When living in Bangkok I was familiar with most Thai fruits from local markets, but now, living in a farming community in the northeast of Thailand, I am surrounded by a never-ending cycle of sowing, growing, reaping and eating of whatever and everything that is in season. We have mango tree forests here and for weeks I […]

People often talk about Bangkok as if it’s “another world” and “a once in a lifetime destination”. But, in theory, you could leave work at 17:00PM Friday evening in the UK, and spend the weekend, and still be in work by 09:00AM Monday. At the same time, I’m in no way saying it’s a good

Having seen a lot of articles recently about the ‘Best Som Tam Papaya Salad’, I thought I’d give my own take on the trend.

For the first half of this month we travelled almost 10,000 km overland through Japan. The latter we spent in the most basic regions of rural Thailand. I think, if ever we deserved a break, it was now. Following a quick stopover in Bangkok we arrive to Phuket just in time for the midday heat

The rooftop dining experience in Bangkok is a must-do for any visitor to the city, topping the list alongside the much cliched floating markets or old city temple tours. Even if it’s only a quick drink at the rooftop bar, it is still an experience not to be missed. However, choosing where to do this

We start at the Southernmost Point of Continental Asia (Sentosa, Singapore) and travel 2,000km North via five

It wasn’t until recently when I realised just how much Air Asia has influenced my life in the past three years. This odd realization came while chatting to a stranger about my wedding which I celebrated last year in Ubud, Bali “Oooh that sounds so romantic, how did you decide to marry in Bali?”, “Air
