In today's vlog from Koh Samui, Thailand, I share my experiences after nearly a week on the island during my round-the-world trip. I rent a scooter to explore beautiful beaches, visit impressive temples, find a secret waterfall, and enjoy sunset views, all while navigating challenging roads. Enjoy the adventure!

$100 and 48 Hours in Ho Chi Minh City!
Vietnam. The southern city of Ho Chi Minh City is a hub of excitement, a city that buzzes day and night, where motos and bicycles jockey for position on the road wondering where all the cars are at. The former Saigon is really a brilliant city to visit, and folks we only have the weekend …
Travel Memories – Cambodia (Part One)
Hi all! Cambodia has been in my thoughts lately since I outlined my travel itinerary from 2000 when I visited the country. It was a significant country on my travelling journeys, after 14 months at home following my first backpacking adventure in 1999, I could scarcely believe I was off again November 2000 for another …
Little Places – Kampot, Cambodia
Hi all. 'Little Places' today is taking me back to the year 2000. It was November-December and I was on my second ever solo backpacking trip, and first stop was South East Asia. Cambodia was the country to be explored, and I had met up with three random travellers who had connected on the Lonely …
Itineraries – Cambodia
Well. Today, I thought I would look at a possible itinerary for Cambodia. I know a couple of people who have been there recently, and things are a little different these days from when I went there back in the year 2000. For example, there is now a proper road from Siem Repp to the …

These photos are from 2015, I was surprised I hadn't done one earlier for Myanmar which is seriously a beautiful country. Sadly I have none from Yangon nor Pyin oo Lwin, but there are …
Why You Should Go to South East Asia!
Howdy folks! Maybe I should have named this ‘where I would go in South East Asia’… but I am going to try and tailor this post to different tastes so we’ll see how we go. South East Asia is absolutely full of amazing highlights, there’s no denying it, and those highlights come in many forms …
Malaysia – Through My Lens
Happy 'Hump-Day' to all. Today's photographic presentation takes us to Malaysia. Now, I will be the first to admit that many of these photos are not particularly amazing, but Malaysia was the first time I started using a digital camera. An old Canon, can't remember the exact model, but it took photos in an amazing …
First Taste – Pyin Oo Lwin (Myanmar)
It’s been a while since I did a ‘First Taste’ – this is a series of blogs I’ve done on the place I first arrived when I went to a country, also for the first time. So today I’m going back a couple of years to the town which introduced me to Myanmar, the hill-village …
