The Grand Palace Bangkok is a prime tourist attraction. The palace was built in about 1782. However the current king does not reside here, but the palace is used for royal functions. However, in this post I am going to give you the true insight into how I approach history and monuments! If I research…

Amazing Thailand- It Begins with the People
I am extremely hesitant to photograph people. And yet the more I travel, the more I get attracted to clicking portraits of strangers, of people who in a way define what their nation is all about. I visited Thailand in July to attend the Thailand Happiness Street Festival. I made some effort to bring back…
Smiles at Grand Palace, Bangkok
In all my trips to Thailand, I have been to Grand Palace just once. I actually need to do a detailed post about it, rather than this quick one, but that will have to wait as this one is being uploaded from the airport. I am a complete chicken when it comes to photographing people….
Bangkok Skies
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…
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…

Thailand Visa on Arrival for Indian Citizens
Update: One my recent visit (August 2016) I could not find the fast track line anymore. Please keep this in mind while reading the post which was written earlier. Please also look at the online visa option for Thailand, it helps you to go to a separate counter and beat the queue. I have been…
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…
Wat Arun, Bangkok, Thailand
For this lazy Sunday I present the magnificent Wat Arun Temple from Bangkok, Thailand. It is a Buddhist Temple said to be build in 17th century, though the spires are said to be added by King Rama II in early 19th century. Wat actually means temple both in Thailand and Cambodia. Both Thai and Cambodian…
