Travel Tips Sharing. Reviews LUX South Ari Atoll Maldives Jensen Chua Travel Blog

The very mention of Maldives always conjures up image of a tropical paradise - crystal clear turquoise water, coconut palms on white sandy beaches, amazing marine life and luxury resorts.

My short vacation to Phuket (a popular beach side resort island) after a gap of more than 15 years.

The beach scene have been cleaned up - you can now bring your own mat, rest on the beach without being harassed to rent one of those beach chair plus parasol and seems the jet-ski or time-share scams are no more.
