Not going to lie – I still love a good guidebook. Especially when it’s coming from a creative angle or written by people I know in IRL. Both of which are true for the books covering Bangkok below.  Especially when it comes to such a big, multi-layered destination as Bangkok, I go straight to a […]

Michelin-starred restaurants, shopping malls with massive food courts, street stalls galore. You often hear about how great the food scene is in Bangkok but the first several times I visited Bangkok I was completely clueless about where to eat. There is food EVERYWHERE. There are THOUSANDS of restaurants. How do you even begin to narrow it […]

Bangkok is hands down one of the best places I’ve been for staying in beautiful boutique hotels and getting a ton of value for your money. The design, service and decor of a lot of boutique hotels in Bangkok rival those of any other major world city – but are often cheaper. Really – it’s […]

When I was writing my ‘how to order in Thailand‘ post, a lot of questions came up about how to order safely for certain dietary restrictions, mainly regarding gluten and peanut sensitivities or allergies. Personally, I will try anything and everything when I’m traveling and don’t have any food allergies or restrictions. I tend to […]

2016 was kind of a strange travel year for me. I probably traveled the least out of the past several years, but when I did, I made it count by staying in some truly incredible places and traveling with friends and family, instead of solo, as much as I could. Here’s some a snapshot of my […]

I’ll let you in on a little secret…there are a lot more Thai dishes than phad thai, fried rice and green curry. Really. Those are all great options, and I still eat my fair share of them, but if you visit Thailand and only stick to these “safe” staples that most people seem to be […]

Oh The Mustang Nero Hotel, you are so strange. And I love every bit of you. Continuing my affinity with boutique hotels in Bangkok, I stayed at a small, 8-room place that’s only able to be booked through Air BnB (create an account here and get $30 (950 baht) in credit!). If you like giant […]

The more I go to Bangkok the more I’m convinced it’s one of the best places in the world for boutique hotels and luxury accommodation. There is such a range of options in the city that you can easily find something to fit your personal style or location preference. Plus, the value for price that luxury hotels […]

“It’s called Bangkok, not Bangcunt, honey.” – Ladyboy from The Hangover II Though not quite relating to the quote above, I found myself in Bangkok last month with a funny bit of time between meetings. You know what it’s like like when you don’t have enough time to go back to your hotel but have too […]

The first time I ever went to Bangkok, I stayed in a white jail cell of a room off of Khao San Road. I had been dropped off on the side of the road at 4:00 a.m. and didn’t have a place to stay, so wandered around a little and got a room at the first guest […]
