Khao Phing Kan is a pair of islands on the west coast of Thailand, located in Phang Nga Bay, about 45 kilometres from Phuket.

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 […]

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.

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 […]

Panyee island is a 200-year-old Muslim fishing village built on stilts in Phang Nga Bay, about 7km from James Bond Island.

They had me at “Easy Breezy”—the name of the massage I am having at the Nai Harn resort’s spa. Lek, my therapist, arrives, and she’s radiant. “If I don’t look good, nobody trusts me,” she laughs when I compliment her. When her hands land on the rocks in my left shoulder, she decides to try […]
