This morning I visited the new Samut Prakan Immigration office in Bang Phli. It has temporarily moved from Paknam to Thip Nimitra Market (pronounced tip-ni-mit). They will be building a five-storey building on the Paknam waterfront. It will probably take them a few years. [2] Thip Nimitra Market is on Theparak Road opposite Banplee Hospital. […]
It’s weird to be a travel blogger who doesn’t travel. Actually, I don’t actually know if I can call myself a travel blogger anymore, but what’s the alternative? If I just say “blogger” without that key little word prefacing it all, it feels like I might unravel like a sweater. A blogger? No. That’s not […]
I am an avid thrift shopper; I have been for years. As a kid, we went out of necessity, and I lived in fear that my classmates might figure it out. One girl (popular, perfect, so, so pretty) seemed to have it out for me – she’d interrogate me about my clothes, one time forcefully […]
Every time you set out on the road to head somewhere, there are several things that you need to do in order to keep safe and arrive in a timely manner. The fact is that in some cases travellers who set out on the road don’t make it to their destination due to unfortunate and […]
Many people out there have become environmentally conscious in recent years, which is great news! It made a number of trends rise in popularity, including eating less meat and using biodegradable products, among other things. There is one trend that appears to be particularly interesting, though, and that is making your holidays environmentally friendly. In […]
As more people trade in their daily 9-to-5 commute for a WFH model, a lot of us are starting to consider a return to international travel. Working remotely opens a world of travel possibilities, all without having to abandon the security of having a regular job. Typical 14-day vacations never allow you to experience your […]
Aurora may be considered a suburb of Denver, but in size, it’s slightly bigger, spread over nearly 155 square miles, with the Mile High City covering 153. It lies about 9.5 miles east of downtown Denver and is home to Denver International Airport, with its location giving it the nickname, “Gateway to the Rockies.” Many […]
Thank you for agreeing to answer some questions about your work and life here in Thailand. Can you begin by briefly introducing yourself? Of course. I’m delighted to be back in this region. I’ve spent much of my working career here. My first job after university was as a French and German teacher at an […]
Was 2020 a slow reading year for anyone else? The pandemic basically turned my brain into mush. That being said, my love for reading came back with a vengeance this year. I’ve been reading so much this summer and it feels delicious. I’ve run the gamut from memoirs to fiction to historical non-fiction. I’ve liked […]
Not gonna lie: when you said you were having a casual “we’re all vaccinated” shindig at your place, I wasn’t sure what you meant? Ha, not like casual sex, right? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. I mean, does casual refer to the attire? What does casual attired mean to me, someone who has […]
My husband’s Twitter account is a lot more professional than mine, because my husband is a lot more professional than I am. He’s also not really into PDAs, and so it’s pretty easy for me to embarrass him by simply mentioning that *lowers voice* we sometimes do adult things together. So on a regular basis, […]
Last week, a friend showed up on our doorstep. He was there to go to a birthday dinner with us, the sort of thing that was commonplace two years ago but slipped into the realm of impossibility over the last 14 months, and now, somehow, is possible again. The dinner was on a restaurant patio, […]

Travelling with friends and exploring new places together can be a fun experience. The excitement that comes with preparing for a holiday is one of a kind. It brings you back to the times when you were a child and could barely contain your enthusiasm the night before a school trip. Group travel can be […]
