The Abandoned Bag (Thailand Travel Diary #2)

    I shared a row of seats with a ravenous Italian couple during the flight to Hong Kong. They ordered a private breakfast (BEFORE the included breakfast was served), ate two platters each, as well as my croissant and shortbread! What famine is going on over there?! I wanted to ask,

    Hello Bum Gun My Old Friend (Thailand Diary #3)

      Say what you want about wiping your butt-crack with paper after squatting on a porcelain toilet bowl as Sir John Harrington intended; our Eastern friends have a much more efficient and hygienic setup. Water washes away all manner of sins. On the electric taxi ride from Bangkok airport, we whizzed

      Massage Time! (Thailand Travel Diary #4)

        I felt SO much better after a long sleep. Was out cold in record time and up with the morning birds. There really wasn’t much to do along the little Bangkok back-alley where I was staying for 1 night, but I did want that massage. They were closed. I enjoyed

        Hurling (Thailand Travel Diary #5)

          Enjoyed a very pleasant flight from Bangkok to Chiang Mai, on Thai Smile Airlines. The colour scheme was blindly bright orange and purple, including the uniforms that the super cheerful flight attendants wore. Got fetched by my friend immediately after landing. He stays in a flat near the top of

          Date Night (Thailand Travel Diary #6)

            I’ve been on the dating apps since arriving. I would say that 50-60% of local matches are simply offering sex. I had been chatting to one Thai girl (May, of the same age) who was keen to meet under normal circumstances. This was my first solo outing and I could

            The Life of Pai (Thailand Travel Diary #7)

              Roughly 300km north of Chiang Mai is a little hippie haven called Pai – a small town which attracts heaps of young travelers. A shuttle bus takes you on a 3 to 4 hour rollercoaster of a ride up the mountains, which is honestly like doing a series of U-turns

              Confident Smile No.1! (Thailand Travel Diary #8)

                It was the “Magic Festival” across the road. A loud and proud band played on stage facing four rows of food stalls. I’ve sampled a few different things, but not from the insect stall (yet). Need to start getting used to the future of food. There was also an animal
