While the elephants are obviously the main reason we returned to volunteer at Elephant Nature Park. The 800 resident dogs and 2000 resident cats are a big reason too #traveladdicts #travelsky #thailand #elephants

I’ve eaten at 50+ Michelin starred restaurants, including 7 3*, and I don’t think I’ve enjoyed eating any single dish more than I enjoy eating this tsukemen from Bettei Takei, in Namba 🍜 The cook on every element is perfect. The noodles have great texture and the dipping broth is 🤤 🍽️🌍 #travelsky
