Riverside reveries
Holiday Time, Gary Boyle, Published on 17/12/2018
» Time travel is possible. You're seated in a beautiful royal teak pavilion lit by vintage bulbs suspended from gilded hong carvings. Traditional Thai music drifts in from outside and, as you sip your butterfly pea and pandan leaf tea, the sun sinks below the horizon and the nightly spectacle of the bustling Chao Phraya River begins.
Dodging the bullet

» One of the best things about travelling in Japan is the fast and convenient Shinkansen. The bullet trains can whisk you from Tokyo to Kyoto in as little as two hours and 20 minutes. Or you could, like 34-year old Gabriel Camelin, a video and photography lecturer at Silpakorn University, do the same trip on your bicycle. The route through the mountains is 570km and can be done, if you're as brave and fit as Gabriel, in just seven days.
