Promote your brand to tens of thousands of travellers every month.

We are one of the most popular independent travel blogs in Thailand and Southeast Asia with various global accolades and awards including Wanderlust Travel Blog of the Year in 2013. 

Live Less Ordinary

Live Less Ordinary is a lifestyle and travel resource for savvy and independent expats and travellers mostly based in, or planning to live in Asia. We share destination guides for affordable luxury travel in Asia and inspire others to travel more often, in comfort, for cheaper. Many of our travels guides go off-the-tourist-path to lesser visited destinations and share them through honest content, without sugar-coating, but mostly focusing on the positives that discerning travellers can take from them. Otherwise, we avoid the mass tourist markets in favour of boutique and niche interests.

Please note: We do receive many requests each day and while we do read all of them, we may not have the time to respond to all of them. If you don’t receive a response then assume we are unable to work with you at this time.

Work With Us?

We like to promote new experiences in both Bangkok and Asia. When we travel we travel independently and share our experiences with our audience. Following Fanfan’s passion for interior design, we often stay at boutique and design hotels but are happy to write about any hotel experience which is unique and authentic (example here). When we travel we follow our passions in street food and food tourism.
