Over the last 3 months of travel I have received incredible kindness, support and friendship from everyone I have met along the way. From my mountain man high up in the Himalayas and the family at the Panjtara...
I always knew I was going to like Kampot, I had heard a lot of good stories from friends over the years. I wasn’t prepared for just how cool a place it was though. Many of the ex-pat locals had fled...

I always knew I was going to like Kampot, I had heard a lot of good stories from friends over the years. I wasn’t prepared for just how cool a place it was though. Many of the ex-pat locals had fled Sihanoukville after...
Over the next few days I took a bike and explored along the river side roads in every direction, there are a lot of great things to see from the rejuvenated pepper farms and salt beds to the farms and rice fields...
So its been a long time since I had a happy pizza and writing these blogs seemed like as good an excuse as I was ever going to have for trying this delight once again! Due to the quirk in the local tolerance towards...
Before I left on my most recent trip, I sat with Tom the owner at Seedsman, and had a great chat about what I was hoping for and asked for his perspective on recent moves in the industry. When talking about collecting...
Phnom Penh often gets overlooked by travelers who arrive and after 1-day sightseeing immediately head off to the more famous sites like Angkor Wat at Siem Reap further north or down to the islands in the south...
Cambodia Is an absolutely stunning country with some of the warmest, kindest people you will find anywhere, which considering its incredibly difficult recent history is even more reason to love this country if you...
Getting back to Bangkok is going to be a much nicer journey that the bus ride , I managed to get a sleep bunk on the overnight train which I have always enjoyed so after another round of sad goodbyes , its back on a...
After a relentless weekend of dancing and having fun I jumped on a boat back to civilisation and headed back north to my second home Chaloklum. The sleepy fishing village has that old school feel I crave, and the locals...
The next stop is back home to a special group of beaches on the east coast I lived on with an amazing party scene and a very hedonistic vibe. It’s a place you can really only get to easily by boat so it has a secret...
When you arrive by ferry, which is the only way onto the island the main boats will take you to Thong Sala the island’s main town. You will be met by lots of local taxi drivers all trying to get your business...
I first came to Koh Phangan in 1995 as a young, naïve backpacker looking for somewhere special. Like most of us back then I’d heard about the island in whispered conversations from people I had met on my travel. ...
Because I am a glutton for punishment, I had decided it was a good idea to take an overnight bus and ferry down to Koh Phangan. I have flown down and taken the train too many times to remember but I only ever took the...
Just one year ago, I would have told you that Thailand despite having a reputation for growing some of the best weed in the world a few decades ago, does not have a cultivation scene and is not a place you can come to...
Once you have found a place to stay in town. My advice is to wear comfy shoes and take as little as possible with you when you go exploring. While I have never had an issue anywhere in Thailand with safety it’s a good...
Flying into Bangkok always fills me with a sense of excitement. I have been coming here for almost 25 years and the city seems to keep growing at a rate that is hard to believe. It is one of the most diverse and...
After another long bus journey down from the mountains, we end up getting dropped on the opposite side of the city to the place I have booked so I take a rickshaw across town early in the morning. Its really cold, even...
So after receiving many kind emails and messages worrying about my safety and some concerned I may be moving around during a time when staying indoors and static is so important, I thought It was time to give you guys...
After a good night’s sleep in a warm comfy bed and a strong coffee in the morning, I head off to the local post office and send back my collected seeds and some small gifts for family and friends. It’s a...
I left my mountain hideaway around midday, so I had a fantastic view as I worked my way slowly back down to the small villages below. Eventually, I could see Tosh back across the valley and the river Parvati winding its...
After another cosy night’s sleep with my hot water bottle, we are up early and straight back into cleaning seeds. In this temperature the dry resin collects on my fingers extremely fast and once collected makes a lovely...
At last, after 3 weeks and a lot of trekking, I have finally arrived at my main destination. A beautiful house high up at the top of its own valley. If you didn’t know it was here you could never find it and its...
Kalga, Pulga and Tulga; also known as the three sisters are a trio of pretty villages what lie across the valley from Tosh. They are well known for their apple orchards and of course like everywhere here their charas...
Tosh and the surrounding area at this time of year has a special kind of magic. The tourists have largely gone and the snow on the ground gives the light and incredible quality. Especially early in the morning and at...
Tosh is a charming village and at this time of the year feels very sleepy. It’s actually larger than it first appears and stretches along the side of the valley for a fairway. It takes me about 20 minutes to walk...
From Manikaran I managed to find a taxi who can take me closer up towards Tosh, my next destination. The roads have become impassable for buses so it’s the only option. The ride up is beautiful but slightly scary as the...
While it has been pretty chilly at night, the days have been warm and sunny. All the time I am up at higher altitude I am painfully aware that any moment the snows can arrive at this time of year and with them the...
