The 6 am advantage: Rewriting the rules of Phuket’s boat tours
Monday 13 July 2026 12:40 PM
Simba Sea Trips has built one of Phuket’s most consistently five-star tour operations by running its boats on the same standards its owner once flew by: checklists, briefings, and zero tolerance for “good enough.”

Phang Nga Bay without the crowds: Why timing Is everything
Monday 13 July 2026 12:39 PM
While Phi Phi draws day-trippers from every operator on the island, Simba Sea Trips built its Phang Nga Bay route around the one thing that actually changes the experience: the time you arrive.

What a private charter from Boat Lagoon actually looks Like. Simba Sea Trips runs the same crew and safety standards on its private charters as its group tours. The only real difference is whose day it is.
Two brands, one standard

The sister operation behind Phuket's highest-rated boat tours. Two Sea Tour and Simba Sea Trips share a marina base, a TAT license and a safety culture — and for guests, that's precisely the point.
When road trips go everywhere except according to plan
When road trips go everywhere except according to plan
Sunday 28 June 2026 02:00 PM
After a year of rugged travel, I made a suggestion to Patrick. “Let’s do an easy trip.” My definition of easy was a leisurely three-week road trip through Central America. We would start in Panajachel on Guatemala’s Lake Atitlán and meander through six countries before finishing in Panama City. One car. One driver. Colonial towns, volcanoes, national parks.
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.

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.
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.

Algeria: Where the Sahara Steals the Show
Algeria: Where the Sahara Steals the Show
Sunday 29 March 2026 02:00 PM
Algeria has a way of sneaking up on you. It doesn’t announce itself with hype or Instagram bravado. Instead, it waits patiently until you arrive, then quietly rearranges your expectations of what travel – and the desert – can be.
Cycling with Downward Facing Dogs
Cycling with Downward Facing Dogs
Sunday 8 March 2026 12:30 PM
The first thing you learn about a road trip with a bicycle, two Jack Russell terriers and a yoga mat is that your dignity must be packed very lightly. My car space was already at a premium – add to this, yoga kit, dog beds, chewy toys, spare inner tubes and a faint but persistent smell of wet fur and my car became less a mode of transport than a rolling menagerie.
How AI Led Me Astray in Two Countries (and Surprised Me in a Third)
How AI Led Me Astray in Two Countries (and Surprised Me in a Third)
Sunday 1 March 2026 02:00 PM
We hear endlessly about how artificial intelligence is transforming everything. As a frequent traveler and a willing guinea pig, I decided to put AI to a practical test: Could I rely on it to plan complex travel in places I’d never been? Could it replace the hours I normally spend piecing together information from blogs, forums, reviews, and guidebooks?
The rewards of ignoring travel warnings
The rewards of ignoring travel warnings
Sunday 1 February 2026 02:00 PM
There’s a certain anxiety in booking a ticket to a destination that your government insists you absolutely should not visit. For some people, that red-letter advisory triggers alarm bells. For me, it’s more of a polite suggestion – like “limit yourself to one dessert.” A challenge, really.
One New Year’s Resolution That Can Transform Your Life
One New Year’s Resolution That Can Transform Your Life
Sunday 4 January 2026 02:00 PM
Every year as the calendar resets, many engage in the same global ritual: the New Year’s resolution. We pledge to exercise more, drink less, eat better, sleep earlier, declutter and finally become who we want to be. And by February, most of these promises quietly disappear.

From Thailand to Poland: Planning Your trip to Auschwitz
Monday 15 December 2025 06:08 PM
Auschwitz-Birkenau stands as one of humanity's most significant memorial sites - a UNESCO World Heritage location that bears witness to the darkest chapter of the 20th century. For you as a Thai traveler, visiting this place offers more than historical education; it's a profound journey into understanding human rights, tolerance, and the importance of remembering past atrocities to prevent future ones.
A luxury, beachside getaway under canvas guaranteed to impress
A luxury, beachside getaway under canvas guaranteed to impress
Saturday 9 August 2025 11:49 AM
Camping has always been a somewhat divisive subject. For some, the idea of pitching up an often flimsy fabric structure in a random location and making it a temporary home for a period of time is joyous – the freedom it offers, the ability to be immersed in nature and the great outdoors is valued as a wonderous thing.
Beyond the Typical: Discover Spain's Cultural Diversity
Beyond the Typical: Discover Spain's Cultural Diversity
Friday 8 August 2025 04:10 AM
When you think of Spain, a few things might come to your mind: flamenco, paella, sangria, long beaches, and great music. Even though none of this is wrong, it’s a bit of a superficial way to describe it – kind of like describing the U.S. as a combination of hot dogs and cowboy boots. In reality, this is much more to Spain – its culture is layered, complex, and deeply diverse. If you’re only scratching the surface, you might be missing all the good stuff.

Pedal Power: Eleven Countries, Two Legs, One Wild Ride for Phuket
Saturday 12 July 2025 11:00 AM
Most people cross Europe at 30,000 feet with a gin and tonic in hand. I, on the other hand, thought it’d be a great idea to do it on a bicycle.
