Photos: One night in Bangkok
Just south of Bangkok’s Chinatown a warren of alleys spreads along the waterfront. The city commissioned several artists to do murals and installations. I like to walk cities both during the day and the evening to catch the stark differences between the two.

Hit and miss on the Bangkok ferries
It was another day of getting lost in Bangkok. As you may remember from a previous story on this visit to Bangkok, I intended to discover some of the less traveled waterways in Bangkok. Today, I wanted to try another of the canal ferries and also go as far north as I could on the…

A remote island getaway just five minutes from Bangkok
It’s funny that the same day I published my story of a remote island paradise just five minutes from Mazatlan, I found another remote island getaway just five minutes from Bangkok.

fuSOULageS missing from airplane graveyard
On my last visit, I’d read on Atlas Obscura about an airplane graveyard within the city limits of Bangkok. You can find these in different places around the world, but I thought I’d put it on my list for a future visit since I’d never seen one. With 3 weeks in Bangkok, I had plenty…

Driving on the Wrong Side of the Wrong Road in Thailand
Picking up our rental car from Chiang Mai Airport The fact that my phone announced “the GPS signal has been lost” before we even left the rental car center should have been a harbinger for things to come. I wasn’t in a position to appropriately heed the foreshadowing because all of my attention was focused…

Getting Tested In Thailand
No, it’s not what you think! As part of the Thailand Test and Go program, visitors are required to take two Covid tests: one on arrival and one seven days later. The irony is that once you’ve tested negative for your first test, you are free to go anywhere in the country, potentially…

Getting to Thailand: My Adventures with Joan
As my phone alarm went off, I rolled over to read a message that our flight had been delayed an hour and a half. In reality, this flight had already been delayed by three weeks. It all started when I met Joan. She’d gotten my attention by agreeing to a first date that entailed a…
