    First time in Bangkok? 7 things your guidebook may not tell you

    17th October 2018 / Asia, Destinations, Thailand / 3 comments

    Many travellers start their exploration of Southeast Asia in Bangkok, and the city can be rather disorienting for first-timers. After three trips to Bangkok over a period of 20 years, certain things haven’t changed much. […]

    From Bali to Bangkok

    23rd March 2014 / Asia, Destinations, Indonesia, On the road, Thailand / 1 comment

    This will be my last post from the road, as I am flying back home early tomorrow morning. The end of my Balinese sojourn I spent the first part of the week in Ubud, with […]

    A hedonistic scribe in Chiang Rai

    2nd February 2014 / Asia, Destinations, Solo travel, Thailand / 5 comments

    I have a confession to make: at heart, I’m a hedonistic city girl. I’ve spent the last week in Chiang Rai city, partaking of the coffee culture (and the pastries), writing a lot, exploring markets […]

    Chiang Rai – into Thailand’s far north

    21st January 2014 / Asia, Destinations, On the road, Thailand / 2 comments

    When I arrived at my guesthouse in Chiang Rai  last Wednesday afternoon, I felt immediately more relaxed. I also felt exhausted. I had been travelling non-stop for 30 hours, ever since I left Mandalay on […]

    Krabi town and Railay beach

    25th December 2013 / Asia, Destinations, On the road, Thailand / 5 comments

    Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates it! Thais are mostly Buddhist (with some Muslims down here in the South) and don’t celebrate Christmas. However, in deference to their tourist customers, some hotels and restaurants have […]

    Long beach – blond sand and blond girls

    22nd December 2013 / Asia, Destinations, On the road, Thailand / 1 comment

    Long Beach has a different feel from Klong Khong beach. It feels a lot more mainstream. Most of the visitors seem to be sun-starved tourists from northern Europe, Sweden in particular, but also the Netherlands, […]
