BKK Airport Intro (an ASK THE PILOT video from Patrick Smith)

TC Kitchen, Ubon Ratchathani Thailand

TC Kitchen is easy to locate as it is right near Laithong Hotel, it is in the background. TC Kitchen is a restaurant but you can also of course get an ice cold beverage as well. Most foreigners spend their time sitting out the front chatting and watching Ubon life go by. Inside there is a pool table if you are up for a game

Bangkok on the Fly, Thailand.

The other day I had to make a quick journey down to Bangkok to visit the Australian Embassy to renew my passport. It was a flying visit, arriving in Bangkok at 7am and leaving at 7pm and arriving back in Ubon Ratchathani at 8pm. Now I have to step back a little here

A New Door, A New Journey, Isaan Style.

I said I wanted to keep my personal life just that, personal. But I was a little shocked again when I spoke to my new partner about my ideas for Isaan Style. I had sat down with her and showed her what I had been doing the past 5 or so years on Isaan Style.

Nong Ja and Magha Puja Day Thailand 2012

The other day we had a Thai religious holiday called Magha Puja Day (Makha Bucha Day) and I have written about it before here and here . Our local temple, Nong Bua Temple always has a big celebration.

Morning Alms Offering to 8,000 Monks in Bangkok

During March 2012, there will be a series of six alms giving ceremonies around Bangkok involving an estimated total of 100,000 monks. The purpose is to celebrate the 2,600th anniversary of the Lord Buddha’s Enlightenment Day. The first event took place early this morning, 10th March 2012 along Phahonyothin road near Ying Charoen Market.

Nong Ja and Trakan Tiger Zoo Ubon Ratchathani Thailand.

The other day my little princess Nong Ja and I ventured to the Trakan Tiger Zoo around 35klms out of Ubon Ratchathani. I had never been to the zoo but had read many different opinions on it. Ja was very excited and wanted to get straight to the tigers. I had no idea on the layout on the zoo so we followed one of the tracks.

Sam Pan Bok

Billed as Thailand’s Grand Canyon by those honest people at the Tourist Authority of Thailand (TAT), if you go with this in mind you most likely will be disappointed, however you just want to go to a dried river bed to visit an unusual rock set in some spectacular scenery this could be a highlight of your visit. Literally meaning 3000 holes, Sam Pan Bok is a lunar landscape covered by the a river for three quarters of the year, but in the sweltering heat of the hot season the H20 will retreat to cooler climbs leaving the river bed exposed. When exactly that is the local TAT office in Ubon gets regular water level reports and are happy to inform. I’d been meaning to visit this place for a long time and after a few cancellations due to this year’s flooding keeping the water levels unusually high found time to go in February
