‘Mai Khao As One’ unites for a cleaner coastline
‘Mai Khao As One’ unites for a cleaner coastline
Sunday 7 June 2026 12:15 PM
Walk along Mai Khao Beach early in the morning and you’ll understand why it’s special. At roughly 11 kilometers, the relatively undeveloped shoreline of Phuket’s longest beach provides critical habitat for marine life – including nesting sites for endangered sea turtles that return to lay eggs along the sand each year.
At Sixty, I Travel for Discomfort
At Sixty, I Travel for Discomfort
Sunday 31 May 2026 02:00 PM
Within the span of a few weeks, my life quietly divided itself into before and after: my father died, and then I turned sixty. One event reminded me how long a life can be. The other reminded me it isn’t unlimited.

Devilish sequel entertains but doesn’t match original

Back in 2006 a film was released that surprised everybody. The Devil Wears Prada was one of those films that even the studio wasn’t expecting big things from. But for some reason it became an overnight success. So what was its secret? Was it the female empowerment storyline? Was it the fashion? Or was it the amazing performances of Emily Blunt, Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep?

Travels with Basil
Travels with Basil
Sunday 24 May 2026 12:00 PM
I had the idea on a morning that had no business being as clear as it actually was. Aged 77, I am unsurprised when a certain fog settles over my mornings – over memory and purpose for example – but that day the light over Phuket was sharp as a blade and Basil, my Jack Russell terrier, was already pacing the bedroom, like an impatient admiral.
Crime Busters With Zimmer Frames
Crime Busters With Zimmer Frames
Saturday 23 May 2026 01:00 PM
OK, so I admit to being easily amused, as well as famously pedantic. I enjoy imagining how veteran crime fiction authors must struggle to keep older, best-selling central characters active and virile enough to continue battering baddies when they are of a seniority associated with retirement homes. That it happens a lot might illustrate how frequently authors fail to envisage their central characters still dodging lead and slinging punches forty years after their crime fiction debuts.

When tech giants locked in cut-throat competition don’t release their latest products, and governments bent on AI supremacy pivot from breakneck acceleration to regulation, you know something momentous is happening.

Your Air Conditioner Could Save a Bird’s Life
Your Air Conditioner Could Save a Bird’s Life
Saturday 9 May 2026 01:00 PM
Birds are not decorative extras in the urban frame. They are part of the mechanism that keeps urban nature functioning, helping hold the balance between insects, seeds, pollination and the fragile web of biodiversity that still survives between roads, towers and heat-soaked concrete. In Thailand, where extreme urban heat is becoming a sharper public issue, that warning suddenly feels urgent, not theoretical.
Korea Beyond Seoul: Places That Redefine What “Popular” Should Mean
Friday 8 May 2026 03:27 PM
Is popularity in travel just a numbers game, or should it be about the soul of a place? Seoul undoubtedly dazzles with its neon lights and endless energy, but it barely scratches the surface of what Korea truly offers. Beyond the capital are places full of quiet beauty, deep traditions, and stories yet to be told.

Latest ‘The Mummy’ offering is savagely brilliant
Saturday 2 May 2026 02:00 PM
If you don’t like horrific and brutal horror films then stop reading right now because Lee Cronin’s The Mummy is not the film for you. I’ve seen some pretty confronting horror films over the years, some so full-on they have never become general releases in cinema, but I have to admit that I have rarely seen a horror film that has had me looking away from the screen as often as this film did.

Sunday 26 April 2026 12:00 PM
Here in Phuket there are some great places to experience the natural world, some well known and others not so. Not only the national parks, mangroves and jungle areas, there are so many beaches, islands, coves and bays all teeming with life. Yes, we all know the main tourists locations that we see advertised everywhere, such as Maya Bay, James Bond Island, Pileh Lagoon and the Similan Islands, and yes, these are well known and part of the must see, bucket list places when in Phuket.

So you want to write a book...
Sunday 12 April 2026 12:00 PM
They say everyone has a book in them, and to add perspective to the claim, consider this: on Amazon alone, so-called independent authors account for almost four thousand new self-published books every day.
