It was on a stroll along Phang Nga Road in Phuket town on a particularly sun-blinding day that I realised just how surreal life is. Not more than a few months previous I was hauling my butt along Oxford Street, London through the pouring rain in a failed attempt to get to a tedious media launch on time. In the blink of an eye I’m living in S.E. Asia as a Lifestyle Editor. But I should have braced myself, it was about to get a whole lot weirder.

Mention the word ‘yoga’ to many and they envision a group of tie-dyed bohemians, chanting in unison while perched in peculiar body contortions. However, in this modern age, yoga has become an easily accessible past time, featured in many gyms, health centres and online wellness sites.

The Twenty-four Filial Exemplars is a classic Chinese text of Confucian family piety written by Guo Jujing during the Yuan dynasty (1260–1368). The text is an example of, in certain cases, extreme actions to fulfilling familial obligations. From killing offspring to free up their ration of food, breastfeeding toothless grandparents to tales of rather gruesome self harm, it’s not without its controversy nor for the faint of heart.

Monday 27 August 2018, 09:00AM
Although once thought of as a ‘gay man’s paradise,’ Thailand has done a lot in recent years to dispel that notion. There is still no gay marriage to be found here and many foreign guests, dignitaries and tourists would like to know why… and, as usual, the answer all comes down to culture.

’The waves don’t look that big.’ ’I will only go out up to my knees.’ ’I’m a strong swimmer. I’ll be fine.’ As a veteran ocean lifeguard, I have heard the above statements time and time again from beach-goers wanting to swim in dangerous conditions.

I was looking back at some older photos from the years 2002 - 2007. Sixteen years ago, old Phuket Town was certainly not ready for tourism. The old town streets looked rather dirty and there was really not much in the way of cafes and restaurants.
