About Me

I've been a regular visitor to Thailand since 2006, during which time I have developed a deep appreciation of the intricacies of the country, from its warm-hearted people to its quirky and adorable animals, from its fantastic food to the awesome nightlife. A lover of both beaches and mountains, I've discovered the best of both worlds in Thailand, and split my time between the jungles of the north and the beautiful sandy bays of the south. But there is still so much of this country to uncover – and I invite you to share my experiences as I visit new destinations and broaden my knowledge of old favourites. In 2010, I was awarded a coveted Friends of Thailand Award for services promoting tourism to Thailand through my travel journalism. I'm proud to further my association with the Thailand travel industry through this blog.
