My friend and I had seen pictures of Loei and loved the look of this mountainous, not-so-touristy, northern Thai province. We impulsively booked flights while on a train elsewhere and up until the day before, didn’t do much research other than looking at photos on Instagram. Filled with confidence after my friend read a blog … More Phu Kradueng – Loei
I’m not 100% sure why, but I just love Kanchanaburi. I haven’t done most of the stuff that you’re supposed to go to Kanchanaburi for but it’s become my favourite place to go and chill when I want to get away from big city life. Some people would always choose a beach for this, and … More Kanchanaburi
Did you know that there is a Buddhist Hell? I’m betting most people would say no. I had no idea before coming to Thailand. Thailand has a ridiculous number of temples.

I love graffiti. Good graffiti, not the crap stuff where someone tags their name on a bus stop. Good street art is expressive, creative, bold, makes statements and makes people think. It’s skilful. I also love a man called Richard Barrow. Richard Barrow is a British guy who has lived in Thailand for many, many … More Bangkok graffiti (…and my love for Richard Barrow)

It’s the second longest handmade wooden bridge in the world. (Where’s the longest? No idea.) It looks like it’s made from jumbled … More Sangkhlaburi

You probably don’t think of green, natural spaces. But you’d be surprised! Bangkok actually has many beautiful parks and leafy suburbs. Travel a little bit further from … More Ko Kret
I don’t remember when I first heard about Khao Sok. Maybe I saw a photo on instagram or read a blog post about it, but for the last year I had been fixated on the idea of visiting. I finally had the opportunity to go a couple of weeks ago with some friends. It was … More Magical Khao Sok
I have a confession. A few months after moving to Bangkok I fell completely, deeply in love. The objects of my affection? Khao soi. Khao soi is a curry soup-like dish with egg noodles and chicken. It’s topped with deep fried, crispy noodles, as well as pickled greens, shallots and lime which you add to … More My number one food love…khao soi
