainland. Because of this, its a great location for viewing sunrise, and you will be the first person in Australia to see the sunrise when you are here.

Beyond the Dot, Khao Soi, Thailand

Khao Soi

Thailand is quite well known for its food scene and for most people the first thing that comes to their mind when it comes to Thai food is tom yum soup or pad thai. There are also other equally good Thai foods like this crab omelette that has won a Michelin star.

Beyond the Dot, Road to Pai, Thailand

Road to Pai

My previous post was all about Pai, so this one would be all about getting to Pai from Chiangmai. Pai isn’t that far from Chiangmai at around 146 km away. But the trip there takes almost 2.5 to 3 hours as it involves driving through hundreds of twists and turns with sometimes steep gradients of up to 30°.

Beyond the Dot, Thailand, The Life in Pai

The Life in Pai

The small mountain town of Pai is quite well known in the backpacker community and has been a regular stop over for hippie travelers plying Thailand’s north. I decided to make a trip to Pai when I visited Chiangmai this year to see what the fuss was about it.

Beyond the Dot, Paramotoring in Chiangmai, Thailand

Paramotoring in Chiangmai

Taking to the skies

I’ve been to Chiangmai a few times but I’ve never realized that you could sign up for powered paragliding or paramotoring as they call it. So on my latest trip I decided that it was an opportunity to try this out.
