- Blog Coral Reef Restoration At Samae | Red Planet
Coral Reef Restoration At Samae San Island Article posted Thu, 28 Mar 2019 Earth Hour strikes this Saturday, and we’ll turn off the non-essential lights at Red Planet Hotels . But our planet needs a lot more love than an hour a year. Red Planet Thailand and 80 volunteers from Baan Din Thai Volunteer Spirit Network planted new coral reefs last Saturday at Samae San island in Chonburi. Students and participants with interest in marine conservation got hands-on experience in restoring the marine world and understanding the human impact on our oceans. Coral reefs are the tropical forests of our seas and home to a quarter of all marine life. And for anyone swimming in tropical waters, the beautiful rainbow colours of coral reefs can be an unforgettable sight. A colourful, healthy coral and algae covering its tissue depend on each other for survival, and the algae provide a food source for the coral. When it becomes stressed (often due to human behaviour), the algae will abandon it, leaving the coral without nutrition and turning it white. This is called coral bleaching. As corals cannot survive in high water temperatures, climate change and global warming are the main reasons for coral bleaching. And particularly in popular tourist destinations, like in Thailand, certain chemicals in sunscreens are paralysing and sometimes killing the ecosystem. Amazingly, these damaged coral fragments can be nurtured and replanted at a new site creating healthy reefs 50 times faster than Mother Nature. After the recent coral farming efforts in the bay on Phi Phi island, many non-profit organisations have started their coral restoration programmes. The result? It creates better living conditions and feeding grounds for many fish species (like big reef sharks and tiny chromatic fish like the ones you saw in Finding Nemo). And if you had lobster or crab on your dinner plate, it’s likely that it relied directly on the coral reef for nurture and spawning. So, next time you plan to eat seafood — remember to give some love back to the corals. Coral reef restoration is one of many projects where we aim to make lasting contributions to the environment.
- Blog Why Makati City Looks A Lot Like | Red Planet
Why Makati City Looks A Lot Like Korea Article posted Fri, 22 Feb 2019 Here’s our guide to the best Korean eats on the streets. On a dimly lighted alley in Poblacion, a man in half-buttoned chef’s jacket accepting a fresh shipment of seafood greets the delivery man “Annyeonghaseyo,” and steps through the back door into the kitchen. You’ll hear the famous greeting and a lot more Korean language in the old downtown of Makati City — the Philippine business district. Poblacion has embraced some of the modernity and economic development, yet stays true to its old-world charm. And this once peaceful suburban community has transformed into an energetic hub for both locals and foreigners. After South Korea surpassed the United States in tourist arrivals in 2006, business establishments targeting the Korean market started to dot the way from Makati and Kalayaan Avenues to the side streets of P. Burgos, eventually mapping out Poblacion’s Little Korea. And what do foreigners miss when abroad? Their food and drinks. Korean barbecue, gogi-gui, is a popular way of cooking meat on a charcoal grill built into your dining table. And the best way to experience Korean BBQ? The all-you-can-eat way. Just a few steps away from Red Planet Manila Makati , Matgalne offers lunch and dinner buffets for only 500 pesos. The unlimited beef and pork Samgyupsal makes you want to order more, and more, and more until you need someone to roll you down the stairs. If you need to do serious peso-pinching, stop at Happy Samgyeopsal at Durban Street. With a smaller selection, you can have a similar KBBQ experience for just 299 pesos. The sleek, new GAJA Korean Kitchen opened recently on the Kalayaan Avenue. The beautiful digitally projected art pieces on the wall make the dining room look like an upscale art gallery. Step closer to the poster of a masked woman, and open the door to a hidden bar contrasting the stripped-down, minimalist design of the restaurant (be sure to check in at both). You will find all the Korean classics on the menu, but they won’t taste or look like grandma’s. Gaja! — that’s Korean for “let’s go.” Move to P. Burgos street. You’ll find restaurants like Kwang Tot Coal and San Sung, both of them offering classic Korean eats and drinks with matching music. And If you want your Korean barbecue with the feel and views of Poblacion old town, eat at Jumong or Minsok on Don Pedro and Villena streets. These traditional, ordinary Makati buildings were converted into restaurants to cater primarily to the increasing number of Koreans visiting the city. Oh, you just need some kimchi and spicy sheets of seaweed for munchies? You can get most of that from the convenience stores located on P. Burgos, Don Pedro, and Polaris Streets. They have instant noodles, beers and shochu, sweets, and obviously, Korean ice cream. If you are looking for a Korean vacation outside of Korea, book a flight, stay with us, and experience the taste of Korea without breaking the bank.

- Blog Survival Guide to Sapporo Snow Fest | Red Planet
Survival Guide to Sapporo Snow Festival ARTICLE POSTED FRI, 15 MAY 2020 If you’re looking for pop colours and dying trees, this one might not be for you. Sapporo is known for lavender fields and autumn hues, but this event is on the cooler side. From 31 January to 11 February, the capital of Hokkaido embraces the cold at the Sapporo Snow Festival. The Sapporo Yuki Matsuri’s (literally Sapporo snow festival) powdery history dates back as far as the 1950s, and since then has become synonymous with Sapporo winter for tourists and locals. The entire city will be at its cosiest, but impossibly pretty things built from snow and ice will be spread across three main sites. Satisfying snacks, fun contests, and wintery activities — Sapporo Snow Festival is Disneyland for the whole town. And it’s free entry. Odori Park Grab your camera (or set your Instagram on boomerang) for a long walk in the park and admire the snow sculptures at Odori Park. Stretching as far as 1.5 kilometres, you’ll have endless food stalls, a skating rink, ski jumping, live entertainment, ice slides for the children, and even an ice bar for some sub-zero booze. Tsudome None is better than Tsudome for snow games. While great for children, they have something for older revellers, too. There are gigantic snow slides and a towering snow maze for you to get lost, but also indoor sites with food and drinks. Susukino The downtown area of Sapporo is a short walk from Odori Park, and it will definitely cut the ice. Here, most of Sapporo gets ready to watch the ice sculpture contest for who will win the coolest prize of the year. And you’ll get to have physical contact with the icy artworks at the interactive events for some standout photo art. Why should you go Susukino last? The sculptures are the prettiest at night with magical illuminations. When is it? 31 January – 11 February. How much are the tickets? Free. Where can I find more information?

- Blog Six Of The Best Phuket Destinations | Red Planet
Six Of The Best Phuket Destinations Article posted Thu, 18 Apr 2019 Phuket, aptly named the pearl of the Andaman for being a rare, beautiful jewel held inside the protective shell of the Malay Peninsula, is the largest (and probably the best known) island in Thailand. Your first idea might be to fix a sun lounger in the sand with a case of cold ones by your side. But you should know Phuket doesn’t end at the golden-sand beaches. We have curated a list of destinations and activities to help you plan your next trip to the well-known island. Phra Phutta Ming Mongkol Akenakiri Try pronouncing that to the taxi driver. Luckily for us, it also goes by the moniker Big Buddha temple which should get you to one of Phuket’s major attractions sitting atop the Nakkerd Hills. The whopping 45-metre image is made of concrete and covered in white Burmese marble. You can buy the same marble tiles, sign your name on them, and be forever placed inside the Big Buddha. And even better, you can experience the best 360-degree panoramic views of the southern cape of Phuket island, Phuket Town, Kata beach, Karon beach, and Chalong Bay. Address: 42/14 Moo 2, Thepkrasatree Road, Ratsada, Mueang Phuket, Phuket Entrance fee: it’s free Opening hours: every day from 8am to 7pm Phone number: 081-891-3827, 076-373-138-9 Old Phuket Town The architect-approved (and without question, Instagram-approved) part of Phuket town mixes old, colourful Sino-Portuguese buildings with newer Thai decor. For much of the artsy side of Phuket, the old town has been the hub for museums and street art, but also local restaurants and cute, little boutiques. Walk down the charming streets while photographing yourself in front of the beautiful murals. And if it’s a Sunday and all stars align, Phuket walking street (Lard Yai), a lively street with tons of food and entertainment, sets in motion along the Thalang Road in the heart of the old town. Address: Lat Yai, Phuket Old Town, Talang Road, Mueang Phuket, Phuket Entrance fee: it’s free Opening hours: Lard Yai (walking street) on Sundays from 4pm to 10pm Phone number: Tourism Authority of Thailand (Phuket office) 076-211-036 Thai Hua Museum If you want more history than Phuket’s Wikipedia page can offer, you should visit the Thai Hua museum. But this is not another story about the French East India Company and their mining efforts in southern Thailand. Thai Hua museum, formerly a Chinese language school, narrates the history of the Chinese population in Phuket through the eyes of tin miner migrants. So, if you’re interested in little-known historical stories with lots of posters and short films, admit one to Thai Hua museum in old Phuket Town. Address: 28, Krabi Road, Talat Nuea, Mueang Phuket, Phuket Entrance fee: 50 baht Opening hours: every day from 9am to 5pm Phone number: 076-211-224 Wat Chaiyathararam (Chalong Temple) Chalong Temple, or if you really like tongue twisters, Wat Chaiyathararam, is considered the largest temple complex in Phuket. At least it’s the most visited. Plus, it’s a favourite spot for both locals and tourists because of its long history and accomplishments in herbal medicine. The colours and decor of the temple buildings and the white pagoda are stunning and pay homage to traditional, ornate Buddhist architecture. Address: 70 Chalong House, Chaofa Road, Moo 6, Chalong, Mueang Phuket, Phuket Entrance fee: it’s free Opening hours: every day from 7am to 5pm Phuket FantaSea is Thailand’s (and obviously the world’s) first Thai cultural theme park. This is the destination for 60 acres of theatrical shows, a gigantic themed buffet restaurant, and an entire shopping arcade on Kamala Beach. Address: 99 Moo 3 Rim Haad Rd., Kamala, Kathu, Phuket Entrance fee: 1,800 baht for show only, 2,200 baht with buffet dinner (see show schedule) Opening hours: every day except Thursdays from 5.30pm 11:30pm (see show schedule) Phone number: 076-385-000 Flying Hanuman Have you ever wondered what it feels like to take Tarzan’s preferred mode of travel? Stop wondering, and book yourself for the Flying Hanuman experience. If you aren’t scared of heights and danger is your middle name, climb on a sling or a ride down the zip line from atop the waterfalls. They have 28 zip lines, starting from child safe short lines all the way up to big boy lines. The whole activity takes around two hours, and it’s worth every second. Address: 89/16 Moo 6 Soi Namtok Kathu, Wichitsongkram Road, Kathu, Kathu, Phuket Opening hours: every day from 8am to 5pm Entrance fee: varies by date and time Phone number: 081-979-2332, 076-323-264 Book your next stay in Thailand with us.

- Blog The Only Cafe You Need To Visit In | Red Planet
The Only Cafe You Need To Visit In Tokyo Article posted Fri, 17 Jan 2020 What makes Café Kitsuné probably the most Instagram ready coffee shop in Tokyo (and brews a great cup of espresso). Café Kitsuné is in no sense a new place in the upscale Minamiaoyama neighbourhood which sits next to the high-end fashion boutiques of Omotesando. It opened already in February 2013 and has shot up in popularity ever since. You might be one of the 84,000 followers on their Instagram page @cafekitsune. l. Taking inspiration from its parent brand, the famed French-Japanese fashion brand Maison Kitsuné, the café seamlessly blends elements of Japanese and French culture, design, and cuisine. When you enter the cafe, you’ll be greeted by the friendly staff, who will escort you to your table with the world-class service for which Japan is renowned. After 7pm, table lamps are replaced by candles, which allows you to truly appreciate the one-of-a-kind, impressive architecture and atmosphere that separates Café Kitsuné from other coffee bars (this place really becomes a bar in the evening). The menu offers a range of coffee, including espressos (JPY 370) and cold brew (JPY 570), as well as Japanese-style drinks such as hojicha lattes and matcha lattes. What’s more, they sell baked goods such as the famous fox-shaped cookie (JPY 330) and red bean paste filled dorayaki (JPY 350). If you’re in Shibuya and looking for a break from the hustle of Tokyo city life, make sure to stop by Café Kitsuné for a cup of coffee to relax, unwind, and enjoy the slower side of life. We’re sure you’ll have a great experience at this Japanese-French fusion cafe. Kitsuné also has a coffee roastery and café in Okayama if you’re heading that way.

5 Amazing Thai Dishes You May Have Never Tried Article posted Wed, 01 Aug 2018 We don’t blame you for wanting to order tom yum soup or perfectly fried rice every meal during your trip to Thailand, but don’t miss out on some of the lesser known foods in the meantime! Allow us to introduce you to some slightly off the radar dishes that will have you immediately booking your next trip to Thailand. Warning: drooling may ensue. Yum Pla Duk Foo Crispy, sweet, and sour, this dish hits all the marks. What looks like a mound of fried batter is actually fluffed up and fried catfish topped with tart salad made with green mango. Bua Loy Let’s be honest, anything that involves sweet coconut milk is bound to be irresistible. But add tender little rice balls to the mix, and happy taste buds are guaranteed. This traditional Thai dessert combines soft and chewy rice balls with taro dumplings, soaked in a warm bath of coconut milk. Pro tip: order it with a syrup-poached egg for some extra oomph! Khao Soi Gai Hailing from Chiang Mai, this noodle curry has become a country-wide favourite. Egg noodles, pickled shallots, and a juicy chicken thigh sit pretty in a soup of coconut curry. Best part? The crispy noodle toppings! Sai Oua Another awesome northern speciality that made waves around the country is the beloved northern sausage. The pork sausage is stuffed with a medley of herbs like lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime leaves, and is grilled until golden brown. Make a meal of the delicious aromatic sausage with the addition of sticky rice and nam prik noom, a green chilli paste. Tom Saap Kradook Moo Love tom yum soup? Get in on tom saap kradook moo, a hot and spicy pork rib soup that gives the tourist-favourite a run for its money. Tender pork ribs, tomatoes, and mushrooms swim in a broth of lemongrass, garlic, shallots, and other flavour packed ingredients. Best enjoyed with a side of sticky rice!

- Blog How To Eat In Nagoya | Red Planet
How To Eat In Nagoya Article posted Fri, 08 Feb 2019 When it comes to travel, tasting local cuisine is always something on our to-do lists. That’s why Nagoya, famous for their local delicacies, is one of Japan’s most exciting cities to visit. Here are some of the best of the city’s local dishes that can’t be missed when visiting Nagoya . Unagi hitsumabushi (chopped eel over rice) Unadon, or eel rice bowl, is a staple food all over Japan. You know, the long slices of eel carefully placed on a bed of steamed rice. Well, forget about that. The Nagoya unagi hitsumabushi is a very particular way of serving eel on rice. You get the usual bowl of rice but with the eel chopped over. To not look like a total fool in the restaurant, you should taste the divine eel as it is. And then, add chopped green onions and wasabi to elevate the flavours of the two. Now you’re ready to pour over the fish broth and enjoy whatever you have left of your eel. You can find us eating unagi hitsumabushi at Atsuta Horaiken , which is a hitsumabushi restaurant that opened in 1873. Just drop off at Temmacho station. Miso nikomi udon (soybean paste stew with wheat flour noodles) You can slurp on udon noodles anywhere in Japan, but miso udon is native to Nagoya and hard to find anywhere else. The noodles in miso nikomi udon are more al dente than usual, which can be surprising to people trying the savoury soup for the first time. There was no mistake in the kitchen — that’s just how they are served. Our favourite miso nikomi udon is at Yamamotoya . Misokatsu (pork cutlet with soybean paste) Bored of the typical vinegary katsu dressing? That tangy flavour is Worcestershire sauce, which is the main ingredient in the sauce outside Nagoya. Misokatsu is a deep-fried, breaded pork cutlet served with, not surprisingly, miso sauce. The sauce goes great with rice, and even when you have finished the pork, you will lick your plate clean because of this magical sauce. Rally your foodie friends and head to Yabaton . It was established in 1947 which means they know how to make misokatsu. Tebasaki (spicy chicken wings) Japanese for buffalo wings; not really, but it could be. Because tebasaki is spicy, seasoned chicken wings that are so tasty that you don’t miss the blue cheese sauce. The crispy wings were created at the Furaibo and popularised by Sekai no Yama-chan restaurant. Now everyone in Japan, not only in Nagoya, knows tebasaki. And rightfully so. There are two tebasaki restaurants in Nagoya that we love visiting. Furaibo , established in 1963, is the inventor of tebasaki. Sekai no Yama-chan is different, but equally delicious. Why not try them both? We are just scratching the surface of Nagoya ryori. On your next trip to Japan, try these, but try everything else. That’s how you find your favourite.
