It’s my last night in Bangkok and my guide Nemo wants me to see a little of the modern nightlight bar scene. After a quick tour of Chinatown’s food epi-centre we take a tuk-tuk to a nearby neighbourhood that’s becoming known for its hipster bars. “See that alley?” Nemo says, while she’s pointing to a […]

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that I landed in Bangkok at noon and literally hit the ground running. My guide Nemo met me at the airport and that’s when my speed date with this sprawling, delightfully frenetic city kicked off. We dropped off my suitcase at the Pathumwan Princess Hotel, which is located […]

Thailand is a global destination for vacationers, but like most countries with beautiful beaches and world class resorts, it’s easy to overlook the cultural centres in favour of the spas, restaurants and occasional parties. While we wouldn’t recommend skipping out on the day cruises or massages, we’ve found a few places that make taking in […]

You know you’re dealing with a completely decadent dilemma when you have to decide if you want to take a morning swim at one of  Thailand’s most popular beaches—Nai Harn Beach—or take a dip in the pool at the Nai Harn resort. When I jokingly polled my Insta followers for advice, the beach was winning […]

We all have our go-to Thai food orders. For some, it’s spicy Pad Ka-Prao, for others a soupy Khai Soi; some are green curry devotees while others seldom sway from their favourite fiery red; some may extol Pad Thai while others venerate Larb. The ease—and frequency—with which we order at Thai spots might lead us […]

In March we spent a week trekking all over Hong Kong and Thailand and tracking down the most photogenic places for our Summer 2018 photoshoot. After the hustle of Hong Kong, we slowed down the pace and found the country’s best beaches, checked out the tourist attractions and relaxed at Phuket’s first luxury resort, the […]

We have just left Panyee, a Muslim village on stilts, and are en route to a beach picnic on the island of Rang-Yai when our photographer Arkan Zakharov yells: “Stop! Can we shoot on that little island?” He points to a rocky islet cropping out of the Andaman Sea. “Sure,” responds Teddy Kongsawatt, one of […]

For our Summer issue, the FASHION team ventured to Hong Kong and Phuket to create a 33-page fashion and travel feature starring model Shaughnessy Brown. With the hustle of Hong Kong and the Phuket’s laid-back nature, combining these two countries into one is like having the best of both worlds. You can read about every […]

After spending so much time on the water, I’m glad to be back on land and heading to the Phang Nga Elephant Park. It’s a small family-run operation in southern mainland Thailand that offers ethical elephant tourism. Jake Thaotad and his cousin Lek Songkaw set up the park in 2015 after Thaotad returned from London, […]

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. The 130-room resort, which opened in the ’80s and underwent major renos in 2016, is described as one of […]

“When an irritant gets into an oyster, the oyster secretes nacre, or mother-of-pearl, around the irritant, which [eventually] becomes a pearl,” explains Worawan Chawalitanantakit, the managing director at Rangyai Pearl, which has a shop in the town of Phuket. “Cultured pearls are created by seeding an oyster with an irritant, and it can take one […]

I would start my day with rice congee or jok at a little place near my home called Jok Sam Yan. For a splurge, I’d go to The Commons—Bangkok’s hippest food market and head to Egg My God for their cold angle hair pasta. I would then pop over to Bangkok City Gallery because they always […]
