Suzy and I have always enjoyed Thai foods and to be able to prepare them properly would be an absolute delight. I had found Chef Sompon’s school strictly by chance; while back home I had rented his Thai cooking video on Netflix and fully enjoyed it. We had no idea that the video itself was all about his Thai Cookery…read more →
Suzy and I arrived in Chiang Mai a few days early so we could dig in, get situated and be ready for our culinary adventures at the Thai Cookery School. We checked into the Thannatee Boutique Hotel. This hotel was a true find. Everywhere you look you’ll find antiques, interesting items dated in the 1900’s, Fish ponds, Waterfalls and greenery…read more →
Suzy and I boarded the Ferry at Koh Phi Phi Island for a 3 hour trip to Phuket on the mainland. After making our way around the island and out to sea, it was easy to see that this trip was going to be a rough one. The waves were high, about 6+ feet and the ferry, very unforgiving of…read more →
Suzy and I arrived Koh Phi Phi via ferry and as we approached, we knew this island was something special. You’ll find beautifully blue water and silky white sand beaches against a backdrop of huge stone faced mountains and greenery abound. We stayed at PP Nice Hotel; it’s not really a hotel, but a string of beach bungalows just 50…read more →

Many passengers were not happy as this ferry ride was almost 3 hours long and the seas seemed…read more →
Suzy and I boarded a night train in Hua Hin bound for Surat Thani, a 9 hour trip South from Hua Hin. We figured that the train would be better than riding in a bus for 10 hours and the train offered air conditioning and sleeping facilities. As it turned out, this was a great choice. The train pulled into…read more →
After our Bangkok adventure Suzy and I decided to turn it down a notch and do some relaxing. Hua Hin seemed to be the perfect fit, it’s 125 miles South of Bangkok so getting there would be quick and it has the reputation for being quite beautiful. Because of this, Hua Hin has been a top resort area for more…read more →

Suzy and I left Venice on a 3 hour flight to Moscow via Aeroflot, Russia’s best Airline. We had a 2 hour layover before connecting to a 9 hour flight to Bangkok. We decided that after the events of Malaysia’s flight 370, using Aeroflot was our best option. We boarded our flight but after about 45 minutes, it was certain…read more →
