By far one of the most beautiful landscapes on Earth can be savored while sitting on the deck of a boat in “Descending Dragon Bay,” otherwise known as Halong Bay, off the coast of North Vietnam. A beautiful ocean landscape, Halong Bay is riddled with the kind of limestone karsts you find jutting out of the waters in Krabi, Thailand – only it is said to be even […]
If you’ve read a lot of my articles, you probably know that I am big on getting off the tourist track and seeing some “authentic” local living—because in my experience, a lot of travelers see a candied up, worn out, and expensive side of the countries they visit.

There are all sorts of amazing things you can get ridiculously cheap in Thailand. Some of them come cheap because they are made cheap, and after you go through a few sets of sandals in one month, you’ll know what I’m talking about.

If there’s one thing that Thailand has achieved international acclaim for, this is a distinct cuisine. Known across the world for it’s spicy and all around strong flavors, many feel Thai food is one of the best in the world, and I’d have to agree on that front. But when you finally do step in country, you’ll find other foods that are even more distinct than you […]
I wrote some time ago about the political situation here in Thailand—well, actually, I haven’t covered the actual politics of the political situation, because frankly, I don’t think I know enough about it to comment and often Westerners who live here and voice opinions about the government can often be frowned upon. I can understand why some would voice their opinions anyhow because they do live here, but in […]

One great aspect of living or traveling for longer periods of time in Thailand is its prime location. While Bangkok is an international hub and this country is one of the most livable (while still affordable) in the Southeast Asia region, there are some really fascinating destinations that are a cheap flight and a few hours away. If you have the time, it would really pay to go check out […]
Ever wonder what it would be like to live with elephants? Well you probably know that Thailand is a popular destination for people to get their elephant fix. There are elephant camps scattered all across the country and elephant rides are easily arranged. If you’re lucky you might even see one casually walking down the street in Chiang Mai like I have! There is one place in particular that stands […]
Phnom Sampeou is one of the most popular visitor attractions in the whole of Cambodia – and looking at it, it is not hard to see why! This attraction can be found 12 kilometres southwest of the city of Battambang and is steeped in history and legend. Phnom Sampeou is a name that every Cambodian will be familiar with, largely due to the legend of Rumsay Sok that is associated […]
