I have little interest in Thai politics but I often find them forced onto me. I live in Bangkok city centre where protests have become a regular backdrop and in truth I don’t really mind them. They don’t really hinder my lifestyle and even if they did, who am I to grumble; the protesters’ cause […]

As you may have guessed at Hajime Robot Restaurant in Bangkok the food is served by robot waiters. Every man’s dream since Rocky 4? But despite the unique and novelty value of this robot restaurant we do keep going back. Obviously not for the robot (as cute as it is) but for the food. Hajime Robot

To own a house in central Bangkok is not only crazy expensive but also unattainable as foreigners who cannot legally own land in Thailand. While there are loopholes in legislation these loopholes always bring unnecessary risk. Owning Bangkok Condominiums is by far the smarter option.

Chao Phraya River is the water of choice for visitors celebrating Loy Krathong in Bangkok. For me, I avoid it. The popular riverside areas are a pain to reach with heavy traffic, pushy crowds and in many cases you won’t even reach the river to float your own Krathong. Last visit we had someone do
