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.

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 […]

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 […]

Khao Phing Kan is a pair of islands on the west coast of Thailand, located in Phang Nga Bay, about 45 kilometres from Phuket. The small needle-shaped island is officially called Tapu, but it’s known as James Bond Island because it appeared in 1974’s The Man with the Golden Gun. Before the film’s release, the region […]

While we were planning our Hong Kong and Phuket trip—basically a dream combo destination—we wanted to cast a model who could bring her personality and perspective to the project. We chose Shaughnessy Brown to star in this fashion/travel story because she’s an excellent model and because she’s feisty, adventurous and curious about the world. Self-sufficiency […]

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 […]

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 […]

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.
