Insta-Thailand: Thailand by Instagram
I’m currently about halfway through my Thailand blog posts, having already written about my time in the Thai islands (Koh Lanta, Koh Kradan, Koh Phi Phi) and in Bangkok.
Wat’s That? Temple Hopping in Bangkok

Best of Cambodia – Photo Gallery
The ‘Best of Cambodia’ photo gallery below is a collection of images I took in April/May 2013 while traveling in Cambodia. In two weeks of travel, I visited cheap Siem Reap and went cycling around Angkor, frolicked along the waterfront and checked out the prison in Phnom Penh, got hassled and watched firecrackers at Serendipity Beach in Sihanoukville, and chilled out on the most beautiful island in Southeast Asia (in my “professional” opinion) – Koh Rong.
Jungle Beach: When Tour Groups Attack
