Bangkok is a huge, fast-growing, modern city but, unlike many big cities in the region, has stubbornly and courageously retained its ancient, oriental essence.

A Place to call Home

I love living in Bangkok.

Picture

Bangkok temples

Here I showcase a few of the thousands of uniquely interesting Buddhist temples in the city.

Picture

Urban Wildlife

A surprising amount of wildlife survives, and even thrives, right in the heart of the city.

Picture

Bangkok by Bicycle

Bicycle is a great way to get about this flat city. Once you get over the terror of Bangkok road traffic, places of interest that cannot be accessed by motor vehicles are to be found everywhere.

Picture

Food

Bangkok is blessed with an astonishing array of food sources

"in which I  illustrate the nature of life in Bangkok, where it is truly an unusual day if I cannot recall anything that has caused me to pause and reflect on what a wonderful  city it is"
