If you are flying Thai Airways this month, take a look at my article in Sawasdee magazine about Ang Thong province, just north of Bangkok. I also have the cover shot. The image was taken at Wat Muang, home to Phra Buddha Maha Nawamin, the largest Buddha statue in the country and the ninth tallest

Lao food gets a bad press, and I think it’s undeserved. Granted, the competition from neighbouring Thailand and Vietnam is stiff but there’s certainly plenty of delicious and interesting food worth discovering in landlocked Laos. Unfortunately the restaurant scene hasn’t really developed and until relatively recently very few people went out to eat. Most of

I have just returned from a great weekend in Chiang Rai, discovering that despite the recent earthquake all is well in the lovely northern city. In a momentary departure from my usual topics of food and travel images, I went to see the Singha 12 Hour Endurance 2014, a challenging cycling event that attracted competitors

My working day in front of the computer is usually punctuated by cups of freshly ground coffee and the occasional brew of Earl Grey tea. In Myanmar, it is tea that fuels the nation; that and betel nut of course. Tea stalls and tea shops abound, and no meal or snack is complete without a

I was sad to receive a phone call around 8 pm last night telling me that Talat Tong Khan Kham, one of my favourite fresh markets in Vientiane was on fire. It was an enormous blaze that could be seen across the city and the entire market was destroyed. I used to visit this once

I’ve just received a copy of ‘Southeast Asia – A Region Revealed’. It’s basically a compendium of all the books in the Enchanting Asia series and includes work by myself, Malaysian-based David Bowden, and UK photographer, Nigel Hicks. My contributions are the entire sections on Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Thailand. Other sections include Brunei, Malaysia,

Earlier in the year I was working on my forthcoming book ‘Presenting Cambodia’, a commissioned A4 hardback which provides an overview of this wonderful country through text and around 250 images. My chosen mode of transport in Cambodia, and anywhere else for that matter, is a motorcycle, preferably a dirt bike so I can get

While working in KL, I met up with my old mate and photojournalist, Pein Lee. We spent a few night’s chomping on braised pig’s ears at local eateries, and propping up the bar at Sam’s, chatting about photography, future projects, and the Malaysia’s current political malaise, until kicking out time. Pein’s talk is as direct

It’s harvest time in Thailand. I’ve recently returned from a few days in Chiang Rai and Phayao photographing the rice harvest for a client. Alas, for two out of three days the weather was dreadful with white skies and rain. Most unseasonal. I met up with a few of the farmers I had photographed
