I've been in the Central Plains of Thailand the past few weekends and my skin was getting super pale - not from the ever-present whitening creams. Since it's close to Bangkok and it was a long weekend, the beach was bumping with tourists and locals alike, so we were worried we wouldn't find a spot to rest our bones, but luckily there was an open room at Jep's Bungalows. Non was ...

I'm currently living in Thailand, teaching 7th and 9th grade English classes at a government school. In a small city called Suphanburi. I'm currently teachin...

I've been living in Thailand for 10 months now, and I've started to notice some words and phrases that I find myself saying fairly frequently.

I've become more than a bit obsessed with Thai music during the last few months. I admit that it took a while for me to get used to hearing it all the time, everywhere, but I've found some artists that I really enjoy - so when I heard that a lot of them would be performing at an all night music festival. At a military training camp, I could hardly say no. Sunday, August 21, 2011. EP) a...

Time we walk past them. Hang out with Game...

Songkran, or Thailand's New Year celebration, happens every year on April 13-15. When I visited Thailand in 2004 with my brothers we were unaware of this holiday and all that it entailed, so this time I made sure I was armed and ready. So what are the rules for playing Songkran? In my humble opinion. Be prepared. If you go outside, you will get wet. Mai pen rai, don't get mad, ...Be ar...
