Do Thais entering BTS elevators last expect the buttons to be pressed for them? Yes! Coz gawd forbid, they take their eyes off the phones for a nano second.

Waking up to this.

India is celebrating the Festival of Colours. Indian women are celebrating Indian men “taking full chance”. #iykyk #Holi

Officially been in Thailand longer than I’ve lived in India, or anywhere else.
But, since it’s only been more than 2 decades and not a hot minute, I, sadly, won’t be teaching you anything about #Thailand in a video.

Muted the words “the white lotus”.

Free BTS rides applies to all.

Not me lying in bed on yet another afternoon with a headache, stuffed nose and hoarse voice coz Bangkok air can’t get its shite together.

If you’re not fully awake before 7am, the behaviour at domestic Indian airports is sure to wake you up.

Back in the air.

Can people please stop bastardising the humble pani puri?

Have women completely given up on wearing clothes and are now just rocking up with next to nothing on and calling it an outfit?

Happy 2025!

Nothing like being chased over a footbridge and down the soi by an Indian fortune teller, who yelled at me
“Today is your lucky day”.
Unluckily for him, I yelled back “Well, not any more. I just ran into you.”

A few presents unwrapped and can’t wait to start reading.

Have a good one, folks!

I’m being “whisked away” for Christmas by blondie. Except he’s some 2 hours behind schedule and here I am sat at the airport 😂😂😂😂

I can’t wait to see my blondie tomorrow!
