I have taken on this journey, from Bangkok to Malaysia, four times now over the past few years. The first time was over 5 years ago, and the route hasn’t changed much since then, or at least until recently. In mid-2015 the Malaysia KMT railways upgraded to electrical lines, meaning the connection at the border …
To date, through 4 separate road trips in Northern Thailand, we have now covered all 9 provinces, and have put together a simple road trip itinerary that loops through them all (nine province road trip here). So we have covered a fair bit of the north ourselves, but at the same time, it’s unrealistic to …
This is a bit of a follow-up to our previous post sharing the Best Islands of Thailand, only this article delves instead into Thailand’s best beaches, through a collaboration of fellow Thai-friendly travel bloggers. The list brings together a mix of the lesser-known beaches of popular tourist destinations, as well as some of the better …
The first thing I do on moving to any new city or destination is to scope out the local area for all my favourite foods. And it is no different this time with our recent move to the Nimman area of Chiang Mai. So over the space of a month we ate out at least …
My travel blog has been a mess for a while now, where I more or less neglected it to the point where it was vulnerable, and I was not far from losing it entirely. So last week I forced myself into an unlikely overhaul after a number of worrying revelations on just how grim the situation …

Having lived in Bangkok 3 years and travelled back and forth for 10 I thought its time to add my own take on top Bangkok attractions. While it’s been long since I did touristy stuff I do still host the occasional visitor and to keep them entertained I use often follow the same set itinerary …
Phanom Rung is undoubtedly Thailand’s most impressive Khmer temples, and while not quite on par with the magnificence of Angkor Wat, it no doubt holds its own against many of Cambodia’s lesser-known temples. And it is infinitely less touristy. It is also unique to Thailand, being the only Khmer temple built on an extinct volcano, …
The one thing to not ask Bangkok taxis is “how much is it to….” you will likely be ripped off. In Bangkok all taxis are metered and the only words necessary is the destination, no more. Ask questions, look clueless and you become an obvious target. While most Bangkok taxis are honest it is the …
This is an earlier experience of life in rural Thailand, which shares the initial setting for a book we wrote called a Potato in a Rice Field: A Year Living in Rural when we went back to basics to live a rustic simple life in Thailand’s rural rice fields. As Fanfan was born in rural Thailand …
