Due to its expansive size and absence of tourist infrastructure, Isaan (Northeastern Thailand) is still a relatively untouched region in Thailand, but this no doubt works to its advantage for adventurous travellers. And not only is Buriram one of the more exciting provinces of Isaan Thailand, but it is increasingly easier to access every day, […]

The quickest and most convenient route from Penang to Hat Yai would be the minivans/buses crossing the borders from Malaysia to Thailand at Dannok (Sadao). These minivans/buses leave relatively regularly from the terminals at Penang Komtar in Georgetown, a tower/building which can be seen from pretty much anywhere in Georgetown’s tourist zone (minivans normally leave at 08:30,

This Chiang Mai temple tour shares nine temples in total, where nine is an auspicious number in Thailand, but also links in to the remembrance of King Bhumibol (Rama 9) who had passed in the previous month to this tour.

Chiang Khan for me is the perfect weekend destination in Isaan, found in the rather scenic Loei Province, which is relatively untouched by western influences and mass tourism. As it is a fair stretch from most major tourist destinations (e.g. 8-9 hours from Bangkok or Chiang Mai). But Chiang Khan’s remote location works to its advantage,

To date we have now covered all 9 provinces of Northern Thailand on road trips, starting out from different points at times, and driving in different vehicles. But to date I can say that Chiang Mai is easily the best starting point, in a car with at least a 1.4-litre engine (it’s hilly in the

Due to it’smassive size, lack of tourist infrastructure, and hard-to-find English speakers, Isaan Thailand (Northeast Thailand) is a relatively tricky region to explore. But this of course works to its advantage, at least for the more adventurous explorers, as the tourist attractions in Isaan Thailand are somewhat untouched by mass tourism. Its anonymity works to

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,

For years I was in continuous indecision in buying drones in Thailand, flagging price alerts, but never finding anything practical for our travels.
