The Last Khon Dancer of Bangkok: Preserving a Dying Thai Art Form

May 17, 2025 by Sally CatiloLeave a Comment

In a busy alleyway behind Bangkok's Grand Palace, the distant sound of piphat music played in classical style drifts through the morning air. In a simple rehearsal room, a lone figure stretches, clothed in elaborate garb, and fastens on a golden mask with tender respect. He is Master Prasert — considered by many to be the last traditionally trained Khon dancer in Bangkok who continues to perform and teach full-time. As Thailand hurtles into the … [Read more...]

Bangkok to Phnom Penh

December 5, 2024 by aye_thuraLeave a Comment

This Cambodia trip was the most unexpected and unplanned trip I have ever been on. Although I had intended to travel there, I never anticipated it would happen so quickly because my 14-day visa-free had expired, and I had to leave Thailand urgently to avoid paying fines. This blog will follow my chaotic trip from Bangkok to Phnom Penh, along with some advice and tricks. I was informed that I could not extend my visa anymore, only a night … [Read more...]

John Farrell, Founder of One Bag Travel

March 21, 2024 by Teh Chin LiangLeave a Comment

Q. Tell us a bit about yourself and what made you decide to travel with only one bag? Hi, I’m John from One Bag Travel. I’m from Connecticut, United States. I started one-bag traveling after almost missing a morning ferry in Croatia because my friends overpacked giant checked roller bags. It took them forever to repack their clothes—too bulky that they couldn’t move quickly while dragging the roller bags on cobblestone streets at 4 am. From … [Read more...]

Thailand Trails: A Road Trip Adventure

March 1, 2024 by Dave4 Comments

Out of the blue, a friend sent me a Whatsapp note asking where I was. Knowing his proclivity for international travels and knowing my schedule, we both could have been just about anywhere on the planet. "Thailand", was my reply. I had recently arrived in the Kingdom, immediately following three months in the Caribbean and Colombia. Remarkably, he said he was in Khorat which was only about 2 hours north of where I staying. It had been years since … [Read more...]

February 1, 2024 by DaveLeave a Comment

We've been fortunate to have eaten at this restaurant multiple times over multiple trips to Koh Lak. Every time we come to this island we dream of the food here for several week before our arrival. Arguably the best restaurant on the island. Both the quality of the seafood and the gentle ambiance make for a memorable meal. Located next to a small bay the restaurant extends over the water with several dining spaces. The most coveted tables are … [Read more...]
