Wilson Loo: Finally back in #HongKong - one of my favorite cities - after 3 years and 9 months! Pre-Covid I'd make visits once or twice a year. This has always been my favorite city to visit - the beautiful #skyline, the amazing #treks or hikes (nature really isn't t
Wilson Loo: Ended the year and started the year by having a #ChristmasMarket extravaganza - 5 in total! From cute and traditional #Christmas markets like #Koln #Cologne to the mega-markets like those in #Amsterdam, each had its own charm and allure. Europe as usual i
Wilson Loo: Finally really back on the road (or rather in the air again!) Year 2022 marked a return to the skies. 72 flights. 13 Business Class flights. 3 First Class Flights. 19 trips. 18 countries/regions visited. Looking forward to a good new year! Happy New Year
Wilson Loo: Spent an amazing weekend rekindling old memories and old friendships in #Taiwan! After not being able to visit Taiwan for close to 4 years 1 month, it's great to explore new places (#Yehliu), revisit old haunts (#Ximending) and check out amazing food all
Wilson Loo: #NewCaledonia or Nouvelle-Calédonie is an amazing #French outpost in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. With a subtropical climate, driving around the island was beautiful with landscapes ranging from idyllic beach views to the fern forest on elevated groun
Wilson Loo: #AirCalin definitely impressed me in #Business class and even the food in economy was pretty decent too! 2 meals both ways, lie flat bed with soft and thick duvet in Business and marvelous Laurent-Perrier champagne pre-takeoff. IFE can be better improved
Wilson Loo: #Penang - Pearl of the Orient. To me it's simply my family hometown and a foodie's hunting ground. Nice to rekindle old memories, revisiting old haunts, meeting old family members and of cos having familiar comfort food. While prices have inevitably gone
Wilson Loo: Finally after 3 years 20 days I'm back to #Japan! After spending much of Covid watching "Japan Hour" (for those outside of Singapore, it's basically an hour broadcast of travel around Japan on the national television), I couldn't wait returning to the lan
Wilson Loo: #pubcrawl and #foodhunt in #Bangkok, #Thailand! Wet weather in Phuket derailed plans for a resort escapade and hence detoured to Bangkok to explore quaint neighborhoods, nice cafes, world/asia-best bars with cheap and good hawker fare! Bangkok has many am
Wilson Loo: Finally managed to utilize the Covid-era voucher for Banyan Tree Lang Co, #Vietnam! Quite a trip it has been. Originally bought 2 vouchers for myself and my parents but due to inconvenient flight connections, they decided to bail out and thus decided to u
Wilson Loo: Completed a total of 2,004 miles (3,325km) two milk run flights from Brisbane to Cairns via Mt Isa! It's incredible to journey thru the #Australia outback seeing the vast remoteness and wilderness while appreciate the changing landscapes. With 8 stops on
Wilson Loo: My first long-haul red-eye flight in economy class post-covid aboard @singaporeair! An excellent experience and I slept fitfully - nearly as good as my red-eye flights in business class! Protips for flying economy: 1. Bring along a good pair of noise-canc
Wilson Loo: A weekend getaway to #Langkawi, #Malaysia with the family! Excellent and super fresh #seafood and amazing prices (Kapal Layar) that's probably among the cheapest and freshest we've ever had. Beautiful and scenic #beaches and #vistas of a #UNESCO Geopark (
Wilson Loo: Finally able to try @singaporeair #A380 #businessclass version 3! The newest business class in the fleet, it's incredibly comfortable (altho many still dislike the angled seats and cubby holes) with well thought spaces for drinks, charging and laptops/tab
Wilson Loo: Landing in #Mumbai, #India was an assault to the senses! Nothing really prepares you for India - even repeated visits! The chaos, crowds and contrasts. It's organized chaos everywhere - from roads, eateries to monuments. And there's also crowds everywhere
Wilson Loo: Finally after 3 trips to sub-saharan #Africa, 9 countries and many game drives, I finally get to see the very elusive #rhino at #nairobinationalpark, #kenya; thus completing all big 5s! 6 rhinos sighted in 2 groups was the perfect end to my safari adventu
Wilson Loo: Would you stay in a tent or lodge during a safari expedition/trip? Tent offers an arguably "authentic experience" but one has to setup the own tent (with sleeping bags and mattresses), shared public bathrooms, mostly cold showers and limited shared chargi
Wilson Loo: Upclose with #wildlife in #Serengeti national park, #Tanzania! Lots of #lions and #leopards apart from the usual #zebras and #hyenas. #africa #travel #wanderlust
Wilson Loo: Third time lucky! Finally after postponing this trip three times, I'm here in #Nairobi, #Kenya for my eastern #Africa adventures! This has been a long time coming - from personal and family health issues to Covid, it's really #TimeForAfrica (IYNYN). Can't
Wilson Loo: There's just too much good #food (and often cheap food!) in #Bangkok, #Thailand - 10 photos can't even do justice! From fancy places to dine like #sirimahannop in #asiatique (btw protip: earn Marriott points and get discount if you're elite Gold and above
Wilson Loo: A #luxe vacation and indulgence in #Bangkok, #Thailand over the extended weekend! Thanks to the amazing rates post-pandemic, was able to snag nice stays at #thesukhothaibangkok and #okurabangkok. The Sukhothai was probably the largest ever room I've ever
Wilson Loo: Beautiful #Bali! Glad to be back in Bali, #Indonesia after 3 years away. Altho many shops have closed due to the pandemic, much of the natural places still remain (arguably sans the crowds!) and there's much to see and do in this amazing island! From beau

Wilson Loo: #indulgence in @singaporeair #theprivateroom! Wine and dine with table service. Huge and tasty lobster and king prawns. Showers with Como Shambhala spa after napping in sleeping pods with comfortable zero gravity beds! #firstclass
Wilson Loo: Finally the @singaporeair #firstclass and #theprivateroom #lounge is ready! Beautifully decorated with modern finishing and beautiful artwork. First class lounge could be rather busy and full during the morning rush altho interestingly the Private Room re
Wilson Loo: Truly humbled by the scale of these #whalesharks! At one point one of them even brushed it's tail fin on my head akin to a "gentle pat"! #diving #cebu #philippines
Wilson Loo: Finally home! Returned from Bangkok aboard Singapore Airlines Economy Class which was still great in its own right! (protip: get 57A or 57K if you're traveling solo on SQ A350 Economy Class (2 class config) - you'll get extra leg room, a window and easy a
Wilson Loo: @emirates A380 continues to delight! With an onboard bar, lounge with live TV (news or sports) and bartender - it was really fun! They even take a photo using the Polaroid camera as a gift/momento onboard! Next, off to the showers! Spacious with shower sp
Wilson Loo: The wine and dine onboard @emirates B77W #firstclass #suites was simply amazing! Plenty of alcoholic beverages to choose from including a super-high end spirit worth $2k+! (Can't say I've seen any other airline doing that!). The variety extends to the foo
Wilson Loo: Gosh! This has got to be one the most lavish, luxe and fun #firstclass cabin I've ever seen or been on! @emirates B77W Suites is a fully enclosed pod that's highly entertaining to be in - with so many cool features ranging from "virtual windows" for middl
