The Red Shirts in Bangkok: The Faces of Day Three
Day three of the Red Shirts in Bangkok…
Ok, today is even more rushed than yesterday as I have company arriving any second soon. Yikes.
So here they are, the faces of day three…
Ok, my guests just walked in (they are watching me type this actually) so time to go!
EDIT: If you want to get minute-by-minute updates, [...]
The Red Shirts in Bangkok: The Faces of Day Two
Day two of the Red Shirts in Bangkok…
Well. Well. I’ve had a huge splash of visitors in the past several hours. Welcome to WLT everyone.
To those coming in new, I am not a journalist. Or even a proper photographer. I’m just an expat in Bangkok who happens to have a camera. Or three.
And while [...]
A Toad Trip: Friendly Frogs Draw Tourists to Temple
Wats are full of turkeys and frogs, and sometimes storks too…
If you are an animal lover, one of the first things you notice in Thailand are the decaying dogs laying around scenic Wats.
Their scabby bodies make my heart hurt. Yours too?
Disregarding the sickly canine and healthy cats – why is that? – Wats are [...]
Tiger Temple Interview: Dr Somchai
David does the Tiger Temple…
I could start this post off with something all dramatic like, ‘Temple Tiger Eats East End Expat!’.

Happy New Ears to You too Prudential
Prudential is all ears in Bangkok…
In your taxi treks around Bangkok, have you come across the Prudential ears marketing campaign? Ever?
I have (obviously).
And before this goes any further, I have a confession to make.
Not knowing how to tackle the mystery, but still wanting to know why, I sent the photo (left) to a guy [...]
Loi Krathong Song Lyrics
The Loi Krathong song in Thai…
My Thai teacher just loves to sing. And sometimes, right there in the middle of a lesson, she will stand up and belt out a Thai song.
Often, she will drag me up too. Then, swinging her arms like a conductor, we prance around my sofa. In unison. Singing loud.

Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations Thailand on YouTube
Anthony Bourdain makes it to YouTube…
Exactly one week ago I wrote the post, Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations: Thai Episode, lamenting that his cooking show wasn’t going to be viewed on available channels in Thailand. Available to me anyway.
But here we are already… on YouTube…
Enjoy…
Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations: Thai Episode
Anthony Bourdain has no reservations…
Yesterday, America’s Travel Channel kindly contacted me about Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations episode shot here in Thailand.
The culture of Thailand incorporates a great deal of influence from India, China, Cambodia, and the rest of Southeast Asia, and Thai cuisine blends five fundamental flavors: sweet, spicy, sour, bitter and salty.
