On November 20th, 2010 – Man took on a clock counting down from one year – with the aim to leave England, debt-free of £16, 000 and to fly on a one-way ticket to an indefinite adventure around the world, before the clock ticked down to zero. On November 13th, 2011 – Man beat the [...]

Songkran in Chiang Mai
I receive quite a lot of emails nowadays from starry-eyed traveller wannabe’s, asking me where the ‘best’ place is, to go and get away from the daily grind. I’m usually a little disappointed that I can’t help them (yet) because since I left English shores, it’s been more work than play. However after last week, [...]
The Only White Man in the Village
A few months ago I suffered a travel bloggers conundrum; I had severe writers block and I really hadn’t been anywhere that exciting to write about. I don’t want to write the generic “top 10 things to do in Bangkok/Chiang Mai” type of posts on my blog. They do serve a purpose, but that’s just [...]
Plastic Surgery in Thailand, a Cancer Scare, Broke and an Untimely Erection
“Why the hell are you still in Chiang Mai” was the question asked by many ardent travellers. That’s a fair inquiry. I see travellers come and go here all the time, none of them stay longer than two weeks max and when asked this question – I was approaching the four months mark. Why aren’t [...]

Everyone who has visited Tiger Kingdom has at some point shamelessly created the generic Facebook profile picture, with themselves in an embrace with one of the lovable cubs… Yup, I jumped right on that bandwagon! I have always wanted [...]
Travel Photo of The Week: The Beautiful Innocence of Youth
I LOVE this photo. What I love about it the most, is the message behind it. I’m from a first world country and I was born in a peculiar generation that has seen vast transformation. I had to use my imagination as a child, but since my teens the world has advanced rapidly with technology [...]
Photo Journal: Smiling Faces of Thailand
They say a picture paints a thousand words and Aiste has put together a collection of beautiful smiles from her time in Thailand. Which one is your favourite? “Tonsay Bay in Thailand is one of those places where you understand what “a land of a thousand smiles” actually means. People are happy, relaxed and say [...]
Muay Thai Kickboxing Experience in Thailand (VIP, Baby – Video Included)
On Christmas Eve I dropped my last-minutes plans, when given a personal invite to a Muay Thai Kickboxing tournament by the promoter of Chiang Mai’s ‘Taephae Boxing Stadium.’ I’m a pacifist at heart, in the sense that I think fighting in pubs and clubs is just plain stupid. (why would you want to punch someones [...]
Christmas & New Year in Chiang Mai
Thailand is a predominantly Buddhist nation, but that doesn’t stop them celebrating Christmas day and MAN the Thai’s know how to throw a party. I’m not the biggest fan of Christmas in all honesty. My main gripe being the fake, in-ya-face commercialism, disgustingly spoilt brattish comments from fully grown adults, and the fact that people [...]
