People kayaking on Khlong Ong Ang which is the outer most for the grand palace. The BMA has done a really good job of renovating and cleaning this whole area so that activities like this can now take place. Before much of this canal was covered over by a market and the water was basically an open sewer. Now we have this beautiful walking street on the edge of Chinatown.

This is one of my favorite Thai street food snacks. But really I shouldn’t eat too often as it is deep fried. This one is from a food court at Thai Taste Hub in the Mahanakhon CUBE. Lots of great street food here but with quality ingredients. Popular with office workers at lunch time. It’s right next to BTS Chong Nonsi station.

Street art by Headache Stencil in support of same sex marriage in Thailand. He is regarded as Thailand’s answer to Banksy. I found this one on Soi Sukhumwit 56 in Bangkok. There are some more on Soi 58.
Spicy stirfried basil is always one of my favourite #ThaiFood dishes. This one is with duck.

This is Klong Lad Pho flood gates in Phra Pradaeng district of Samut Prakan. There’s been a short cut canal here for hundreds of years, but the canal was widened and flood gates built in 2006 to help alleviate the flood problem in Bangkok. The big loop in this section of the Chao Phraya River is 18km long but the short cut canal is only 600 meters. When the tide goes out, they open the flood gates and instead of the journey taking 5 hours, it’s only ten minutes along the shortcut.

On top of the world. Or the next best thing. On top of Bangkok. The King Power Mahanakhon building has now reopened. At 314 meters high it is the highest publicly accessible rooftop in the capital.

In the cockpit of an Airbus A330neo aircraft that was recently delivered to Thai Lion Air. I was invited to attend a monk blessing ceremony this morning for the aircraft at Don Mueang airport.

A monk gives a traditional Buddhist blessing to two new Airbus A330neo aircraft that were recently delivered to Thai Lion Air. Blessing new vehicles is a Buddhist tradition in Thailand. It is believed to bring the owner good luck and to help avoid misfortune.

This is Benjakitti Forest Park which is Bangkok’s latest green space for the public. It’s not your regular park as there are swamps, lotus ponds and even a sky walk. It’s not officially open yet as they have not finished. But you are allowed to go in for a preview. More photos and information in the Live Photo Blogs section of my website.

I’ve been looking for Mataba for a long time but finally found this vendor in front of the mosque in Paknam. She said she only sells here on Fridays up until about 1pm. I had Mataba with chicken which cost only 30 Baht.

This is Tom Yum soup with chicken. I love this dish. It has lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, and fresh lime juice which are all good for you. It’s also quite spicy and so gets the sinuses moving!

If you have kids interested in dinosaurs, check out the park at the foot of the Paknam Observation Tower. It’s open to the public today as there’s an event nearby. It’s only a five minute walk from BTS Paknam station.

Suan Rot Fai, near Chatuchak Weekend Market, is a great place to rent a bicycle and cycle around the park in safety. Good for families too.

I had a really great time this morning exploring the Golden Triangle area of Chiang Rai in the sidecar of a Royal Enfield motorcycle. There was surprisingly plenty of room for my long legs. This is one of the activities that they offer at the Anantara Golden Triangle Resort.

Have you eaten yet? #ThaiFood #Thailand
My appetizer tonight is the well known bite-sized snack called Miang Kham. The ingredients are roasted coconut, ginger, peanut, shallots, dried shrimp, lime and chili which are all wrapped in fresh betel leaves. The sauce includes shrimp paste. A great #ThaiFood snack.
This morning, I went “walking with giants”. How’s your day going?

I’m in Northern Thailand and so I must have Khao Soi for dinner #ThaiFood #Thailand #ChiangRai
This is where I’m staying tonight in the Jungle Bubble at the Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort in Chiang Rai. They don’t really need much help in promoting it as it’s fully booked most weekends. I was lucky I could stay here tonight.
