By now we have covered this Singapore to Thailand route a whole bunch of times, following various inland and coastal routes, on trains, planes and automobiles. But my favourite will forever be the rail routes, where recently (2022) we travelled the entire way from Singapore to Bangkok by train (in the video below). A journey …

I would never expect people to travel from Bangkok to Korat for their malls specifically, but I personally spend near half the year in the further flung rice fields of Isaan, so our visits to Korat (aka Nakhon Ratchasima) are more for long-lost comforts in the best malls in Korat city centre. “They have air-con …
On our recent episode (2022) of “I’m bored, let’s go live somewhere else?” we ended up in Hua Hin for a month which coincided with my inevitable Thai tourist visa extension. This meant tracking down the local immigration office in Hua Hin which is in a very handy location at Bluport Mall. To date, this …

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 …
Chiang Mai has never really appealed to me in the past and, given the choice, I would probably opt for a similar lifestyle in other ”cultural” Asian cities, like the valleys of Ubud, Bali, maybe. But, at the same time, Chiang Mai is a very easy destination to access. And, while I have avoided the …
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, …
