Last Days in Bangkok…

Written by Hollapinos

It’s funny how we appreciate things more when they are gone…or SOON to be gone…

We feel a bit in awe about leaving Bangkok. There are so many things that we are seeing in a new light simply because we took them for granted because we have lived here so long.

Here are some of our Mavic Pro Drone Shots of some of our “last days” activities.

Sadly, we were not able to fly our drone over the tallest building in Bangkok, because it isn’t completed yet and because drone flying is getting rather strict nowadays.

But we were able to take some amazing footage of the Bhumibol 1 bridge 🙂

Forgive the amateur footage, we are still learning…

And do visit again, we will have a video compiling our GoPro5 footage along with our drone footage soon.

NOTE: If you are interested in getting a drone for yourself, do use OUR AFFILIATE LINK so that we can get some much needed commission and possible sponsorship from DJI…Thanks in advance:)

Gadgets, Stuff We Did--our stories

Gadgets for our motorbike trip

Written by Marie Lamping

It is truly wild what GADGETS we think we need for our travels these days 🙂

We’re actually getting worried that we won’t manage to fit them all into our panniers on our motorbike.

And the above pic is still missing some other gadgets that weren’t available for the picture…

So here’s a list of the gadgets we have collected (we think we really need) for our trip so far:

  1. Two laptops  ⇒⇒⇒Surface Pro3 for me, Marie, and Macbook Air 13inch for Stefan
  2. Two Bluetooth mouse ⇒⇒⇒it’s really hard to just use the track pads on our laptops to blog, video and photo edit etc. We have a Logitech Ultrathin Touch and the Microsoft Designer.
  3. Two phones ⇒⇒⇒Iphone6+ for Stefan, Huawei P9 for me, which has an amazing Leica camera.
  4. Mavic Pro ⇒⇒⇒yup, we absolutely need all those cool drone shots for all the beautiful places we’re going to visit. We’re really excited to get this baby on Auto tracking..it’s supposed to be able to follow us around. I am seriously obsessed with this baby! Maybe even more than Stefan…LOL 😛 It’s a bit more complicated than expected and we are in the process of getting some much needed accessories. We’ll make a dedicated post for this gadget as soon as we complete our set.
  5. Volcano Power Bank ⇒⇒⇒This bad boy can jump-start a car! We have used it to jump-start our motorbike several times and we can charge our laptops, phones, GoPro camping lamps, flashlights etc. The only thing we haven’t found a cable for is our Mavic, but it has enough juice to charge that too!
  6. GoPro Hero 5 ⇒⇒⇒We absolutely needed a waterproof camera as we love snorkeling and when on a motorbike almost everything has to be waterproof. So far the GoPro has proven it’s worth on our many adventures. We considered getting another action cam, due to the GoPro’s higher price, but we felt that we needed something we were sure would take good footage and is hardy enough to withstand whatever may cross our paths. This baby is only a week old!
  7. Slime Power Sport Inflator ⇒⇒⇒flat tires are just part of life when on a motorbike, and because we are expecting to bring all this stuff–we also will be bringing camping and cooking gear–we need a good, yet compact, compressor to boost our tires up regularly.
  8. Garmin Zumo 340LM ⇒⇒⇒came with the map for Europe which is good as our trip will start in Den Haag, Netherlands
  9. Misc. USB powered gadgets ⇒⇒⇒camping lamps, head-strapped lights, mini fans, diving flashlights the list goes on…

So that’s our list for now…

It’s exciting, but also rather surreal that we “think” we need all these gadgets.

Here’s to hoping that we can become affiliates for these gadgets so we can make our precious $$$ back 😛
