Somehow, after living in Bangkok for a while and visiting both Lumphini Park and Benjakitti Park countless times, I had never heard of the Green Bridge. I had also somehow missed the forest park tucked quietly beside Benjakitti Lake. And…

A muddy day trip to Khao Yai National Park from Bangkok, hiking through the forest, dodging leeches, spotting deer and chasing waterfalls.

Exploring Koh Samui’s quieter west coast from Nathon, with beautiful beaches, local food, morning runs, sunset drinks and a much slower island vibe.

O2K Fitness surprised me. This local Koh Samui gym near Mae Nam has everything you need for a solid strength workout, and at just 140 THB for a day pass, it’s excellent value.

Wat Phuttha Prommayan, better described as Thailand’s Mirror Temple or the Gold and Silver Temple, is absolutely stunning and unlike any other temple we’ve visited around Bangkok.

Muscle Factory Pattaya is a raw, old-school strength gym packed with equipment and serious lifting vibes, but its ageing machines won’t suit everyone.

Sun Fitness Pratumnak Hill is a modern, spotless Pattaya gym with excellent equipment and great pricing. Here’s what it was like to train there.

Gym One Ho Chi Minh City looks impressive, with modern facilities and plenty of equipment, but my actual workout experience left me disappointed.

C’Gym in Ho Chi Minh City’s District 1 is an affordable local gym with older but reliable equipment, a relaxed atmosphere and excellent value.
