A goal of mine while living in Thailand was to explore places that were not on the typical tourist track and experience as much native culture and tradition as I could. Enter Phi Ta Khon – a three-day party filled with hand-painted wooden masks, dancing and wooden phalluses (still not 100% clear on that one). … More thai ghost na
Ok…before we go any further, I should warn you. Some of the photographs in this post are not for the faint of heart. I don’t remember feeling grossed out when I saw it in person, but going through them after the fact, I suppose they are a bit intense. But, this is one of the most interesting … More vegetarian festival – NSFW
Oh, earth, you’re too wonderful for anybody to realize you…do human beings ever realize life while they live it? – Thorton Wilder – amazing home in Chiang Mai – Is there a better Thai meal than khao soy and Thai tea? I SAY NAY! – staying in a treehouse at Viva Chiang Mai – – … More moonrise kingdom
When I decided to move this little bod over to Thailand, I never thought I’d end up living anywhere but Chiang Mai. Small, but still exciting…misty mountains and waterfalls a short motorbike ride away…apparently the cute cafe capital of Thailand – it just seemed to tick more of my boxes than Bangkok could. But, as you’ll … More chiang dao town
It’s hard to be so far away from family. While I have consistently Skyped with my parents every Sunday for nearly three years, it’s just not the same as being able to pop over to the house I grew up in, plop down on our giant comfy sofa and indulge in one of my mama’s baking creations. … More rogers family vacation
Recently, I was asked to be a guest on a Thai travel show called Sofar So Good. Sofar So Good focuses on showcasing some of that elusive unseen Thailand. Oh, and they let one of us farang tag along too, likely for a bit of comedic effect (not saying I’m funny – just sure that Thais … More so far, so good
Recently spent my second holiday season in Thailand. Last year was pretty tough for me, so I knew I wanted to do something big this time around. What started as just getting out of Bangkok to ride horses up north in Khao Yai developed into renting an amazing Airbnb with fifteen of my favorite Bangkok kids. … More christmas in khao yai
Recently took some friends up to Farm Mor Por/Mirasierra again for a little city break. I can’t get enough of the place. Being at Farm Mor Por reminds me of my riding days as a kid and Mirasierra is just really gorgeous. Bonus: there is always a steady flow of sangria, reminding me of my … More repeat offender
A few leftovers from my quick shoot in Ari for KLM. One of my favorite neighborhoods – actually looking for a new place here or possibly Suan Plu…if you’re in Bangkok and know of anything, let me know:) Porcupine Cafe Tokyo Bike The Yard Summer Street Friends at Fatbird
Dedicating this post to dumping some Bangkok shots that I haven’t gotten around to posting anywhere. Inspired by my recent collaboration with KLM – found HERE (and hiiii new readers!) – I’ve decided to post some of the shots on the blog to share more of what I see/do on a daily basis. We just finished one … More bangkok daze
It is so nice having talented friends. The magical little nymph behind The Pickled Leaf is my friend Trish. She’s currently in culinary school, and her new venture The Pickled Leaf is a simple concept – bringing people together to partake in one of life’s greatest pleasures: fooooood. And it is really, really good food. The … More the pickled leaf
Recently I volunteered with PAWS Bangkok to photograph their cat yoga at Yogatique. Thailand has a huge stray animal problem, and PAWS does its best to educate and promote spaying and neutering, and also provides medical care and adoption services. I know one kitten was adopted immediately following the yoga class! I know I’d take … More cat yoga is the best yoga
