Only on rare occasions do we find ourselves eating Vietnamese food in Bangkok, but when we do it will always be at Le Dalat Vietnamese Restaurant. It has yet to disappoint. On this visit we call in with my sister who I recommended Le Dalat to over 5 years ago. Now with a return visit […]

For us Maya Indian Restaurant makes a hard-to-beat dining experience in Bangkok, and this covers all genres. While this opinion maybe swayed slightly by our love for rooftop bars and our at-the-time enhanced happiness having polished off a bottle of wine before arrival… we will stand by it. No doubt Maya has a lot going for

Isaan Tours is currently closed. After nearly two years of blogging at ‘Live Less Ordinary’ we have decided to push forward into new areas of tourism and to follow other passions and interests. We will be doing this through private group tours in rural Thailand (IsaanTours.com) exploring the simple life of Thailand’s Isaan region where

With no travel plans in the immediate future I decide to travel to Bangkok, staying at a hostel in Asoke, two blocks from where I live now. This was more for research than anything, helping local tourism during troubled times while curious of how the coup and curfew has affected tourists and the tourism industry. Being

Back in 2004 I actually lived in this area held up in a run-down apartment block on Sukhumvit 36. My accommodation at the time was so depressing we nicknamed it “The Jail” and each night I’d return to my studio room with the theme song of ‘Prisoner Cell Block H’ in my head. But what

Of Bangkok restaurants Wine Connection is by far our most visited and in many ways it has ruined dining out for us in Bangkok where we leave most restaurants comparing… “that would have been half the price at Wine Connection” And of course this is why we love them. Wine Connection has everything we could

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
