It's time for another Instagram round up post! Living in Chiang Mai, Thailand for two months is one of the greatest travel experiences that I've had. It was the first time that I've actually stayed still for an extended period of time while overseas, and during that time I was able to discover the benefits [...]
Happy New Year everyone! Today's travel photo is of the very impressive Rama VIII Bridge at night in Bangkok, Thailand. Seeing this bridge always brings a smile to my face as it is the first thing that I see when I head to pier to catch the river ferry in the area that I like [...]
Today's travel photo is of a long tail boat docked at Tha Chang Pier on the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, Thailand. This pier is one of the most popular ferry stops on the river for travellers as it is where you hop off to visit the Grand Palace. I took this photo during one [...]
Today's travel photo is of a boat making its way up Bangkok Noi in the Thonburi District of Bangkok, Thailand. Bangkok Noi is one of the main canals in Bangkok, and if you visit the Taling Chan floating market by boat, or do a canal tour, you will probably use this canal to get into [...]
Chiang Mai is the first place I've ever stayed in a foreign country for longer than a couple of weeks. During my two months in this city in Northern Thailand I realised the benefits of an extended stay in one place. Once I had seen all of the popular tourist attractions, temples and markets, I [...]
There are some temples in Chiang Mai that seem to attract all of the tourists, while there are others that are just as impressive but see very little tourist traffic. Since I had visited the more popular temples during my first visit to Chiang Mai, this time around I decided to check out some of [...]
Every Sunday afternoon in Chiang Mai, Thailand, Rachadamnoen Rd - the main street through the Old City - is closed off to all traffic to become one big long night market. From the central area around Tha Pha Gate, stalls set up all along the road right up to Wat Phra Singh, and they sell [...]
Today's travel photo is of the viharn at the Buddhist temple of Wat Chiang Mun in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Wat Chiang Mun was originally built in 1297 at the founding of the city, making it the oldest temple in Chiang Mai. You could easily spend a couple of days temple hopping around the city, but [...]
If you have even a basic knowledge of Geography, you'll know that Thailand and Malaysia are bordering countries. There is very little distance to travel between the two. In fact, it only takes one hour to fly between the two capital cities of Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur. So when I say that it took us [...]
I hugged the side of the road as cars and motorbikes zoomed past me. I was used to riding a scooter now in Asia, but I still refused to go much faster than 60kph, even on a main road like this one. I felt my wife's fingers dig into me each time a truck or [...]
