PHUKET XTRA: VIDEO: Underpass almost done? Gates of hell! BBC Phuket || August 23

We reached Khao Sok National Park on a rain-sodden green season day after heading north across the Sarasin Bridge, then up coastal Highway 4 to Takuapa, then east on the 401 across the Isthmus of Kra towards Surat Thani.

Blazing Saddles: Rock around the clock at Khao Sok!

The Phuket Botanic Garden opened in 2012 and for a while, I was reluctant to visit obvious tourist attractions (call me a cynic). I mean… we have plenty of plants in our garden and we don’t have to pay to see them!

Jamie's Phuket: Spellbinding views from the black rock

Phuket Life / Travel

Sunday 16 July 2017, 10:00AM

There’s always something new to find in the Andaman area. Just about a year ago we found a newly opened viewpoint in Phang Nga, not far from Phuket, called Samet Nangshe – and it was quite a find, hardly known a year ago, it has now appeared on quite a few tour itineraries and websites.

Surf Thailand: Seeking fresh surf in Khao Lak

Phuket Life / Travel

Saturday 8 July 2017, 10:00AM

A good road trip once in awhile is a great way to get away from it all. It is exciting to break off from the normal routine, explore unfamiliar territory, and discover new sights and sounds.

Saturday 1 July 2017, 02:00PM

Perched on a small headland at the southernmost tip of Kamala Beach lies a boutique hotel called Kamala Beach Estate. It’s ideal location offers a quiet and peaceful stay with spectacular views of the sunsets over the Andaman Sea.

Blazing Saddles: Racha islands offer great bike trails and wildlife spotting

Phuket Life / Travel

Sunday 25 June 2017, 01:00PM

The Racha islands, situated 20 kilometres south of Phuket, are better known for scuba diving than cycling, but I decided to head over there anyway with my mountain bike to see what I could find. I was very glad that I did!

Jamie's Phuket: The emerald pools and temple views of Krabi

Phuket Life / Travel

Saturday 17 June 2017, 02:00PM

Krabi Town is just 60 kilometres across the bay from Phuket Town, but more like 160km, or maybe a little more, by road. But for this trip we left home early and were driving over the bridge from Phuket at 8:30am, and by 10am, we were getting close to Krabi Town.

Five ways to walk Hong Kong's cultural and historical heart

Saturday 10 June 2017, 10:00AM

Beneath the stunning skyline of Hong Kong’s Central Old Town, history, arts, food and culture flourish in one of the city’s oldest and most archetypal neighbourhoods.

Blazing Saddles: The Village People

Phuket Life / Travel

Saturday 27 May 2017, 01:00PM

The concept of “escape” from Phuket seems to occupy people’s minds more and more these days. Talking to fellow cyclists and other residents, particularly those with families, the need to find a sanctuary away from the island’s everyday hassles, stress and traffic is constantly mentioned.

Singapore’s shining example

Phuket Life / Travel

Tuesday 25 April 2017, 04:46PM

For obvious reasons Thailand’s tourism marketers are only too keen to jump aboard the burgeoning global passion for all things cycling related. While avidly trumpeting Phuket’s cycle-friendly environment (did I recently read the clichéd phrase “cyclists’ paradise” in this context?) most of the claims at present are little more than commercial hype. The brutal reality is that Phuket remains one of the most dangerous places you could choose to ride a bike and a sad litany of cycling accidents bare grim testament to this.

The heart of Japan: From Osaka to Kyoto, discovering Japan’s hidden gems

Phuket Life / Travel

Sunday 23 April 2017, 02:00PM

The Kansai region is known as the cultural and historical heart of Japan. Located on Honshu, the largest island in Japan, the region encompasses Osaka and the ancient capital Kyoto. With great architecture, cuisine, an abundance of natural beauty, and unique world-class attractions, it offers endless opportunities for exploration and discovery.

Carry-on electronics ban could expand

Phuket Life / Travel

Monday 17 April 2017, 09:37AM

Last month, the US banned passengers on direct flights to the United States from 10 airports in eight countries from carrying on board laptop computers, tablets and other electronic devices larger than cellphones. The affected airports are in Turkey, North Africa and the Middle East. The UK followed with a similar ban applying to incoming flights from six Middle East and North African countries. The ban was the result of information seized during a US raid on Al Qaeda in Yemen in January.

Blazing Saddles: More Bang Tao for your buck

Phuket Life / Travel

Sunday 2 April 2017, 09:00AM

Quiet corners of our increasingly frenetic island are often sought by the gadabout lycra lout for some gentle, meditative pedalling amidst lovely scenery, with the opportunity for a cold beachside drink at the sunset end of the ride. One area of Phuket that still offers these charms is the hinterland of Bang Tao Beach.

Bhutan: A kingdom in the clouds

Phuket Life / Travel

Sunday 26 March 2017, 10:00AM

The opportunity to visit Bhutan is rare and tantalising prospect, the Himalayan kingdom still remains somewhat mysterious to outsiders, it is perhaps best known for measuring its prosperity in Gross National Happiness rather than in economic terms.

Jamie's Phuket: A visit to sleepy Koh Siray

Phuket Life / Travel

Saturday 25 March 2017, 04:00AM

Koh Siray (sometimes spelt Siray or even Si Ray) is a rather forgotten corner of Phuket, located to the east of Phuket Town, over a small bridge past the Rassada Ferry Terminal – where you can get the ferry to Phi Phi and Krabi.

Nai Yang by bike

Phuket Life / Travel

Saturday 25 February 2017, 02:00PM

Few are the major international novels that have been set in Phuket, an exception being “Catching the Sun” by the well-known English writer Tony Parsons. Parsons has built himself a major following by writing, to my eye at least, rather maudlin, over-analytical books about that great preoccupation of the British chattering classes – relationships.

Cruising on the Mekong River through the ancient wonders of Laos

Phuket Life / Travel

Sunday 29 January 2017, 02:00PM

River boat cruises are such a convenient and comfortable way to travel. My journey this trip would take me to the Mekong basin, an area which has held a special fascination for me.

A sky high cycling adventure

Phuket Life / Travel

Sunday 22 January 2017, 10:00AM

It’s the day after Christmas and bulging with turkey and Christmas pud, I find myself sitting in a one-man tent on top of an exposed mountain summit watching a malevolent cluster of black clouds approach across Phang Nga Bay.

Phuket Life / Travel

Sunday 8 January 2017, 12:00PM

Andaman Cruises is a traditional participant at PIMEX. Prior to the show we set down with the company's general manager Christian Schwind to talk about Andaman cruising grounds.

Koh Yao Noi resort Ani Villas is cultivating new ground in hospitality

Phuket Life / Travel

Friday 30 December 2016, 10:00AM

When Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul tweeted news about the surprise celebration vacation he’d planned for his wife’s 30th birthday in early December, the American celebrity media couldn’t post their own follow-up stories fast enough.

A gourmet rail journey on Kyushu's Orange line

Phuket Life / Travel

Thursday 3 November 2016, 08:00AM

I’d heard a lot about the Hisatsu Orange Railway in Kyushu (Japan’s third largest island) and I was really looking forward to a unique, world-class experience. I knew that the train was often fully booked, sometimes a year in advance, and reservations for the small but popular railway along Japan’s Kyushu West Coast were extremely difficult to come by. A good sign that this was truly a great railway journey in the making. Ja
