Finally Wearing My Face Mask In Bangkok…Like A Boss!
Well I finally did it. I finally went outside wearing a face mask…I finally feel like a true Bangkokian (I don’t know if Bangkokian is an actual word to describe people who live in Bangkok but I’m claiming it!). Make a note of the date and we’ll all have an anniversary celebration next year because…
The Big Dog Cafe And Washing My Feet In The Toilet
Are you a dog lover? Basically if you’re not then this blog isn’t for you, we also can’t be friends and I hope you die alone, (I know that’s a bit harsh but I really love dogs!) If you are a dog lover then this post will probably make you a bit jealous and you may even…
Are You A Bank Robber? Then Read On!
Robbing a bank is hard, or so I’m told (I’ve never tried). A lot of planning goes into any successful bank job. That is until now. Here is a sign that I saw last week…
Meeting Bjork At The Temple Of The Emerald Buddha
Recently I made a conscious effort to see some of the more obvious tourist attractions in Bangkok and one that seems to be at the top of most of the lists of ‘things you must do before you die in Bangkok’ was a visit to The Temple of the Emerald Buddha. So I packed my…

I Prayed For Good Karma And Someone Stole My Shoes.
The following story is entirely true, only the names have been changed to protect the innocent. I’m not really a religious person and when I say ‘not really’ I mean ‘it means nothing to me, it’s all fake, oh no am I going to hell now?’ But I am in Thailand, a country with a…
My Nice, Relaxing, Calming and Soothing First Visit To A Thai Immigration Office…
Like any ‘farang’ staying in Thailand long-term, the time will eventually come when you have to go to Thai Immigration and extend your visa. I recently had to go to get an extension for my 60 day visa and it was as joyful as the title of this blog suggests (are you picking up on…
The Dog That Sleeps In The Middle Of The Road.
I saw many wonderful sights on my recent trip to Chiang Mai over the New Year holiday. I have images that will stay with me forever, memories of sky lanterns filling the sky as the clock neared midnight on new years eve, the bustling sunday market where you can buy pretty much anything you can…
The Street Art Of Chiang Mai
Chiang Mai, the northern Thai city and formerly the country’s capital, home to over 300 temples, breathtaking mountain views and a rich history dating back to the 13th century…so having taken all of that into consideration I decided to write a blog about the city’s street art. This is also only my second post so…
