» Only a short drive from bustling Phuket, Phangnga is a modest destination packed with rustic charm. On neglected land, bricks are partly buried under thick moss and tree leaves, obviously part of the walls and foundation of a small building that once stood here in Thung Tuk on Kho Khao island in the Takua Pa district of Phangnga Province.

» Chengdu Shu Brocade and Embroidery Museum showcases the best brocades in China. Guide Yan Hua walked me into a room where two people were busy working on a loom. It is no ordinary loom. The greater draw loom is 6m long, 5m high and 1.5m wide. A man working on the loom concentrated hard as he pulled the harnesses. A woman at the base of the machine inserted shuttles and beat the weft threads.

» After an afternoon of roaming the bustling back lanes of Kunming, capital of China's Yunnan province, I was relieved to come across a bench next to some flower beds. Grateful for an opportunity to take the weight off my feet, I sat there contentedly, shortly before dusk, observing the congestion as hundreds of motorcycles, electric scooters, buses and cars crawled past, the noise level suggesting that all the drivers were leaning on their horns at the same time.
Turning full circle

» Khun Yuam is a sleepy amphur in Mae Hong Son province that hasn't seen a great deal of excitement since the end of World War II. Right on the border with Myanmar's Shan State is the hamlet of Ban Huay Ton Noon. From there it's only 30km inland to the district capital, also called Khun Yuam, and this was the same route taken for centuries by invading armies, loggers, seasonal farm labourers and merchants carrying goods back and forth on carts drawn by teams of oxen.
