Wat Rong Khun (The White Temple) in Chiang Rai, Thailand

When I visited Chiang Rai during my first visit to Thailand, I made the mistake of not visiting the famous "White Temple". I didn't know a lot about it at the time apart from the fact that it was all white, and I was feeling pretty "templed out", so I didn't bother to make the [...]

Following the Mekong River through Southeast Asia

I stood at the immigration point in Huay Xai, Laos, looking across the swift flowing muddy waters of the Mekong River. On the other side was Thailand, my destination. This would be the last time that I would cross the Mekong on this trip. As I stood there waiting for the boat to arrive to [...]

Golden Toilet at Wat Rong Khun, Thailand

Today's travel photo is of the toilet at Wat Rong Khun (The White Temple) near Chiang Rai, Thailand. I'm not one of those weird people that go around taking photos of toilets, but this particular one is probably the fanciest I have ever seen, and I thought it was definitely worth the photo. At first [...]

Roadside Restaurant in Chiang Mai, Thailand

Today's travel photo is of a roadside restaurant in Chiang Mai, Thailand. These little food stalls and eateries may not look very appealing to you, but I've found through my travels over the years that it is these sort of places where you will find the best local food. The food in these little roadside [...]

City View from Wat Arun in Bangkok, Thailand

Today's travel photo is a city view from Wat Arun in Bangkok, Thailand. Wat Arun is a beautiful temple that is characterized by it's tall prangs (towers) that are decorated in tiles and sculptures. Climbing to the top of the central tower is quite hair raising, especially if you're afraid of heights, but the view [...]

Quiet Alleyway in Chiang Mai, Thailand

Today's travel photo is of a quiet alleyway in the Old City of Chiang Mai, Thailand. Something that I love about Chiang Mai is that it is a large, busy city with everything that you need, but once you turn off the main roads it feels like a small country town. I absolutely loved just [...]
