Politics is a serious topic and the situation in Bangkok isn’t getting any better soon. I wonder everyday how it will all end, will there be bloodshed? Will this end in civil law? Will the protestors get tired and disperse? (I doubt it) Will the government step down? (I don’t think they will either) When…

Yesterday was Children’s day. Entire families were out en masse watching airplanes, dancing, singing and having quality family time. Shops and restaurants were filled and everywhere there was a queue. You’d think food was being given out for free. Tomorrow, it’s the Bangkok Shutdown. Literally. Major roads and intersections will be filled protestors, protesting against…

Tomorrow has been set as the D-day that Thais will walk out on the streets of Bangkok and protest against corruption and misuse of power by the current government. Still many are asking, why are you protesting when the government has already abandoned the controversial amnesty bill? Isn’t it enough? Protesting a democratically elected government…

It’s politics today. It kept me up last night and to sleep I had to get this out of my system, so here goes. I’m not a red shirt, I’m not a yellow shirt. I don’t think the Prime Minister or her government is stupid. In fact, I think they are smart and know exactly…

It has been awhile since I’ve last written. It’s been a long while. I don’t even remember the date or the last time I sat at my laptop typing away. It’s been that long. I’ve missed it. Life as it is, has decided that this year would be the year to teach us about life…

I’m in a contemplative mood. The last few weeks I’ve been thinking a lot about “time” and “life”. After being in Laos twice in the past month, you can’t help but notice how “time” there seems to move at a slower pace than that of hectic Bangkok with its buzzling streets and traffic jams. “Life”…

I love dogs and if you’ve ever talked to me about dogs you’ll probably think I’m a little crazy. Now with James, a labrador, and Zoey, a Thai dog, I could spend hours talking about them. I have pictures and video clips of them on my phone and my eyes start to smile just thinking…

I’m waiting for my ride to pick me up for lunch today and even though I am next to a polluted street, with car and bus exhaust fumes blowing in my face, noise pollution hitting my ear drums, amidst all this chaos and gloom I am relaxing to the sound of music played from a…
