What an amazing year, it truly has been an excellent adventure and I really enjoyed dedicating time to taking photos and improving my photography. Selecting the top 50 best photos had to be done over many coffees, beers and sakes. A big thank you goes to Steve for not only helping selection but lending his […]
Thailand. Close your eyes a minute and what do you see? Cheap beers, bars, beaches, ladyboys, nightlife? Many do and many are so wrong. Like judging a book by its cover, the pages have revealed so much more; Thailand deserves a second look; a proper look. This is what we saw in the short time […]
They’re falling like ten pins these borders, we’re crossing countries in a flash but in the hasty flight that is our south east Asian whirlwind travel gems are not lost to the void of a swirling tempest. On a recurring theme of ‘more than what you thought’ we leave Thailand and with it comes the […]
Every cloud has a silver lining goes the saying, just as every road has a traffic jam in Bangkok, yet a hard task it is to scratch the former from the latter. An ocean of red lights twinkling as if a burning moon has rippled the surface of a world stood still turns our silver […]
There’s times when curiosity gets the better of you, when you just have to have a look at something that you are certain contains little nutritional value. Welcome to Khao san road, Bangkok.

It’s that time of year, the moment where the world stands still for the birthday that is far more than just another circle on a calendar, it’s a global celebration.

Disclaimer is defined as such: a statement that denies something, especially responsibility. A disclaimer is precisely whats required to begin this day in terms of not taking responsibility for how it has unfolded; it also applies to the reading of this days adventures. So mums, relatives, colleagues and friends; don’t judge, as the disclaimer says, […]
We all know that moment, we arrive home when work was too busy, rugby training went too late or you’ve just had one of those days so you grabbed some Thai on the way because cooking was just too hard. On top of the pile of containers so often sits a small foil lined paper […]
There’s food, riding bikes around town, some shopping and outstanding coffee. Even the coffee must be skimmed over today as they pale into insignificance come 8:30pm, the moment this day becomes alive in a way to make the hours that came before it seem irrelevant, not worth commenting on. In a travel headspace where every […]
As if yesterdays too easy embracing of the Thai food eating disorder wasn’t enough we’re back on the wagon and ready to seek happiness at the bottom of a bowl all over again; it’s cooking school time. Again. After the Bamboo Tree cooking school in Luang Prabang knocked our socks off there seems no better […]
