While our railway system is still limited and expansion plans are still developing, using the expressway is still the best choice for faster travel by land between Metro Manila and the provinces. Unlike highways, expressways have controlled entrances and exits, and in the case of the Philippines, are marked by toll gates.

Starting 1 December 2020, all expressways / tollways are bought by the department of transportation to transition to a cashless payment system by means of RFID. This indicates that owners and operators need to safe RFID accounts for their vehicles, public or private. This will minimize the transmission of viruses and other contagious diseases that can be spread through human contact.

What is RFID?

Before we share with you how to reload your RFID account, here’s a quick info about what it is.

There are two types of RFID in Luzon — the Autosweep and the EasyTrip.

Autosweep works for expressways and tollways managed by the San Miguel corporation (SMC) — Skyway, SLEX, NAIAX, star Tollway, MCX, and TPLEX.

EasyTrip can be used for expressways managed by Metro Pacific Tollways corporation (MPTC) — CAVITEX, CALAX, C5 Link, NLEX, and SCTEX.

When you register to your chosen installation site, the RFID sticker identify will be installed on either the left portion of your windshield or the left headlamp.

You will also get your RFID account card. In case the RFID reader failed to detect your sticker tag, you can just hand over your RFID card to the toll attendant. always keep the physical card with you.

How to reload RFID account using PayMaya?

This post focuses on PayMaya transactions. Here’s the step-by-step process of reloading using PayMaya.

Log in to your PayMaya account.

Click the travel icon.

Choose the icon for TOLL PASS.

Choose the RFID you wish to reload — Autosweep RFID or EasyTrip.

Fill out the required details: RFID account number and the amount you wish to load. then Click Continue.

You will be directed to the confirmation page. check the details you provided.

Click confirm. You’re all done!

Note: minimum amount for reloading is P500. Make sure that your PayMaya account has enough balance before proceeding.

Where else can I reload my RFID account?

Reloading your RFID is easy because there are lots of options. just choose the one that suits your preference.

Other ideas and Reminders

If you have insufficient balance, the barrier will not activate and might cause inconvenience not just to you but also to those behind you. This might even cause getting issued a traffic citation/violation ticket for obstruction with at least P1,000 fine.

For the cashless transaction adjustment period between December 1 and January 11 (or until additionally notice), no penalty fee and ticket will be issued for the insufficient balance. but then again, it’s still highly encouraged to reload before you go below your maintaining balance.

It’s best to check your balance hours or days before your trip so you can reload immediately when needed and save yourself from the hassle of technological glitches. remember that mobile apps and online transactions may fail us sometimes.

Based on personal experience, even if you reload through an e-wallet (GCash/PayMaya) or online payment, the transaction won’t reflect real-time or the RFID scanner will fail to read/detect it.

If for some reason you failed or forgot to reload before leaving home, the staff manning the toll gate will ask for your RFID card. The amount that you lacked for that transaction will be deducted from the amount of your next reload.

Strawberries may be heart-shaped but these sweet little things are heartless. I walked cautiously in between the rows of strawberries, all the while being reminded of tragic love stories. They are sinful temptations dangling or lying on the ground, taunting you to pick them but at a certain cost. They urge you to come touch and pluck them from their frail branches even when you already have a basketful and you know it is all you can afford. and they deceive you by pretending to be berries — heck, they’re not even real fruits — and you purchase anything they want to make you believe because, well, they are pretty.

Nevertheless, an affair with strawberries can be highly rewarding.

Simply, the place is called Strawberry Farm. Cradled in a plain in La Trinidad Valley in Benguet, it is located nearly 30 minutes away from Baguio City, which has become practically synonymous with strawberries.

We were cautioned by a local blogger that picking strawberries would be a dirty company at the time. It rained heavily the night before and the gaps between plots would have to be soaked and muddy. We considered his recommendation for a split second, but we still ended up spitting “Ah, f*ck it! We’re going!” We had been looking forward to it because our first step on the Baguio soil that weekend. I had been to this place a number of times before, but it has always thrilled me regardless of the circumstances.

Why go all the trouble of traveling along a non-scenic route to this farm and braving the mud when strawberries are sold at numerous spots in the city proper? The experience of having to pick the strawberries yourselves, of course. You get a small basket, traipse in between plots, and spot ripe fruits along the way. You hold a fruit in your hand and you look at it as if you created it. They just taste better if you put an effort harvesting them.

Like all good things in the world, however, there’s a catch. prices are double at P350 per kilo. Inexperienced pickers can cause a lot of wastage. Besides, numerous of them succumb to having a taste of these fruits even before they baskets get weighed. just look at it this way: the additional fee is for the “experience” itself and not the actual products. After all, it’s not every day that we see strawberry plants — at least not in Manila — so experiences like this are much more of refreshing opportunities than a hassle. It’s a ideal activity for kids!

A visit here isn’t complete without strawberry-picking! That’s what you come here for.
A farmer cultivating strawberry plants
Heart-shaped madness
Aside from strawberries, the other plots in the area are covered in vegetables — cabbage, lettuce and much more — and a few in flowers, which are both abundant in Benguet. If we had the time, we would visit an actual flower farm farther in La Trinidad but we just didn’t have any more. Tragisk!

Lettuce entertain you!
A few rows of flowers amidst plots of strawberries
Jordgubbsglass! better than those we typically have here in the city!
Sundot-kulangot! A type of kalamay, which is a delicacy in Baguio and neighboring towns. strange name, huh?
A lane of souvenir stores border one side of the farm. You’ll find anything strawberry here — strawberry wine, strawberry jam, strawberry crinkles. Roaming around the area are vendors of strawberry taho and strawberry ice cream. All that is missing is a boomblaster playing Strawberry fields forever and you’ll reach the limit of strawberry encounters you are allowed in a lifetime. and oh, there are also Baguio brooms and sweaters sold at many of the stores. Don’t worry, they’re not strawberry-flavored.

How to get to Strawberry Farm: From Baguio City, the fast and easy way is a cab. but that’s wise only if you are a group of at least 3 because you will be splitting the cost. If budget is a problem, make your way to Baguio City Hall and ride a jeepney bound for La Trinidad. Ask the chauffeur to drop you off at Strawberry Farm. Fare is P12.

Tidigare komponerade jag om min utforskning av såväl som för den underskattade Thailand -regionen i Isaan.

De flesta resenärer undviker bara över denna region på sin metod till Laos. Området är främst jordbruksmark såväl som bitstäderna saknar någon typ av äkta “attraktioner” – så att resenärer bara passerar med eller åker någon annanstans i Thailand.

Men denna region är ett bevis på att även i ett land som är så turistiskt som Thailand finns det fortfarande ett off-the-beaten-väg att se.

Personligen gillade jag Isaan. Jag tror att det är en äkta synd som många förbiser för att gå till det.

Om du vill titta på hur det dagliga livet i Thailand är borta från folkmassorna är Isaan platsen att åka. Jag gillade att komma bort från allt såväl som känslan av att verkligen “utforska” Thailand. Landet känns lika enkelt såväl som västerländskt när du är på de primära resenärens rutter, men i Isaan kände jag mig som om jag kikade in på någon trickplats som ingen annan förstod om.

I det här inlägget kommer jag att dela min rutt, budget och förslag som hjälper dig att få ut det mesta av din tid här.

Mina föreslagna rutter för Isaan

Först, vilken väg borde du ta runt regionen? Det här är den väg jag följde:

Bangkok – Korat – Nong Kong – Surin – Ubon Ratchathani – Laos – Nong Khai, Khon Kaen – Bangkok

Jag gick med Laos sedan jag ville se de välkända 4 000 öarna och resa tillbaka upp genom Vientiane. Detta producerade en enkel slinga, liksom jag inte behövde fördubbla tillbaka.

Med den här resplanen utforskade jag kanterna på Isaan men gick inte “djupt” in i regionen.

Om du verkligen ville gå in på en intensiv Isaan -resa medan jag fortfarande undviker fördubbling, skulle jag resa på detta sätt:

Bangkok – Korat – Nong Kong – Surin – Sisaket – Ubon Ratchathani – Yasothon & Roi et – Sakon Nakhon – Nong Khai – Udon Thani – Khon Kaen – Bangkok

Med den här rutten dyker du djupt in i regionen genom att klippa över mitten av Isaan, vilket låter dig se en hel del nationalparker som Phu Phan eller Phu Pha Yon, The Monkey Temple (Ku Phra Ko na) utanför Roi et, små Landsbygdsstäder samt underbara floder. Du kan vara den enda utlänningen såväl som glädje i några av Thailands många destinationer utanför slagen.

Om du inte vill göra slingan skulle någon typ av ett av dessa ben vara fantastiska på egen hand. Du måste dock fördubbla tillbaka för att komma till Bangkok om du inte går vidare till Laos.

Om du organiserade för att följa hela resplanen, skulle du kräva minst en månad, men 6–8 veckor är en mycket mycket mer förnuftig hastighet såväl som en som inte får dig att packa dina väskor var tredje dag. Jag korsade min kortare väg på 2,5 veckor (räknar inte Laos).

6 förslag till Isaan reser

Isaan har inte stor resenärsinfrastruktur, det är svårt att komma ut från de enorma städerna till de mindre attraktionerna, liksom engelska är inte så vanligt talat, men dessa “utmaningar” gör det verkligen mycket mer spännande. här är sex saker du borde förstå innan du reser Isaan:

1. Du kräver inte att du förbokar-eftersom regionen inte ser många turister, bara att visa så mycket som pensionat och busshållplatser är bra. Jag bokade inte någonting på min resa och har aldrig haft någon typ av problem. Du bekämpar inte för rymden.

2. Försök att ha din egen transport – Isaan är en av de delar av världen (som Irland, södra Frankrike eller Island) som är finaste utforskat med din egen transport.

För att verkligen komma ut och se vad området har att erbjuda, hyra din egen cykel eller fordon och köra runt. Mina käraste minnen gick av de primära vägarna på baksidan av min taxichaufför och ville ha min egen åktur.

3. Chauffeurs kan anställas såväl som kostnader delade – eftersom jag inte hade min egen transport var jag tvungen att anställa chauffeurs mycket. Det är dyrt, men det var den enda metoden att komma till nationalparkerna såväl som ruiner som jag ville se så många av parkerna och ruinerna är långt utanför städerna. Men chauffeurs alla avgiftsset priser, så att du kan dela tuk-tuk- eller fordonsuthyrningskostnader med nya vänner!

4. Det finns en hel del expater som kan hjälpa till genom Couchsurfing – Isaan är full av engelska instruktörer såväl som äldre expat, så om du vill bryta in i den regionala scenen kan du upptäcka mycket håll på soffor, dessutom till människor som kommer att visa dig runt.

5. Nationalparker är långt ifrån städer, liksom dagsturer är svåra att organisera – se punkter nr 2 samt nr 3 för detta.

6. Engelska talas inte ofta – eftersom det finns färre turister kommer det att bli en större språkbarriär. Du kommer att kunna komma runt men förvänta dig att använda mycket mer handgester, pekar och språkordböcker!

Hur mycket kostar Isaan?

Jämfört med andra delar av Thailand är Isaan mycket billig som vill as rather a bargain, particularly when compared to the other parts of the country.

I averaged around 900 THB ($25 USD) a day. That included only personal rooms, hiring motorbikes to take me around (see points above), as well as drinking a few as well numerous beers with my buddies who online in the region.

Here are some typical prices:

Dorm bed: 100 THB

Private space with bathroom: 300 THB

Bike hire for the day:  300 THB

Short distance train rides: 50 THB

Phimai historical Park: 100 THB

National Park fees: 50-200 THB

Car hire for the day: 1,200 THB

Som tam as well as rice: 40 THB

Soup from a street vendor: 35 THB

A everyday budget plan of $15–25 USD would be plenty for Isaan if you were to stay with dorms spaces (or the occasional inexpensive personal room), street food, as well as buses (or had your own transportation).

If you were hiring drivers, desired much more Western meals, a few much more beers, or only personal spaces with A/C, I would budget plan $25–35 USD per day. For anything higher than that, you’re just costs as well much money for no reason!

***
I desire I had spent much more time in Isaan. I liked it as well as I strongly, strongly motivate you to go there to see what Thailand is like away from the huge traveler market as well as the “banana pancake” path full of backpackers. It’s the most affordable area of Thailand and, to utilize a cliché, the most “authentic.”

Visit it.

stone foxes stand guard at essential points throughout the busy shrine as tourists come flooding in. These statues, although inanimate, appear as though they have been viewing over the site. but much more than sentinels, they are messengers, if Shintoism is to be believed. Foxes are typically associated with Inari, a kami (spirit), who is the patron of rice, agriculture, fertility, commerce, and general prosperity. many visitors, however, are not here for the foxes. The crowd practically always goes straight to thousands of vermilion torii gates that create an fancy trail around the shrine.

Orange isn’t really my color, but there was a sudden explosion of delight inside me as soon as I found the first orange torii best after a row of souvenir shops. From here, my eyes wandered and searched for the thousand others, but they found the main gate, also shining in orange, towering across another huge torii. My eyes were relentless. If they had feet, they could have reached the sand dunes in Dubai or tennis resorts Mexico. Hold your tater, I whispered to myself. You’ll see them soon enough. A group of tourists gathering around a fountain stole their attention temporarily.

Fushimi Inari Shrine (伏見稲荷大社 or Fushimi Inari Taisha) is the most well-known and many essential Shinto site that is dedicated to Inari in the city of Kyoto, Japan. While the thousand torii gates are the most picturesque parts of the site, they are but trails that connect the shrines and other places of worship. The shrine was built in 711 by one Hata-no-Irogu. According to legend, he was a powerful man, who one day shot an arrow at rice-cake target. To his surprise, the rice cake transformed into a swan and perched on a top of the mountain. Rice began growing at the site, sustaining the community. A shrine was erected as a tribute to the god of rice, Inari. In 816, it was moved to its current location, at the base of the Inariyama hill.

The main tower and the main shrine, built in 1499, are the first to welcome visitors. Behind them are smaller torii gates. known in the vernacular as Senbon Torii (literally “thousands of torii gates), they stand very close to one another, forming what two parallel lanes that result in an inner shrine. Each gate was donated by an organization or individual, whose names you will find inscribed at the back. how numerous people flock here at any given day? Jag har ingen aning. What I know is, it is incredibly challenging to have a picture taken at any point under the arches without having anybody else in the frame. just when I thought the coast was clear and safe for a human-free picture, someone appeared from the other end of the orange tunnel and bombed the photo unintentionally. Or maybe it was just a bad time.

But the domino-like arches aren’t the only things that captivate. The shrine buildings themselves are worth a thousand stares. even the Romon gate at the entrance is arresting, especially after learning that it was given by preeminent daimyo Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1589. Those who have the time and energy are totally free to go farther into the mountain and explore. After a 40-minute trek, the Yotsutsuji Intersection treats visitors to a good view of the city. double the time and the summit greets visitors, although many of them turn around before reaching it as the sights become repetitive and the number of gates dwindle.

Hello there, foxes.
After hours of walking around, I was back under the first torii I spotted. It had been an orange afternoon, a very orange afternoon. and I wasn’t complaining. Inte alls. Not when you’re surrounded by a glowing greatness that comes from somewhere far deeper than its color.

How to get to Fushimi Inari Shrine: From Kyoto Station, take the JR Nara Line and alight at JR Inari Station. It is also available from Fushimi-Inari station of the Keihan main Line. The shrine is just a short, easy walk from either.
