When Hong Kong-based commodity broker David Nimmo bought a villa on Samui’s north coast he and his girlfriend, Moon, faced a hefty bill furnishing it to suit their tastes. With a limited choice of furnishings available on the island and inflated prices he decided to go shopping elsewhere, so he flew 1,800kms north to Chiang [...]
Fun, fun, riotous fun! That’s probably the defining character of a nation known for injecting enjoyment into almost everything it does. ‘Sanook’, as the Thais call it, should be part of everything, whether its singing karaoke, sharing somtam or celebrating Songkran with a solid splashing!
Good grief! How does one describe a 100,000 person water fight. [...]
Like a big cosy duvet, cloud shrouds the valley far below us. Away in the distance a crowing cockerel gets everyone out of bed and the only other sound is the crunch of our bike tyres on the gravel track. With a soft click of gears our group tackles a small incline but our attention [...]
Most visitors to Chiang Mai head straight to the temples and to the surrounding mountains to see the hill tribes. The culture in Northern Thailand may be defined by the excellent trekking and historic sites, but one of the greatest attractions for a growing number of people is the excellent shopping at the Baan Tawai [...]

When most people come to Thailand, they have visions of unspoiled beaches and topical scenery.

Yet when they reach Phuket, people inevitably end up at Patong Beach and curse the day they [...]
The thought of visiting a reconstruction of some of Thailand’s temples and houses on the outskirts of Bangkok might sound like a day at a tacky amusement park, but without the rides. However, The Ancient City (Muang Boran) in Samut Prakan is a pleasant surprise and a good way to spend a morning or an [...]
Doi Angkhang really is at the precipice of a wild frontier. I discovered this when our press trip rolled up at an army lookout point somewhere on the roof of Thailand, and there before us was the sweeping hermit-like expanse of Myanmar. Only a small saddle separated us from the their red flagged post, but [...]
Chiang Mai, affectionately known as the Rose of the North, is the principal city of Northern Thailand. The city’s history can be traced back 700 years to the Lanna Kingdom.

Why are so many people fascinated from this kingdom? Maybe because it was never colonized by the Europeans and therefore remained original and unique without the dominating influence of European culture or language (colonialism). Speaking in geographical terms Thailand’s surface area makes a large part of South East Asia. Its territory extends from the [...]
