Just for fun, a few memories of good times in Bangkok and the people (and animals) I came across on a day in Soi Nana. I love looking at these old photos! I’ve got some great memories of living in Bangkok! Much peace and love to you all!
Soi Nana was one of my favourite places to go when I lived in Bangkok. It’s a small street lined with old shophouses, some of which have been converted into funky little bars, restaurants and even art galleries. There are lots of little alleyways behind the main street to explore and Soi Nana is also …
Following my memories in Tales of 2018, I am a little late in reminiscing about 2019, but here goes. 2019 was the first year in a long time that I had spent back home. I never thought I would be living here again, but the year started elsewhere! January I flew to Valencia to make …
Here is the UK we are going through our third lockdown and we just don’t know when we will get our lives back. It’s hard to know what to do to keep our mental wellbeing in check. For me, art is a way to relax my mind and unwind from the stress of my day. …
One of the last things Chris and I did before I left Bangkok was to take a boat along the Saen Saeb canal. This particular stretch runs from Bangkapi to Pathumwan, a considerable distance which took about an hour or so. If you look at a map of Bangkok, you’ll see lots of waterways. This …
The final months of 2020 in The Changing Seasons post, hosted by Su at Zimmerbitch. Happy New Year!! Time flies doesn’t it? This time last year we had no clue what was around the corner! We were all looking forward to what the new year held for us. Little did we know that our lives …
It’s time again for my monthly roundup in The Changing Seasons post, hosted by Su at Zimmerbitch. But, this time it covers what I have been up to since August! What have I been up to? Well, like everyone, not much we can do these days and I have nothing to report for the month …
When I was in Portugal, I took a day trip to Albufeira. From my hotel, it took around 25 minutes to travel the 13 km journey by taxi. My first glimpse of the lovely old town was a leafy avenue flanked with shops, restaurants and market stalls selling the usual touristy items like fridge magnets …
Last year, I took a trip to Portugal to attend one of my best friend’s wedding. When I lived in Thailand, I missed out on a lot of these happy events because I was so far away, so being able to go to a wedding at last made me happy. There were a few of …
Following on from last week’s post when I went searching for street art as part of the Pipit Banglamphu Street Art Festival, I took many photos of other things to see in this lovely, peaceful part of the city. Join me again as I retrace my steps through the many hidden alleys of Bangkok, you …
A couple of months before I left Bangkok for good, I was still enjoying exploring the city. One day, I went in search of street art which was part of the Pipit Banglamphu Street Art Festival. It was a lot of fun wandering around the streets following the map. Banglamphu is home to Bangkok’s infamous …
Following my first photo exhibition – On the Trail of Bangkok’s European Heritage – at Dialogue Coffee and Gallery back in 2017, I was lucky enough to find a new venue to do it all again! Chris and I already knew of a little bar on Soi Nana called 23 Bar and Gallery. We used …
