With the Andaman Sea’s hundreds of Islands just off the coast of mainland Thailand, the country has plenty of beautiful beach-front locations where you can watch the sunset. Considering you’ll never have the time to hit all the best sunset locations, we have two very different suggestions for must see-sunset-views! Эта история о том, как […]

Seventeen km from Phuket Town, you’ll find Rawai beach which is known for its white beaches. But with shallow waters busy with boat traffic, it’s not Thailand’s top spot for swimming.

When you’re on Hong Kong Island, you’re in the Milky Way of neon. “There’s a sense of technological utopia here. It’s like you’re walking in a dream of what the world is going to be like in 100 years but it’s now,” observed Shaughnessy Brown. After taking in the lights from the ground at the Ladies’ […]

Not many people have heard of Koh Suwan, and there’s no reason they should have. It’s a slip of an island, an islet really, shaped like a bra. Bright green and lacy with palms, slightly lopsided, one cup more padded than the other. I’d been staring at it from my deck chair at the Emerald […]

In North America, we’re used to seeing Buddha statues the size of garden gnomes, which is why Phuket’s Big Buddha is so impressive. Standing at the base of the 45-metre white marble statue is humbling. It was built with donations from around the world. It’s located at the top of the Nakkerd Hills between Chalong […]

If you’re looking for an elite tropical getaway in Thailand, check out this 5-star hotel, spa and private villa property on Cape Panwa Peninsula, at the very southeastern tip of Phuket.

After walking 34,148 steps and climbing 61 flights of stairs in hilly Old Town Central, I am primed for my Oriental Essence Massage at the Mandarin Oriental hotel in Central. (The world’s longest covered outdoor escalator is in this neighbourhood, but I only rode it once.) Before the treatment, I take a dip in the […]

“Have you eaten rice today?” This common salutation among Thai people reflects importance of food and rice to their diet and culture. Indeed, the humble grain is the ideal foil and cushion for curries and stir-fries. Food is taken so seriously in Thailand that kings have written odes to curries. Thai people are also sensualists […]

Old Town Central, which is one of the oldest—and most eclectic—neighbourhoods in Hong Kong, is best explored on foot. Stroll along Wyndham Street, Caine Road, Possession Street, Queen’s Road Central and Hollywood Road and check out the newly opened H Queen’s, a 24-floor tower that houses exhibitions and galleries. What’s the psychology behind colour red? […]

People from here are always in a rush because the rhythm of the city, they’re not very laid back about anything. They walk very fast. They talk very fast. Hong Kong is energetic, international and a food paradise, but we also love nature. I think one of the biggest misconceptions about Hong Kong is that […]
