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 […]

For travel from Bangkok to Koh Kret island there are a number of options available, some better than others. The obvious option would be by direct taxi to the Koh Kret pier which should cost around 200 Baht each way from the central Bangkok areas, but this will depend on traffic, and whether at taxi

Recently we made the seemingly backward decision to move from our happy home in Bangkok, surrounded by big city conveniences and amazing street food, to live a new life in rural Thailand. We gave up our simple life in Bangkok’s CBD, to find an even simpler life in the rural regions of Northeast Thailand (Isaan).

A plan which was quickly scuppered with impromptu travels to Kuala Lumpur for VISA renewal, and taxi fares for Fanfan’s university exams. In total we manage a week, but we are still proud. What first prompted this

Benjasiri park (aka Queen’s Park) is the local park for most Sukhumvit-ites, but despite this slightly bias fact, I honesty feel it is the best park in Bangkok.

This time last year I wrote a similar post on the Bangkok Vegetarian Festival… in not so great words. To sum up I figured that “if Scrooge and the Grinch collaborated on a festival it would be the Bangkok Vegetarian Festival. Scrooge with the vegetarian theme and The Grinch backing it with 10 long long days”.

Something not yet mentioned on this blog is that I don’t only eat lots of food, but I also cook it… or at least I used to. There was even a time when I hoarded cash to open a Thai restaurant in the UK but I instead spent it buying my condo in Bangkok. While I

This epiphanic moment follows a grumbly stomach and a yearning for fluffy pork and chilli stuffed crepes. It also starts on a seemingly ordinary day, sat at my condo peering over local life and the surrounding Thai street food stalls, a day not so different to any other. Soon arrives the smiley crepe lady to
