Life, Pongpet Mekloy, Published on 19/11/2015
» The mighty Mekong marks the border between Thailand's northeastern region and Laos. With the second Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge providing a land link since 2006, the town of Mukdahan has served as a convenient gateway from Thailand to the Lao town of Savannakhet on the other side of the river.

Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 23/10/2015
» You don't have to treat your hotel as just a holiday crash pad. Getting away can instead be used as time to take it easy, enjoy your surroundings, watch the sunset and, y'know, chill. If you are looking for seaside serenity, two Bandara properties on Phuket's Ao-Yon bay will do the trick. Bandara Resort, Phuket consists of two properties -- Bandara Villas, Phuket and Bandara Beach, Phuket -- each a short walk from the other.

» One may visit Satun for the famous Koh Tarutao and its vicinities. Crystal clear water, white sandy beaches and unbeatable marine biology are the major magnets that lure travellers to the southern province, 982km from Bangkok.
Peace in Phangnga
Life, Peerawat Jariyasombat, Published on 27/08/2015
» 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.
Pedalling in a misty wonderland
Life, Pongpet Mekloy, Published on 25/06/2015
» Similan and Phi Phi islands, the karst formations of Phangnga Bay, the beaches of Khao Lak, the old town of Takua Pa — these are just some of Phangnga's many popular tourist attractions. But the southern province still holds many lesser known, and surprising, gems. Today let's explore one of them together by bike.
Rough terrain
Life, Pongpet Mekloy, Published on 18/06/2015
» Khao Lampi – Hat Thai Muang National Park of Phangnga province is so named because it covers two separate areas, Thai Muang beach on the coastline and Lampi mountain further inland on the other side of Highway 4. Our destination today is the park's western part, which is basically a huge sand dune that extends northward from near the town of Thai Muang to a hill called Khao Na Yak.

Krabi's hidden wonder
Life, Pichaya Svasti, Published on 07/04/2015
» Krabi's reputation as a tourist destination on the Andaman coast needs no promotion. But apart from its famous beaches and islands, the province has several important archaeological sites, including the oldest site in Thailand and Asia, the Lang Rongrien Rockshelter. A recent Fine Arts Department trip to Krabi revealed the significance of these archaeological sites as well as man's impact on them.
Nok-ing on Krabi's door
Life, Pongpet Mekloy, Published on 19/03/2015
» Unlike most urban areas in the Kingdom, the 143-year-old town of Krabi was not built on flat ground. It's one of the places I've long wanted to explore on two wheels, but have never actually been able to do. The idea of spending an entire tiring day on the long, straight stretches of the southbound Phet Kasem Highway always dampens my enthusiasm. So when a friend at Nok Air recently asked if I would like to join a bike event the airline was organising in Krabi, I did not hesitate to say yes.
