Suzy and I really enjoy Bangkok. We have been here 7 or 8 times in the past two years and every time we come here we try to find another great spot in this vast city to explore. Bangkok spreads out over 605 square miles and has a population of over 8 million people. In comparison, Los Angeles, California is…read more →
Suzy has always been a beach lover and Thailand has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. We heard of Pattaya Beach last year while traveling to Thailand’s small islands and this year we were intent on finding out just what this beach was all about. The word on the street is that Pattaya was a small community…read more →
Last year while Suzy and I were attending culinary school in Chiang Mai, Chef Thanapon told us of a blues bar downtown. Nothing else needed to be said, Suzy and I were always open to an evening of fun and music. The club is in an unlikely place, it sets atop the mezzanine level of the Kalare Night Bazaar.

During the war the bridge was built by Japanese forces in Thailand trying to complete a railway that would connect Burma to Siam (present day Thailand). The…read more →

For those of our followers who followed last year’s Bangkok posting, you’ll remember my talking about walking down a crowded city street and having a guy comes up to you and ask “hey boss, where you from” that typically means that he’s a salesman for a tailor in the area and he wants to sell you a suit. If you’re…read more →
Just West of Pattaya you’ll find the tiny island of Koh Larn. When I say tiny, it is just that, only 2.5 miles long by 1.5 miles wide. A private sanctuary for beach and snorkeling lovers. Thailand has long since been known as having beautiful islands. Last year Suzy and I visited three of these islands. This year we are…read more →
Last year Suzy and I set off with an enrollment reservation at the Thai Cookery School in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I went searching for a comprehensive school and found this one to be the best choice. Last year we spent five days here and lived on campus while studying. The class was so in-depth we were even taken to the…read more →
When in Bangkok, you’ll always find a tourist agency nearby. They offer all sorts of daily interest items from Elephant rides, Temple tours, Dinner and show experiences, the attractions are endless. Suzy and I set out one morning with a hired driver to take us to Kanchanaburi to visit the Tiger Temple. Since the traffic was low that day we…read more →
Last year Suzy and I were told of a Buddhist Monastery that took care of endangered Tigers by our good friend Admiral Red Best. This year we set out to find the Monastery and see just how much truth there was to the story. We found that the temple is real, the Monks are real and the story quite interesting….read more →
