Jamie’s Phuket: A visit to Doi Thepnimit temple
Saturday 17 August 2019, 10:00AM
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.

Wednesday 7 August 2019, 10:34AM
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.

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.

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
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.

Journey of a lifetime: Turkey’s most-travelled man is putting Phuket on the map
Monday 25 February 2019, 02:00PM
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.

Staying afloat: children and cheap ‘floaties’ just don’t mix
Saturday 16 February 2019, 02:00PM
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
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.

Snorkelling: safe or dangerous? It’s up to you
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.

Bicycling with an Angle: The great outdoors with two wheels and a collapsible rod
Sunday 6 January 2019, 02:00PM
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.
