#THAILAND | KOH PHANGAN & THAT MENTAL FULL MOON PARTY
#THAILAND | KOH SAMUI AND A PARADISE WEDDING
THAILAND, YOU ROCK.
Hello little pies! As you probably noticed, the fun is over and we're back to annoyingly-cold London - but not without a smile on our faces. Two whole weeks in Thailand were just the perfect amount of time to completely relax and forget I have a house, a job and actually, a blog. Well, I think one would understand that it's not a real life trade-off when you're presented with the choices of 'spend your day on the beach with no WiFi' and 'stick around your hotel and blog a bit'. Besides, a lot of you are probably already bored of my never ending instagram pictures of sunshine & bikinis in the last few weeks anyway... I must warn you they are here to stay and they are going to continue to illuminate my days until I have no more to look at - apologies in advance to the more sensitive ones.
Introductions aside, thought I'd leave you with some of my favourite photos of the overall trip in a little Flipagram video. Then I'll do a couple of photo-heavy posts on each island just so you get really realllly jealous - as you should.
Enjoy!
M ❤️

NYC Guide: Day 5 & One Hell Of A Game
After a (fairly) chilled hangover day, we had a long one ahead. Not that my feet didn't hurt with all that walking, but we went strong and kept going. Headed to the Brooklyn Bridge for a morning of sunshine!
NYC Guide: Day 4 & One Big Hangover
NYC Guide: Day 2 & A Lot Of Shopping
Ok, we had a rainy Day 1 a lot of talking. Now, less talking and more shopping please.
NYC Guide: Day 1 & A Bit Of Rain.
So we were in New York. After too many travel hours, one Sex and the City and one Harry Potter films later, we were there. Oh My God. Did I say this was my dream trip since I was like 10? Oh yeah, I must have. Headed to our hotel to drop the massive suitcases (half empty, clever girls) - just the perfect excuse to get in a yellow cab. Eek! Unfortunately for us, we probably got the dirtiest, oldest and weirdest yellow cab that must exist in the whole NYC. Like with old food everywhere and a bunch of cables instead of a radio, weird. Either way, happy as ever!
NYC Guide: Intro
Hi friends! You must have seen this coming but: I freaking LOVED New York. I was one of those idiots that used to say "NYC is my dream city to live in", "Oh, but have you been before?", "No, but I just know it.". Take that, pals! I knew I was born to live there. Maybe when the frogs start singing, the trees start walking and the Beef has a nervous breakdown and changes his mind we can move there for a bit. That said, of course I am going to post ALL about it - it will be The Portuguese Pink Pie's NYC Guide. Or just a bunch of nice photos for you to get inspired and book your flights.
To give you a bit of a taste, here's a quick slideshow with some of our best moments - C & M, just like Serena & Blair, taking over the entire city ❤️

Techno Berlin day’n’night
Hellooo! You all good? I am, trying to find
time to write a bit on my lovely pink platform! Christmas’ madness is coming
and with that, all the dinners and parties and crazy English celebrations that
seem endless. I love it obvs. Still haven’t changed my ringtone to All I want for Christmas is you though…
That said, here are some snaps of my
short-but-crazy Berlin experience. I was dyiiiing to go as everyone said it was
this AMAZING thing. Well, as some of you already heard, I didn’t find it that super
awesome bucket list type of thing. To be noted:
- I was
only there for a weekend, meaning I had one full day to visit the main
attractions;
- It was a
girls weekend, just 2 of us, not big fans of techno clubs;
- We were based
on the East side as it’s meant to be the good and fun one but then again they
say that about East London and that’s just not true;
- It was 1
degree for most of the time… Nothing to add to that.
Now, my comments:
- The
whole city was under building work. Maybe they have a specific time of the year
when they start all the ‘refurbishing’ – is it for Christmas?!... Otherwise it’s
just weird, complemented by random pipes in the middle of the roads that were
only cool because they were pink;
- No one
seems to know anything about the city. “Where
can we find some places to shop?”, Hmm there’s nothing just a shopping
centre; “Where can we go get a drink
before going out in East?”, Hmm we don’t have bars, or coffees, or pubs –
you just go mental with pills and alcohol to the prisons clubs, I
presume?!;
- The Berlin
Wall is tiny, thinner than a Victoria Secret model and probably not taller than
the tallest guy on Guiness;
- The centre
of East, Alexanderplatz (where we
were staying) is like Colombo in the middle of 2a Circular. For the English
people, it’s like 2 huge shopping centres in the middle of a motorway –
gigantic buildings, with super large roads with like 5 lanes each way! Ines and
I got there at 1am Friday and it was so deserted we thought we were in the
furthest place possible from the centre.
- Lastly, as
my friend Lightly said, it’s a city built on techno. Which sucks for someone
that hates techno music. And techno people and clothes. But I guess I should
have known that.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Don’t go Tresor if you don’t like techno and prison cells in general. Something
I would like to have known beforehand.
Other than the above, we did have a good time. Loads
of gossip, ate really well – the restaurants are amazing as they have all sorts
of food in each place: Italian, tapas, sandwiches, fish, meat, all of it! And,
more importantly, cocktails! Yoohoo! Met some cool people in an awesome shop I
still need to advertise on the blog, lots of randoms on the tube (standard
tourist!), more randoms outside the craziest club ever… All the perks of a girls
city break really.
Enough with the talking, enjoy some photos! x
Berlin – I will come back, for a longer and
maybe a bit more researched experience. If anyone is living in Berlin please
let me know – I’m getting lazy and only visiting cities where I have wise friends
to tell me where to go!
