Kanchanaburi. Even if you’ve not heard of the town, I’ll hazard a guess that you’ve heard of the bridge which is the town’s main attraction. Which is the one over the River Kwai. Yep, that one. Even though the original bridge, as built by both allied prisoners of war and conscripted locals, isn’t standing any […]

Best Things To Do In Stockholm
Today I’m delighted to be hosting a post by Sofia von Porat of travel blog AsWeTravel. The post is particularly timely given our upcoming European focused adventure, where we’re going to be spending a few days in Stockholm. Now, thanks to this post, we’ve got more of an idea of how to fill our time! […]
Travel Pinspiration: Western Australia
It’s been a while since I’ve taken part in a travel Pinspiration. I’m going to blame spending three months of travelling around Thailand, and hope you forgive me. This weeks theme though was a real doozy, and to top it off, the bloggers behind this whole idea, Caz and Craig, used one of my shots […]
Laytrang Resort – a Thai diet on the Andaman Coast
There’s one serious problem in Thailand: the food is just too good. Okay, so maybe that’s not a problem for people who don’t enjoy eating very much (where are you folks? Haven’t met any of you yet!), but Loz and I certainly don’t belong to that group. And Thailand is mean, my friends: tasty stuff […]
Europe: the Next Adventure
Europe in late winter is not a great place to get back to after three months of sun in Thailand, although I suspect your pity levels are not that high. It’s a bit early for spring, and too late for all the winter festivities that usually make the season vaguely bearable. Instead, it’s the final […]
Spending my birthday with James Bond. Nearly.
Slightly unexpectedly, I find myself sitting on a boat in Thailand as the deck erupts with a motley crew of young Australian girls, giving it their all to the pumping beats of Gangnam Style. This is followed by a step perfect rendition of The Macarena. A tremendous amount of fun is being had by all, […]
Exploring Thailand’s Gorgeous Trang Region
A bit of geography for you. Arguably Thailand’s most famous coastline is the Andaman. It’s the bit that you see in the postcards – impossibly pristine waters, beautiful long-tail boats, and those lumps of limestone that rise out of the sea like giant teeth. It’s home to islands, beaches, and people. Islands with names like […]
A review of Nern Chalet – a bit of luxury in Hua Hin
Accommodation is part of travelling. You go abroad to explore foreign countries, their food, their culture – or you might just want to relax. This is much easier on a nice beach and with a change of scenery than at home, next to the dirty laundry that needs doing. Accommodation has to be sorted out, […]
Know the signs and avoid dehydration when travelling
There’s an often ignored malady that I suspect many of us have succumbed to when travelling, maybe without even realising it. It’s particularly easy to get struck down by this one, and it can really ruin at least a few days of your trip. I am of course talking about dehydration. I’ve met quite a […]
Why you might want to visit Nakhon Si Thammarat
Before I came to Thailand, if you had asked me to name any Thai city beginning with the word “Nakhon”, I would have been fairly stuck. I’m guessing that you might be a bit like me in this regard. If not, maximum points, well done. As it is, our adventures in Thailand have taken us […]
