Coconut palms are everywhere. Throughout the countryside, in every province, and even on the mean streets of Bangkok, there are coconut palms. The fruits are cheap, and you can buy them whole for nearly nothing. After spending time in Thailand, it’s always a shock to come back to the West and see them in grocery stores for two dollars!

If you like watching people beat the hell out of each other as much as I do and happen to spend part of your Thailand holiday in Koh Samui, you have to make it over to Lamai beach on Saturday nights for the FREE muay thai action.

The internet dream was once something we merely talked about. Now it is a reality. While about five years ago marketing your business could be very profitable, businesses in today’s world are beginning to realize it is a necessity in order to compete.

There’s nothing like it in the West. It’s an incredible, massive maze of vendors; filled with tens of thousands of people every weekend, the scent of spicy Thai food wafting through the humid, tropical air, and the constant chatter of deals being made.

I finally found my way into what seemed like a mirage for so long in my corner of the woods—an authentic German microbrewery smack dab in the middle of Chiang Mai, Thailand’s cultural center. I wanted to pop in many times but every time I drove by it just looked too dead to make it worth the time. Well, last night I decided I was no way going to let […]

I like Koh Samui for what it is, but heart-stopping thrills aren’t exactly on that list. They haven’t got surfing. For scuba, you have to head over to Koh Tao. No skydiving. The rock-climbing is mediocre from what I’m told. Four wheeling is pretty decent anywhere, but you’re not exactly off the beaten track. It’s a mellow place, but if you’re looking for a quick thrill that will get your […]

The mere mention of Khao San road to the seasoned backpacker conjures up images of flickering neon lights and the endless clatters of a never ending festive mood. Located in Banglamphu of the Phra Nakhon district in central Bangkok, Khao San road has been known as “A short road with the longest dream in the world.” Just one kilometer northward from the Grand Palace, this short road has evolved throughout […]

It’s not as common, but from time to time in Thailand or on your travels elsewhere, you meet someone who has figured out how to fund their Thailand dream lifestyle or life on the road with freelance writing. Yeah, sure, you might be thinking—I’ve heard that one before…With all the misleading information out there and websites that tell you that you can make money but just try to get you […]

If you are thinking about attending the Koh Phangan Full Moon party on your next Thailand holiday you will need to consider a suitable accommodation package unless you want to end up sleeping directly on Haad Rin Beach on Koh Phangan Island – right in the middle of all the party action.
