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.

We can all find ourselves guilty of failing to see what’s right in front of us. So quick are we to look beyond Phuket for city or beach breaks that we by­pass the expert hospitality available on our very door­step.

You don’t really know a place until you have lived there. That’s what they say, anyway. For visitors or those new to Phuket, a lack of local knowl­edge can sometimes lead to serious problems.

A Turkish man walks into an office with an ornamental cat, a coin purse, a torch, a bag of coffee, a compass and a framed picture of a boat… There’s no punchline. That’s what happened last week at The Phuket News.

Whether you call Phuket home or are a first-time visitor, our beaches are a prime visit-and-repeat at­traction. They are a great place for kids to swim, play on the sand or just relax with the family.

Blazing Saddles: Cycling to 70
Sunday 20 January 2019, 03:00PM
I have in my hand a slightly dog-eared, black and white photo of a smiling three-year-old me looking optimistically into the camera. I am sitting among blooming flowers in the back garden of the house in which I grew up in the English Midlands. Just out of frame is my first bicycle, red and yellow with a bashed mudguard. It seems that even at this tender age I’d already mas­tered the noble art of riding into things.

Saturday 19 January 2019, 02:00PM
Ocean snorkelling is a staple activity amongst tourists vis­iting Phuket, and for good rea­son. The surrounding waters contain dozens of beautiful islands and reefs, perfect for a beautiful day with the fishes. So, fully-stocked beach bag in hand, you climb aboard the van that will whisk you away to your next Phuket fantasy trip. Beautiful and ex­otic sea life awaits.

My passion for cycling arrived at about the same time as my passion for trout fishing, when I was a slip of a lad of 10 summers or so. I was lucky enough to find myself growing up in a family of keen anglers and spent many happy boyhood hours with my grandfather, father and sundry Scottish uncles trying to entice trout onto the end of a line and subsequently into a frying pan.

As the boat leaves the quay at Yacht Haven Marina you can sense the expectation among my fellow passengers. Sunglasses are down, Samsonite luggage secured, as we are whisked off across the blue waters to what looks like, based on all the promotional images, the remote tropical paradise Robinson Crusoe would have found if he’d been lucky enough to have been shipwrecked on an island owned by Bill Gates, who had employed Philippe Starck as an art director.

Friday 14 December 2018, 12:02PM
A trip to Patong can seem a daunting affair for a less-than-patient and rather cantankerous middle-aged expat. We’ll scoff at the behaviour, deny having been there for months, knowing full well by midnight we’ll be howling in the karaoke bars and heading to the neon underbelly like a moth to the flame.

The magnetic beauty of the oceans and exploration of the mysterious life within has captured the human spirit since the very earliest of times. From the first use of diving bells, which was recorded by the Greek philosopher Aristotle in the 4th century BC, the ocean has hypnotised humans to return from whence we once came.

Bangkok. It’s always a challenge, when you have out-of-towners come to stay, as to where to go and what to visit? You try to give visitors a unique and authentic view of ‘daily life’ in and around the metropolis, so new ideas are always welcome.

The pace and persistent nature of the busy modern world often finds us seeking a haven to unwind in those precious days off or weekends. The term ‘haven’ derives from the Old Norse word for ‘harbour’, a place where ships find shelter from the storm.

Of the more than 60 islands that make up Singapore, Pulau Ubin is said to be among the most cherished by Singaporeans. Unlike other major islands of the city-state, it is still home to thriving nature and a small number of people who continue to live the rural lifestyle that reminds visitors of what much of the republic was like half a century ago.

The so-called Green Season is upon us in Phuket, a marketer’s name for the rainy season if ever I heard one! Do those marketing Johnnies really think that by not mentioning the dreaded words “rainy, monsoon, wet” and so on that they can fool everyone into believing that we don’t get just the occasional drenching at this time of year?
