#TouchseGoesAsia2 tour and GREAT OFFERS for HOTELS in it!

Dear Readers,

Many of you have asked of my plans for the upcoming #TouchseGoesAsia2 tour.
Of course I understand that you cannot wait to find out what's happening here 😉
...so this is it, my travel itinerary:

#TouchseGoesAsia2 / #TGA2 tour begins soon - stay tuned!

1st FLIGHT; HEL-SIN

I leave Helsinki, Finland on Tuesday 7th March 2017 to fly to Singapore, which is 12 hr flight. My flight departures at 23.55 / 11.55 pm and arrives at 17.10/5.10 pm (local time).

I fly with our very own Finnair since I love its hospitality, punctuality and the fact that their A350 planes are brand new, so the cabins are clean, equipped with latest technology. I will fly in business, as usual, since in my opinion it's the only pleasant way to fly these long-hauls. I get that not everyone can afford them, and I couldn't pay for them each time, no way, but as I travel so much, I can use my Frequent Flyer points and upgrade myself to business class and trust me when I tell you, it's totally worth it!  In case you haven't read my blog post regarding one of these lovely Finnair business class flights yet, then here is your chance:

TouchseGoesAsia - 1st leg: Hel-Sin in business class w/ Finnair

I couldn't get very good connecting flights, no matter how I tried, same option just kept coming up: I need to spend a night at the airport. My options were: I stay at Changi airport, wherein I know is great airport transit hotels, one of which even has its own outdoor pool area, or fly the next leg already immediately on Wednesday and stay at the next city.
Since I've stayed in each of those 3 transit hotels in Singapore I wanted to try something new, therefore, I chose to leave Singapore that same night.

2nd FLIGHT; SIN-KUL

...starts with Malaysian Airlines at 21.20 / 9.20 pm from Singapore and arrives to Kuala Lumpur International at 22.20/10.20 pm.
I have approximately 9 hours to kill at KUL and since I need to get a new hand bag for a certain White Party I'm attending to later on my journey, I thought KUL airport would be an excellent place to search for one - as if I needed an excuse to get a new handbag! 😎 👜
Luckily KUL also has a nice transit hotel, Sama Sama Express (at KLIA 1), in which I can get a decent night sleep, at least for about 6 hrs before my next, short flight.

3rd FLIGHT; KUL-LGN

..will be also by Malaysian Airlines, this time from KUL to Langkawi (LGN) island on Thursday, 9th March, departure at 7.35 am and arriving just an hour later to this beautiful, tropical island that I've never visited before but I've always wanted to and now I finally get to do it!
Seriously, how lucky am I?! 💖😍

The Danna Langkawi 

From the morning of 9th until the afternoon of the 11th I will stay at the Danna hotel, which has been voted two years in row to be the best hotel in Malaysia. I cannot wait to experience their hospitality. I've read only wonderful things about this place!
I will tell you all about it with photos, tweets, posts, comments during my stay and, of course, you'll get to read my all-inclusive blog post thereof. The blog post will be published later on this spring once I get back home. I will introduce hotels in the same order as I visit them, i.e. The Danna will be the first one.

Before I go any further, make sure to check out the Danna's amazing offers here: 
The Danna's Blog Offer - Don't miss it! (CLICK THE LINK!)

I would like to emphasize that this lovely paradise hotel kindly rewards guests who book directly with them with daily credits of MYR90. The credits can be accumulated to be used in food, beverages and spa, but naturally, cannot be exchanged with cash. 


So really, people, you should book through the hotel's website or write directly to them in order to enjoy those daily credits!


4th FLIGHT; LGN-KUL

...will be on 11th March from Langkawi to Kuala Lumpur by Asia Air. Departure time is 15.15/3.15 pm and since it's just a short flight, I'll be arriving to lovely Kuala Lumpur at 16.25/4.25 pm. It's about an hour drive from the airport to the city.


☆☆☆☆☆  
Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur

I will stay here for 2 days, i.e. from 11th until the 13th March and I get to watch these incredible views towards the Petronas Twin Towers every night since I'll be staying at Club Tower View Room, which means I get to enjoy all the Grand Club benefits as well.

This hotel has stolen my heart. I rarely visit the same hotel twice but this one I had to experience again. Hopefully my second visit is even better than the first one!

5th & 6th FLIGHTS; KUL-BKK & BKK-USM

..is coming up and that will by operated by Bangkok Airways on 13th March from Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok. It departures at 16.35/4.35 pm and will arrive 17.40/5.40 pm. In Bangkok I only have 1 hr, 40 minutes before my 6th leg, which will be to Koh Samui at 19.20/7.20 pm and lasts only 1 hr, 5 minutes.

☆☆☆☆☆ 
Nikki Beach Koh Samui Beach Resort

Back in Thailand! One of my favorite places! In Koh Samui I will stay at Nikki Beach Koh Samui Beach Resort, located at Lipa Noi beach. I'll be there from 13th to 16th March, that is 3 nights. During my stay I will take lots of photos, tweet and post them to social media platform, so you will get that 3rd part of my Nikki Beach Koh Samui's review, just like I promised.
I've visited this fantastic resort many times, but I'll never get bored of it. Love the ambiance, its staff and the view!
Yes - I know these dates are from Monday to Thursday. No worries there! My next hotel is not that far away and I will certainly return to Nikki Beach Koh Samui on Friday 17th to celebrate its biggest event of the year, namely the world-famous White Party! There will be everyone who is someone - and me!
😎😁🙋

I'll be there and I will tell you all about it but what would make it even better is for you to come over and experience it yourself?

Rocky's Boutique Resort 

I was invited to stay in this peaceful paradise resort for 4 days; from the 16th until 20th March. This photo's lovely spot can be found at Lamai beach.
I can't wait to meet its GM and lovely staff again, just like in every hotel I'll stay at, also in here, hospitality is the key word. Every guest feels welcome without a doubt.

After another amazing week in Koh Samui it's time to move on... and head to the airport for my next flights...


7th & 8th FLIGHTS; USM-BKK & BKK-SGN

I will leave the beautiful Rocky's resort already at 6 am on Monday morning as my flight to Bangkok takes off at 8 am. Yet another short up and down type of flight, landing only 1 hr, 5 min later, i.e. 9.05 am.
I will have 2 hours and 15 minutes in Bangkok, after which, at 11.20 am I'll continue to Vietnam, to Ho Chi Minh City, that used to be called Saigon. My flight lands at 12.55/12.55 pm, so it's just another short flight, only 1 hr 35 min.

☆☆☆☆☆ 
Nikko Saigon 
Here is a new city and a new hotel, which means I've again fulfilled my promise to see a new country on each trip. I will tell you all about it once I've completed my trip. For now, I can only say that it's a fabulous 5 star hotel and I've naturally booked a Club room due to its advantages.
After 3 days in HCMC it's time to head home.


9th FLIGHT; SGN-HEL
After flying around SE Asia it's finally time to head home and what would be better way to do it than fly back home the way I arrived to Asia? Yes, of course I will fly - again - with Finnair's newest pride; A350 plane and its business class.
It will be interesting to see whether they pay attention to my restricted diet at Vietnam's end. In any case I'm sure they'll do their best, as always, at Finnair flights to make my experience enjoyable.

☆☆☆☆☆ HOME! 

As you can see, it will be a busy trip, filled with events, flights, hotels, lots of work and writing, but I'm just grateful and happy that I get to do things I love.

I tend to enjoy every moment of my trip. It's not only about the destination and luxury hotels, it's about the journey I take and the people I meet. On each trip I've met new people that have become friends for life, I hope. There is no better reward than that.

However, knowing that there are so many of you that are anxiously waiting for my next blog is pretty good reward too, I admit! I'm so glad to hear that you enjoy reading my stories. Ok, I know I may have, occasionally, slightly more eventful trips - but only due to Mr Murphy's laws - than some others, but that's what makes life spicy. Unexpected events are its salt and pepper and it would be tasteless without them... so stay tuned, I'm sure there's plenty to come with #TouchseGoesAsia2 #TGA2 tour - after all, it's me on the road, there must be something happening, that's for sure!

I hope you all follow my trips and of course choose to stay in any of these fabulous hotels I'm here promoting. As you all know, I'm also hospitality and luxury professional so I wouldn't recommend these hotels if I didn't know that they certainly are worth visiting!


Let's live, love and laugh!
