MY mate Tacky likes to refer to Thailand as “the big mango” but sometimes I think it’s more the devoured mango. All sweet, juicy and full of sustenance and life. Here’s a few snapshots of my recent trip, where as usual, I’ve fallen in love with the colour, the characters and the chaos that is Thailand.

Nothing says breakfast like these beautiful towers of Indian spices at the Shangri-La Hotel, Bangkok…

I adore windows into other people’s lives and cultures…

Fresh Thai fish in chilli is hard to beat for a feast…

A Thai bikie…

A school girl feeds the birds…

Market fashion…

Thai duck salad at GranMonte Vineyard in Khao Yai…

Herbs, spices and all things nice at the Hansar Hotel, Bangkok…
