Clint R — Sun, 05 Feb 2023 14:00:00 +0000

The unofficial global beer tour continues with Thailand, the 7th country on our trip. Thailand – like most other nations in Southeast Asia (and indeed, the world) – is dominated by a few large beer brands you’ll find pretty much everywhere. In Thailand, the major players are Chang, Singha, and Leo. (We mainly drank Chang). […]

Traveling at a slower pace often provides the opportunity for some adventures not typical of an average vacationer. Our day trip to the Golden Triangle in Thailand is a good example of such an experience. The Golden Triangle (pictured in the feature image) is a location where the borders of 3 countries – Thailand, Laos, […]

Chiang Rai is the northernmost large city in Thailand, about a 3 hour drive from Chiang Mai and a bit over 2 hours from the country’s borders with Myanmar and Laos.

Street Food in Thailand is Out of Control

Clint R — Sat, 28 Jan 2023 14:00:00 +0000

We mean that in the best possible way. Street Food is found all over the world and is especially prevalent throughout Southeast Asia; however in Thailand it is a way of life. Around every corner, at every market, and at all hours of the day and night, you’ll find vendors selling all kinds of food. […]

Chiang Mai – The City of Temples

Clint R — Thu, 26 Jan 2023 13:00:00 +0000

The province of Chiang Mai is home to over 300 wats (temples), the most of any province in Thailand. No visit to the city, therefore, is truly complete without a visit to as many as you can explore. We dedicated one full day to exclusively visiting Chiang Mai’s temples during our stay, and made several […]

Climbing The Sticky Waterfall in Chiang Mai, Thailand

About an hour and a half moped drive north of Chiang Mai, Thailand, you’ll come across the Bua Tong Waterfall: The claim to fame for this waterfall isn’t the height or water volume, but instead for a unique natural feature. There is an incredibly grippy mineral deposit in the limestone, allowing you to climb straight […]

Khao Soi – The Noodles of Northern Thailand

Clint R — Fri, 20 Jan 2023 13:00:00 +0000

Thailand is well known – with very good reason, we’d say – for its outstanding cuisine. From unbelievable street food to fine dining, and from uniquely-Thai dishes to global foods, you really can not go wrong with any choice of food during a visit. Side note – we’ve had the best Mexican food (outside of […]

One of the most well-known elements of Thailand’s southern Islands are the monthly full moon parties. These take place, as you’d expect, on the night of the full moon. During our visit we traveled to the island of Koh Phangan, and stayed at a hotel right on the most famous full-moon party beach: Haad Rin. […]

Providing a taste of life on the road with this one. This is a short video capturing a 24+ hour long day of traveling through Thailand. Starting in Bangkok in the afternoon, we rode a Tuk Tuk (with our luggage) to the train station: From there, we boarded an overnight train to Surat Thani. We […]

The Neverending Night Markets of Thailand

Clint R — Tue, 10 Jan 2023 13:00:00 +0000

As we’ve said before, Thailand is a country that really comes alive at nighttime. On top of all night parties and city streets packed until dawn, the country is full of incredible street markets that open up at sundown. These cannot be missed. Fortunately, any city you visit in Thailand is bound to have an […]
