Bangkok is a consumer’s paradise. Whether you’re looking for a thrifty bargain in the heat of an outdoor market, or high end items at a posh air-conditioned mall, leave room in your suitcase. I’m not much of a mall shopper, I prefer to buy local at mom and pop’s. However, […]
Looking for some exercise or a shady place to relax, Benjakiti Park is a rare space in Bangkok to escape city life. The parks key element is a large lake with a 1.2 mile perimeter path. You can rent a bike and also swan boats. There are separate sides for […]
There aren’t too many trees in Bangkok, a heavily polluted city with nonstop action. Those looking for respite for a bit of fresh air should flock to the largest and oldest park in the city – Lumpini Park, named after the birthplace of Buddha. While there aren’t any dense woods, […]
My brother who lives in Bangkok has a sad story involving a poisonous snake. He lives at the top of a hill and during a flood there was a snake seeking higher ground. The snake struck his dog, who subsequently died. There are 56 venomous snakes that live in Thailand, […]
Urban exploration, like nothing you’ve ever experienced – no tickets required to board defunct aircrafts in Bangkok’s Airplane Graveyard. This is not a legitimate attraction in any sense.

Seeing the top visited attraction in Bangkok, the exquisite Grand Palace, is a must for everyone. Yes it’s expensive (in Thai standards), yes it’s crowded, but you’ve never seen anything like its grandeur. The complex was home to Thai kings for over 150 years, the royal court, government, and the […]
Thailand is the perfect introduction to travel in Asia with its rich culture, some of the best food on the planet, fantastic nature, and well worn tourist industry. It is a large and complex country, if you plan on exploring it without a tour company a great deal of research […]
I was skeptical about taking the 360 Tour, a day trip which takes its passengers entirely around San Cristobal in a speedboat. Would it be trying to cram too many things in? Are they just trying to make more money from tourists? There are a lot of variations at stake, […]
When visiting San Cristobal in the Galapagos, the Highlands are a very different environment than the main town of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno. You may experience cold and mist at this elevation of up to 2,400’, so bringing a rain jacket or extra layer. There are three typical destinations on a […]
