The Nai Harn resort, which is located in the southern end of Phuket, reminds me of a crisp white Jil Sander shirt: The lines are pure, and the design has the same elegant ease and timelessness.

It’s just after 1 a.m., and I’m settling into my biz-class seat on the non-stop flight from Toronto to Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific. Knowing I’ll be able to put my feet up for the next 14.5+ hours is the proverbial “game changer.” The glass of Deutz Brut Classic bubbles also helps, as does the […]

“Shooting at the Ladies’ Market was amazing,” says Shaughnessy. “In a city that is all about stimulation, we captivated people’s attention when we took to the street. It was wild!
