La vie Vientiane: Catch your breath in the underrated Laotian capital
La vie Vientiane: Catch your breath in the underrated Laotian capital
Sunday 24 November 2019, 10:00AM
You know when a waiter sets your meal down on the table and warns you that the plate is hot, you have to touch it just to be sure? Well, in a similar vein, when I was advised not to bother with Vientiane on my trip to Laos PDR, I had to pay a visit. But this time I didn’t get my fingers burned. Instead, my travel partner and I had one of our most memorable trips to date.

Seven hundred words it is. One shot at my debut article about my recent trip to Thailand, plus I need to pick just two photos out of the 800-plus I took while I was visiting places not many tourists venture to. In a nutshell, I need to de­scribe to you what was important to me.

Every few months or so, I get hot flushes fol­lowed by extreme agitation. I’m fairly sure it’s not male menopause. My guess is it’s the traveller’s blues.

Have you ever dreamt of an uncrowded paradise, unique, special and set apart from the rest? A place where natu­ral and warm smiles abound? A place with no wrong turns, where every road invites you to explore a traditional and simple way of life? A place where a few days’ holiday becomes a life experience you don’t want to end?

Last month marked 12 months of my writing for The Phuket News, a small, yet for me, significant milestone which unsurprisingly passed un­celebrated by all but myself.

Taipei 101: Discovering the overlooked Taiwanese capital
Taipei 101: Discovering the overlooked Taiwanese capital
Sunday 25 August 2019, 10:00AM
I’ll admit I did fairly little research before my re­cent trip to Taipei. Do I need a visa? No. How’s the weather this time of year? Swelteringly hot and humid. And what’s the currency? New Taiwanese dollar. And one dollar = 0.98 baht. So that’s easy to work out. And off we went.

I noticed a few photos appearing of a new temple under construction last year on the hillside above Patong Beach and had also seen the access road to this new temple being built next to the Chinese Shrine on top of Patong Hill.

BANGKOK: The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has announced that Thailand has added five new national parks around the country during 2016 to 2019 since the start of the reign of His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn Bodindradebayavarangkun (King Rama X).

It starts with that distinctive smell. It has a unique quality – familiar to some, new to oth­ers. Yet one fact is universal to both the salty dog and the first-time visitor: people the world over are drawn to the sea.

Saturday 13 July 2019, 09:00AM
The southwestern monsoon has arrived, turning Phuket beaches into dangerous traps for unwitting swimmers. Strong waves and swirling foam do little to prevent some beachgoers from entering the water, sadly often to their deaths. Here’s what to look out for on your next trip to the beach.

Blazing Saddles: How jumping in the saddle can take our love lives up a gear
Saturday 1 June 2019, 03:00PM
Ask any advertising executive and they’ll tell you that using the words “sex or sexy” in an article will increase an ad’s readership by almost 100%. In fact, the article you are now perusing could well become the most widely-read in the long-running Blazing Saddles series, and you may well be one of many who has never previously read a Blazing Saddles article and indeed has very lit­tle interest in cycling!

Saturday 1 June 2019, 10:00AM
The name Yassine Darkaoui might ring a bell. That’s because the Moroccan sailor, entrepreneur and Phuket expat graced the Life cover in January this year, sat in lotus on the bow of a boat against the backdrop of Phang Nga.

Typically around this time of year, we begin to experience the Southeast Asian version of the changing of the seasons. From the consistent northeasterly winds of the dry season, a change starts to occur. The first sign of the change is welcome rains signalling the end of tourist high season.

Blazing Saddles: A lesson from Brisbane
Blazing Saddles: A lesson from Brisbane
Monday 29 April 2019, 11:00AM
Queensland’s capital city of Brisbane has a population of 2.4 million people, some four times the official figure for Phuket island. Yet driving around Brisbane, as I recently did, you would be forgiven for thinking you were in a quiet country town. The traffic flows efficiently and there’s rarely any bot­tlenecks or congestion with which to con­tend.
Pet-sitting: travel for animal lovers with a sense of adventure
Pet-sitting: travel for animal lovers with a sense of adventure
Monday 15 April 2019, 03:00PM
There are plenty of established ways to travel the world. Backpacking, couchsurfing, volunteering, sailing, road-tripping, taking a cruise… But pet-sitting? That’s a new one on me. (And one I wish I was familiar with before I, fresh off the boat, was met with a bill for five rabies injections after attempt­ing to befriend a street cat.)

To E, or not to E? A time and a place for the electric bike
Saturday 30 March 2019, 03:00PM
Like many cycling enthusiasts, I have long held a prejudice against electric bicycles. Somehow the whole idea of adding a motor of any kind into the primal equation of man, muscle and machine seemed just plain wrong and indeed a bit akin to, well, cheating.
