Join an Ice Cream Making Workshop at MOIC

Who doesn’t love ice cream? This September holidays, don’t just bring your kids out to eat ice cream; learn how to make your own too! Museum of Ice Cream (MOIC) is bringing back its Ice Cream Making Class for a limited time, especially for the term break.

In fact, classes are only open on 3 days – 7, 9, and 11 September 2026. Each day, only 2 classes will be held, with one at 11am and the other at 2.30pm. These 45-minute sessions will get participants behind the counter, creating their own signature sundaes.

With the help of MOIC’s Scoop Professors, ‘students’ will experiment with classic flavours like chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. As they make ice cream and add on their own toppings, they will also learn about the history and science behind the frozen dessert. At the end of the class, all participants will even receive a Scoop Master Certificate! 

This experience is available as part of the Ice Cream Making Class Ticket Bundle (S$63) at MOIC, and is recommended for participants aged 6 and above. The ticket bundle also includes entry to MOIC, which participants can use after the workshop to continue exploring the museum’s multi-sensory installations and treats.

Beach

1. Freedom Beach

If you’re looking for a secluded slice of paradise away from the tourism masses, why not visit Freedom Beach – turquoise water and fine, soft sand! There are a handful of small stalls serving drinks and light bites.

You can reach there via a short hiking trail through the hills, or if you’d rather skip the climb, keep an eye out for local trucks – they sometimes offer rides up and down the steep hill for around 100–200THB. One tip is to skip the flip-flops for the walk down; closed-toe shoes will serve you much better on the trail.

2. Bang Tao Beach

Stretching along Phuket’s west coast, Bang Tao Beach unfolds as one of the island’s longest and most scenic shorelines. If you’re looking for a place to stay nearby, Cassia Phuket sits just behind it, tucked within the sprawling Laguna Phuket complex. The hotel itself isn’t directly on the sand, but a free shuttle boat glides guests from the hotel’s pier straight to the beach, so the ocean always feels within easy reach.

3. Tann Beach Club

Tann Beach Club is best known for its nightly fire shows, held twice daily at 7pm and 9pm. While reserved seating gets the best view, guests can also watch and take photos from outside the seating areas if they prefer not to pay for a table. Minimum spend varies depending on how close you are to the beach. 

Overall, it’s considered a pricier but scenic option on Karon Beach – worth it for sunset and the fire show. For more information and reservations, click here.

Things To Do

4. Cooking Class 

The Private Thai Cooking Class by The Front Village in Karon, Phuket is a hands-on culinary session to learn how to cook authentic Thai food in a traditional Thai setting, with skilled and friendly chefs who imparted the secrets of Thai cooking to us in a fun atmosphere. After cooking, meals are enjoyed in an air-conditioned dining area, often finished off with a complimentary fresh fruit platter prepared by the staff. Each participant also receives a recipe booklet and a certificate of completion to take home! 

We booked our lesson through Klook for S$69.29 per pax, with Afternoon Classes ranging from Set A to D to choose from. There are two afternoon sessions available, from 1pm to 2.30pm and 3pm to 4.30pm. Keen to experience this cooking class? Book here!

CC’s Hideaway is a boutique wellness hotel and yoga retreat located in the hills of Kata and Karon. We started our day with a 75-minute morning yoga class at 8am, a great mind and body reset before the day even really begins. The class is conducted by an English instructor, and is open to both genders.

All you have to do is turn up in your yoga clothes and a yoga mat, and equipment (blocks, etc) are provided for each session. You may choose to book and pay for the classes here to secure a spot. Do note that prior bookings are not required.

6. Snorkelling

Khai Nai Island is home to a beachside restaurant and plenty of deck chairs lining the main beach available for rentals, making it easy to relax between swims. We tried off-the-beach snorkelling right near the shore and were rewarded with sightings of colourful reef fish darting through the shallows. With calm waters, gentle waves, and clear visibility, it’s a relaxed, welcoming spot for snorkellers of all levels – just head in and explore.

8. Have a Bagel Day

Bagel lovers, we found a cosy, minimalist cafe in Cherngtalay, known for freshly baked, homemade bagels – dare we say the best in town. Beyond the plain bagels, you can also order Ready Bagel sandwiches like Bagel & Lox (265THB) and BLT (225THB) – great grab-and-go options to enjoy by the beach. Within the area, you can also check out Boat Avenue Phuket and Porto de Phuket.

Have a Bagel Day is a great spot for a relaxed breakfast or brunch if you’re craving something other than Thai food during your trip.

9. Kiri

Kiri Restaurant is a beachside dining concept with multiple branches across Phuket’s most popular coastlines including Kata, Karon, and Naithon Beach. The menu spans both comfort food from different cuisines (Japanese, Indian, and Western) and authentic Thai classics such as BBQ Pork Ribs (from 390THB), Roasted Duck in Red Curry (200THB), Kra Prao (180THB), and many more. The average price per person is around 600THB, and it’s fantastic for day-club lounging too.

Don’t get us wrong — these mooncake gift sets are elegantly packaged on the outside, but the highlight here has to be the actual mooncakes. The beautiful details on these innovative creations almost make them look like edible flowers.

While the box’s exterior is well-crafted with a dark red hue and golden gilded clasp, its inside is filled with real goodies too. In this set, there are four mooncakes, one teapot, and two teacups. All baked mooncakes from Fairmont Singapore this year are halal-certified.

Cat & the Fiddle’s Mao Shan Wang Durian Mooncake Set

What happens when a cheesecake specialist comes up with a mooncake set? The result, it seems, is something that captures the essence of the Mid-Autumn Festival in a fun way. Cat & the Fiddle has expanded their pastry craftsmanship this season to create the Mao Shan Wang Durian Mooncake Set (S$75.90).

The box that contains the mooncakes features a graphic of a cat hugging the moon, which is pretty witty if intentional, because ‘Mao’ in Mao Shan Wang is literally the same word for ‘cat’ in Mandarin. Inside, customers will find six pieces of Mao Shan Wang Durian Snowskin Mooncakes.

If you’d like to gift your mooncakes in modern, unique packaging that does not immediately reveal what’s inside, this might just be what you are looking for. Just make sure the recipient is a fan of durians.

At the time of writing, Cat & the Fiddle’s Mao Shan Wang Durian Mooncake Set is available at a 25% Early Bird discount. Visit their official website for more information.

1. Hamdeok Seoubong Beach

Hamdeok Beach is known for its white sandy beach and turquoise seas. It became one of the most popular beaches for tourists in Jeju, described as “Korea’s Maldives”. Along the beach, there’s an Instagram-worthy place – Cafe Delmoondo, selling a wide selection of pastries and beverages, a great spot for admiring the gorgeous ocean view. We also made our way to Seoubong Peak for a hike, located next to the end of Hamdeok Beach.

2. Seongsang Ilchulbong

Seongsang Ilchulbong is a UNESCO World Heritage and a designated natural reserve. The hike up to the summit takes about 30 minutes; an hour to complete the hike up and down. There’s an entrance fee of 5,000KRW per adult and 2,500KRW for youths and children to reach the summit. If the weather is clear, you can see the shape of Hallasan Mountain and Udo Island. Otherwise, you can opt for the coastal walking trail that is entirely free, offering low-intensity seaside views, which does not go up to the summit. 

Parking is free, but the lots tend to get crowded, so finding a space to park your car can be tricky. Operating hours may vary by season, so it’s worth checking ahead of your visit.

3. Bijarim Forest 

Thousands of centuries-old Japanese torreya trees call this forest home, some standing for 500 to 800 years – including the towering 810-year-old “New Millennium” tree. The loop trail is easy and accessible (stroller- and wheelchair-friendly), with a relaxed walk taking about 1 to 1.5 hours. Great for all ages and a perfect way to immerse yourself in nature. There’s an entrance fee of 3,000KRW and parking is free.

4. Aewol Cafe Street

Aewol Cafe Street in Handam Village is one of Jeju’s cafe-scene highlights. Thanks to the Handam-ro coastal walking path, many of the food spots are connected, so you can wander from one to the next with sea views the whole way. We went to Team Blow, an aesthetic cafe known for its sweeping ocean views, to quench our thirst, and it’s a great spot to unwind between sightseeing or simply enjoy a relaxed afternoon with a beautiful view.

5. Daepo Jusangjeolli Cliff

One of our favourite places was the Daepo Jusangjeolli Cliff, a striking rock formation made up of hexagonal basalt columns formed by cooling lava from Mount Halla thousands of years ago. We spent about 30 minutes snapping pictures at the observatory platform and admiring the panoramic views. Since there are a handful of popular photo spots on the platform, crowds and queues are common. There’s an entrance fee of 2,000KRW for adults and 1,000KRW for children and youths; parking is not free.

6. Cheonjeyeon Waterfalls

We visited the Cheonjeyeon Falls, which are actually three separate waterfalls, but do not be confused with Cheonjiyeon Falls in Seogwipo. Their names are similar but differ in ‘je’ and ‘ji’. We spent about 1.5–2 hours leisurely walking around and enjoying the scenic views. Apart from the three waterfalls, there’s a 130-meter-long bridge (Seonim Bridge) and Cheonjeru Pavilion within the area. 

There’s an entrance fee of 2,500KRW for adults and 1,350KRW for youths and children. Operating hours vary based on the season you’re visiting. Do note that there are several stairs, and it might not be wheelchair- or stroller-friendly.

7. O’sulloc Tea Museum & Innisfree Jeju House

An unmissable stop is the Osulloc Tea Museum and Innisfree Jeju House, located within the same compound. The Osulloc Tea Museum draws crowds even on weekdays, thanks to its souvenirs and cafe serving up matcha– and peanut-flavoured desserts. There’s a photobooth on the same level as the cafe too, great for visitors who want a memory to take home. Right behind the Innisfree store, the tea fields make for a popular photo spot – and the store itself is stocked with skincare products perfect for bringing home as gifts (or treating yourself).

8. Snoopy Garden

A must-visit spot in Jeju for any Peanuts comics fan, this theme park features indoor exhibition halls with artistic installations tracing the history of the comics and characters, alongside a sprawling outdoor garden with plenty of photo opportunities. We spent about 4 hours exploring the indoor and outdoor areas; good grief, you’ll never want to leave! 

Admission tickets can be purchased on arrival, either via the kiosk machines or at the counter, priced at 19,000KRW for adults (ages 20 and above), 16,000KRW for youths (ages 14–19), and 13,000KRW for children. Parking is free; no need to worry about extra costs!

9. Mount Hallasan

Mount Hallasan has seven hiking trails, with Seongpanak and Gwaneumsa being the main routes to the summit, and Eorimok and Yeongsil offering beginner-friendly, shorter trails, with no reservations needed. We went for the Seongpanak Trail, a 19.2km round-trip route, taking 7-8 hours to complete. This route is physically demanding due to the increasing steepness and rocky routes. For this trail, it’d require an advanced, mandatory online reservation here – Hallasan Visit Reservation System. Be sure to read up on all the different trails before deciding on which to go for!  

Save this post now so you don’t lose it before your next trip!

The post Jeju – 9 Places Worth Adding to Your Itinerary appeared first on Confirm Good.

Whether it’s your first time in Bangkok or not, we have compiled a list of places recommended by locals and frequent travellers, with a focus on lesser-known, unique spots.

theCOMMONS

We know how ironic it is that a list about less “common” places in Bangkok starts off with a location known as theCOMMONS. But trust us — this is a place you can potentially spend an entire day at. With a focus on “building a wholesome community”, theCOMMONS is a family-friendly destination with a large collection of lifestyle and food and beverage concepts. 

You will not just find a wide variety of all-day restaurants, but also wellness stops and community events. You can also shop for sustainable products and activewear. 

Imagine a day like this: you start off with breakfast at the egg-centric Crackhouse, then drop by All Kinds to look at healthy, planet-conscious snacks you can bring back home.

After your food has mostly digested, you head to Absolute for a Pilates class — stretching and strengthening your body. And of course, after the session, you take a nice shower in the boutique fitness studio’s facilities. 

After you’re done, you feel the familiar hunger pangs after a workout session. So, you decide to have lunch at Easy Buddy for Thai food with a twist. Soon, your belly is full, and you just want to have some time to give in to your food coma.

Your next destination is Clay Head Spa — where you treat yourself to a Nano Hair Therapy with a relaxing head massage. Before you know it, evening approaches and you look for your next hangout spot from the numerous bars in the same complex. 

If what we’ve described sounds like your perfect holiday, you know where to explore the next time you’re in Bangkok. For the full list of vendors and activities, including the WHOLESOME Run Club, visit theCOMMONS’ website.

Note that theCOMMONS can be found at three locations around Bangkok, so make sure to check which location you actually want to visit before you travel there.

24 BLVD

In the day, lovers of hearty, soulful food can drop by Amore, where fresh ingredients and classic flavours meet a casual atmosphere. From brunch staples like English Breakfast and Sandwiches to delicious mains like Pasta and Steak to desserts like Tiramisu, you will be spoilt for choice.

JIAN CHA Tea

This one might sound familiar to those of you who are tea enthusiasts. JIAN CHA Tea has two outlets in Singapore currently, but did you know it is actually a Thai tea brand? JIAN CHA Tea, known for its premium fresh fruit teas and tea smoothies, first started in Thailand in late 2023.

Since then, it has grown to more than 60 branches across Thailand and has also expanded to outlets in Australia, Singapore, and Spain. It is definitely possible to find a JIAN CHA Tea outlet as you’re exploring Bangkok, so make sure to give it a try if you see one!

For first-timers, we recommend trying the best-selling Grape Handmade Tea Smoothie. To check out other signature drinks from the brand, click here. For JIAN CHA Tea’s locations in Bangkok, look at their full list of branches here.

Lumphini Park

Want to get closer to nature and the outdoors? Visit Bangkok’s first public park — Lumphini Park. Located near the central business district of Bangkok, this park feels like an oasis where you can slow down, take in some fresh air, and appreciate the city skyline while taking a stroll.

At the same time, the park is home to numerous sights and activities. You can go for a morning run, exercise with some upbeat music in the background, or explore the library in the park. Just make sure to watch your steps as you might run into a monitor lizard or two!

One popular activity at Lumphini Park, however, would have to be renting a Swan Paddle Boat or rowing boat and having a short trip out on the lake. Definitely try this if you want a different park experience.

The Adoptable Puppy Cafe

If you’d like to do something a little more wholesome during your trip to Bangkok, consider attending one of the pop-up events by The Adoptable Puppy Cafe. This social enterprise and dog rescue initiative has helped more than 800 dogs find their forever homes since its start in 2019. 

Their events are usually held at cafes and venues around Bangkok, where you can spend a few hours enjoying some coffee or a meal, and meet adorable dogs at the same time. More than just playing with these pups, all of them will also be up for free adoption.

While only local adoptions are accepted, entry to these events is free, and donations are welcome. So, if you’d like to do something meaningful and support a cause during your trip, keep an eye out for The Adoptable Puppy Cafe’s events. They might just be hosting an event during your vacation to Bangkok.

The post Goodwood Park Hotel Celebrates SG61 with Nostalgic Flavours appeared first on Confirm Good.

Tucked away in a cosy corner of Taman Mount Austin and Pelangi, NomNom JB brings authentic Thai flavours to Johor Bahru, helmed by a native Thai chef who ensures every dish delivers bold, genuine flavour. The restaurant’s retro, vintage-inspired interior creates a relaxed, Instagram-worthy setting perfect for casual gatherings or a comforting meal with friends and family.

What to Order

Diners rave about the Clear Tom Yum Soup (MYR58) for its perfect balance of spicy and sour, featuring juicy prawns and squid. Prefer the soup milder or spicier? Just ask, and the staff are more than happy to adjust the spice level to match your tolerance. We also ordered the Crispy Thai Omelette (MYR28) as recommended by the staff, which wasn’t too greasy. To further elevate the crunchy Thai Omelette, we highly suggest dunking it into the Tom Yum Soup for a burst of flavour. One dish that stood out was the tender Stir-fried Beef (MYR88) with addictive yet crispy garlic.

What’s Thai food without the classics? Don’t forget to order the fragrant Pineapple Fried Rice (MYR48), a perfect balance of sweet and savoury, or the Classic Pad Thai (MYR32) packed with bold and tangy flavours. If you’re a seafood lover, a must-try is the Fried Sea Bass with Mixed Herbs and Lemongrass (MYR75), highly recommended for sharing among 3-4 pax and the Crispy Prawns in Tamarind Glaze (MYR48), so delectable that you’ll be reaching for another in seconds.

Two drinks worth trying are the Tom Yum Cooler (MYR12) if you’re feeling adventurous and the Classic Thai milk tea (MYR9) if you want something safer. Plus, it now comes with a dreamy cloud top for all the aesthetic girlies. 

Intrigued to indulge in this hearty yet classy meal? Make your reservations here for the Mount Austin outlet and here for the Pelangi outlet! Walk-ins are available, though it’s worth noting that peak hours can mean a bit of a wait.

Specials of the Month 

Among the four options, we let the server’s recommendation guide us to the deep-fried Soft Shell Crab, and it did not disappoint. Fried to a delicate crisp, the soft shell crab shatters with each bite, revealing tender, sweet crab meat within. A textural delight from start to finish, this was easily our favourite dish from Bottega JB. Being a monthly special, this changes from time to time. So do check the menu when you visit to see what’s currently available!

Cold Platter

Don’t sleep on their Cold Platter selections! Try the affordable Pork-Free Charcuterie (from MYR36) with Beef Salami and Cheeses, or go full cheese mode with the Cheese Board (from MYR36), featuring seven varieties and plenty of room for cheesy jokes. Both come with bread, olives, and dips. 

Salad, Soup & Starter

Wish to sneak some greens in to have a balanced diet? The Parmigiana (MYR35) is an oven-baked Eggplant with Mozzarella, Parmesan Cheese, and Italian Basil in Tomato Sauce. For something lighter to kick-start your appetite, the Botteghina (MYR36) would be a good choice with Hydroponic Leaves, Beetroot, Pumpkin, and White Quinoa all toasted in Truffle Dressing; this vegetarian-friendly starter is a good option! 

Pasta & Mains

From the Pasta and Main Course section, we ordered La Genovese (MYR40), a Candele Pasta with Stewed Beef and a healthy dose of Pecorino Romano Cheese. Another popular item was the Pork Cheek (MYR70), slow-cooked for 36 hours on a bed of creamy yet light Mashed Potato, seasoned to perfection.

We’ll definitely be back to try the fancy Beef Spinacino (MYR98), a delectable plate of Piedmontese Tri-tip Steak, a highly prized cut from the bottom of the sirloin, and the classic Her Carbonara (MYR42) made using Aged Pork Guanciale and Free-Range Egg Yolk.

Desserts

To end off the hearty meal with a bang, we shared the Homemade Tiramisu with Alcohol (MYR32). Another option is the Caprese (MYR30), made out of 70% Dark Chocolate and Dark Rum, paired with a side of Vanilla Ice Cream. If you prefer a non-alcoholic dessert, get the Homemade Tiramisu without Alcohol (MYR30) or the Pannacotta Alla Vaniglia (MYR29), a sweet Vanilla Pannacotta with Vanilla Crumble, drizzled with Forest Berry sauce.
