Learn Thai Cooking at the Blue Elephant Cooking School in Bangkok, Thailand
I realized once I moved to Singapore that I had squandered a great opportunity to learn Thai cooking while living in Thailand. With the prospect of many years living there I lacked the urgency one has on a shorter trip to get out and sample the various experiences...
Sunrise Tacos Bangkok – Cheap-ish Mexican Food in Bangkok
Sometimes even though you’re surrounded by the freshest ingredients, some very talented cooks, and one of the most interesting cuisines in the world (Thai food) you just need something that reminds you of home. Since I grew up in Texas and New Mexico my comfort foods switch back...
Massage at Lavana Spa, Bangkok, Thailand
A well-priced day spa in the heart of Sukhumvit In Bangkok massage spas / salons are like 7 Eleven convenience stores….there’s one (or five) on every street and the offerings are typically inexpensive and fairly consistent.

The best city in Asia? Hong Kong, SAR China
My favorite city in Asia Everything about Hong Kong is to me is what an international city should be. While I have enjoyed living in Bangkok and Singapore, should Unilever ever open up an office in Hong Kong, I’d be there in a flash! There are some very...

A Longtime Bangkok Breakfast Favourite, Crepes & Co – Bangkok, Thailand
On our recent trip back to Bangkok we had to visit an old favorite breakfast spot – Crepes & Co on Sukhumvit Soi 12. They claim to be the best Creperie in Bangkok and who am I to say they’re not… I don’t think I can name a...

Best Fried Chicken in Bangkok? Soi Polo Chicken – Bangkok, Thailand
Soi Polo Chicken is really beyond words, but since I can’t hand you chicken through the monitor I’ll give it a try.
Brunch at the Four Seasons Hotel, Bangkok
I typically favour simpler brunches – something kitchy and cool, with homemade yoghurt and pancakes and endless mugs of coffee. You know the kind of place?…the one with braided rugs and probably a cat sleeping on the window sill, where I can turn up in some well-worn khaki’s...
