Beyond the beaches and bars
Real life in Thailand, and some of the surrounding countries.

I’ve travelled the world
I’m not rich, I just got the ‘right’ jobs. One of the companies I worked for employed Filipinos. I made some good friends… they invited me to their homes. And so my relationship with Asia began.

Nine Emperor Gods Festival
The Nine Emperor Gods festival is celebrated throughout Southeast Asia at the start of the ninth lunar month of the Chinese calendar.
In Thailand, it’s celebrated as the Vegetarian Festival. In some parts of Southern Thailand, unusual religious rituals are performed, and exciting parades take place… not for the faint-hearted, though.
