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 [...]
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 [...]
Today's travel photo is of a wooden boat making its way towards Rama VIII Bridge on the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, Thailand. I took this photo while on the ferry that makes its way up and down the river highway that is the Chao Phraya River. I was just about to hop off the [...]
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 [...]
Today's travel photo is of a hiking trail running through some thickets of bamboo on the way to Khun Kon Waterfall in Northern Thailand. We hadn't actually planned on doing any hiking on this particular day, but during a scooter ride out in the country around Chiang Rai, we saw Khun Kon Waterfall on our [...]
I’m sitting at my favourite beer spot in Chiang Mai. It’s Friday afternoon and I've spent the day typing away in my apartment, so it’s good to get out for some fresh air. I’m sitting out the front of the bar where I can look out over the street, chatting to my wife about our [...]
Today's travel photo is of our favourite fruit shake cart in Chiang Mai, Thailand. For the two months that we were in Chiang Mai, we got a fruit shake (smoothie) from here nearly every night. The street food carts and restaurants along Moon Muang near Sompet Market in the Old City serve up some great [...]
I know I’m still writing about Cambodia on the blog, but we’ve actually been living in Chiang Mai, Thailand for the past two months. We've been on the road for most of this year, and after three months of continuous travel in Southeast Asia, it has been great to just stay put here in Chiang [...]
Today's travel photo is of Wat Rong Khun (The White Temple) in Chiang Rai, Thailand. This is a modern temple, built in the late 90's, but it is unlike any that I have seen in Thailand. The fact that it is completely white is only the start. Its somewhat unconventional artwork is what really makes [...]
During our trip to Thailand in 2011, we visited a White Karen village near Chiang Mai in the north of the country. The White Karen are a minority ethnic group in Northern Thailand and take their name from the white clothing that the women must wear before they are married. After marriage they can wear [...]
