I wish I had longer to spend in Yangon. I only had a week in Myanmar to explore, of that I spent 2.5 days in Yangon and it wasn’t enough. So what does any sane person do when they don’t have enough time and there is too much food to try. Of course they have … Continue reading
Travel Theme: Rivers Nong Khai is my favourite town in north east Thailand. It is a gateway in to Laos, it sits on the Mekong River and it feels small and quaint but still with lots of delicious food options. We’ve visited Nong Khai a few times over the past few years and I always feel like it just … Continue reading

Most food stalls or restaurants serve up vegetables in their dishes – often you get more vegetables than meat. But I suppose some people don’t like to eat vegetables and that … Continue reading
One of the things I love about Thailand is the food. I realize that this is probably a bit obvious since we’ve been writing this blog and mentioning food in Thailand quite frequently. But I don”t just love the food because it’s delicious that’s a given and something I’ve repeatedly mentioned. I haven’t always had the same … Continue reading
While looking for some potato chips I stumbled across this interesting bag. I was imagining they’d be like Sticks chips in New Zealand but nope.
