Exploring islands less known
Life, Karnjana Karnjanatawe, Published on 22/04/2021

» After spending a couple of late morning hours exploring Photharam on my foldable e-bicycle, I found myself on an islet on the Mae Klong River that runs past the west side of the business district of this old town in Ratchaburi province. The seafood phad kaphrao and rice I had bought for breakfast but didn't have time to eat still looked tempting. With the cool tree shade, the refreshing river breeze and the tranquil natural surrounding, it was a splendid lunch.

Seen in the background of the rice field is the large and green Khao Luang Mountain. It stands elegantly under a partly gloomy sky in Sukhothai province.

A sense of peace
Guru, Nianne-Lynn Hendricks, Published on 11/09/2020
» Since my last vacay was at Amandari in Bali, it seemed fitting that the first holiday I took post-lockdown should be at Amanpuri in Phuket. Though this wasn't my first time at the resort, it certainly felt like it!
