I am now back from my third trip to Thailand. Every time it has been on invitation from Tourism Authority of Thailand, twice from the New Delhi office. After UK, Thailand is now my most visited country. And Bangkok is the only city where I look forward to do some shopping, the prices are so…

Thongsomboon Club
I have a slightly unusual picture for sky watch today. What you see was an ATV Track! Now I am not a big fan of ATV bikes. But then again, if I come across an activity I usually end up doing it! This was no exception. This was Thongsomboon Club in the Khaoyai Region of…
Shopping in Thailand
I am one of those people who firmly believe in that when you don’t shop at 50% off, you save 100% of the money. I can’t think when I last wrote, if ever, about shopping on this blog. But this recent trip to Thailand changed my views a bit. In fact before heading out my…
Haew Suwat Waterfall, Thailand

Amazing Thailand!

Loi Krathong Festival
To me Loi Krathong festival looked like a festival of light and water. Like many other things in Asia there are many versions of what the festival means and how it started. One version is that it was started in the region of Sukhothai by a court lady called Nopphamat. Another version puts it as a…
Thailand Cambodia Trip- In Pictures
I visited Thailand and Cambodia in September 2013. It was a memorable trip. I was there on invitation from Tourism Authority of Thailand. It was my first Thailand Cambodia trip. It was also my first experience of visa on arrival which went without a hitch at Bangkok! Tourism Authority of Thailand was quite gracious as…
Rafting at Nakhon Nayok, Thailand
One of the fun things we did in Thailand was rafting at Nakhon Nayok. I have been on rafting trips before in India so I knew what to expect. There is a dam on the Nahon Nayok River which was the idea of the current King of Thailand known as Rama IX. The King of…
