It’s always good to see some historical landmarks still remaining in Bangkok. This structure in front of Central Embassy used to be one of six boundary markers on the land owned by Nai Lert. This is the information about it from the plaque: In 1909, Phraya Bhakdinoraseth (Lert Sreshthaputra) bought a vast plot of land […]
In today’s day and age, running a successful business without any form of online presence is almost impossible. Whether you’re looking to promote a financial institution, a travel agency, or something more niche like a molecular diagnostic company — you’ll need to need to advertise online and one of the best ways to get instant […]
I was really happy to be invited to have lunch with the new British Ambassador last week at his private residence. This follows my tour of the new embassy in AIA Sathorn Tower a few months back. I find these informal meetings with ambassadors, and consular staff, very important to get to know each other and to […]
Can you believe that this is in Bangkok? This is Bang Khun Thian district which goes all the way to the sea. There’s a new cycle path here which we explored at the weekend. You can rent bicycles for only 30 Baht from the local museum. You can also do boat trips. Map for bicycle […]
The latest park to open in Bangkok is also going to be its largest once it is finished. This is Benjakitti Forest Park which is located next to the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center. You may already know Benjakitti Park which has a jogging and cycling track around a large lake. Well, this new extension […]
This weekend I am exploring the coastline from Samut Prakan to Samut Sakhon with my friends @chilipastetour and @DavidLuekens. There’s a new road along Sapphasamit Canal that now goes all the way.

Washington D.C is a beautiful city with many opportunities for professionals. The city is also the nation’s capital and full of amazing monuments, further adding to its charm. With such a strong economy and beautiful architecture, it’s no wonder why so many people are looking for Washington D.C apartments and homes for sale. However, the […]
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 […]
