Earlier this year, following my spinal surgery, Mos and I decided to leave Chiang Mai and move back down to the island of Koh Tao. Which, as you may remember is where we got married on the 14th March last year. Chiang Mai was amazing and we loved it there, the climate was great, much… Continue reading Back to Koh Tao

Chief of Police
Today I completed one of those manly life goals that I like to call a man-bition. Today I became the owner of a pick-up truck. It's big, it's blue, it has four doors and a big diesel engine. For those of you who are judging me and thinking 'what do you need a big blue… Continue reading Chief of Police
Cleaning a Tuk-Tuk
We've had another busy week. Both Mos and I have both had a birthday, we've been to the cinema, twice. And, we bought a latex plantation. After a quite and relaxed day at home, apart from a trip to the cinema, for my birthday, we started to get our stuff together to head back to… Continue reading Cleaning a Tuk-Tuk
Latex Plantation
This week we've been over in north-east Thailand. Bueng Kan to be specific. As you may have noted previously, this is where my wires family live. Mother, step-father and step-brother. But as she has grown up with her step-father from such a young age, we call him dad. On our previous visit to Bueng Kan… Continue reading Latex Plantation

Those of you that have been to Chiang Mai, or know that it's located in Northern Thailand right up in the mountains… Continue reading Huay Tung Tao Lake
Baltica7
I'd been back from Kuala Lumpur for a couple of days when I got the call to head back to Bangkok to oversee a TVC shoot (Television Commercial). It was for Baltica7 a Ukrainian beer brand. Mos gave me a lift to the airport on the scooter and I checked in and boarded within and… Continue reading Baltica7
Visa Run
When I arrived in Thailand to get married, I was issued a 30-day tourist visa on entry. I was on day 27 when I went to the Chiang Mai immigration office to get a 7-day extension. Enough time to prepare documents for a visa run to Kuala Lumpur. As I was now going to be… Continue reading Visa Run
