We only ate at one place in Krabi Town, and that was the outdoor food market at the Chao Fah Park Pier. It is at the intersection of Chao Fah Alley/Road and Khongkha Road: If you see this pea pod-looking sculpture, you’ll know you’re in the right place: There are a few dozens stalls and stands…
We didn’t love this island or its food, unfortunately. Because its raison d’etre is tourism, the food is all overpriced and not too authentic – even more so than on Koh Phangan. The food quality was better than on Railay, I thought, but the prices were worse. Here’s where we ate: Paradise Pearl Restaurant [Long…
We spent two weeks in Bangkok, though we didn’t love it, unfortunately. Here is what we visited: 1) Yaowarat: This is Bangkok’s Chinatown. Like Chinatowns in many countries, that means lots of little houses close together with small alleys and many stalls selling some things Americans don’t necessarily consider food. (A soup made out of…
Out of all of the Thai islands/beaches we visited, Koh Phangan seemed to have the most authentic and affordable food. Phatchara Boutique Hotel [Thong Sala/Town]: The people at our hotel were very nice, offering us fresh juice at arrival and even upgrading our room without us asking. So, we overlooked the fact that their prices were…
I struggled to write this because, like Susan, I found the food on Krabi’s Railay Beach to be watered-down tourist fare at inflated prices. I don’t have any real recommendations, other than to eat non-Thai food here. Pranang Cuisine: We came here looking for free wifi, since the service at our hotel was weak. The wifi…

Dear F, I’m glad you liked our blog! My wife, N, writes most of the blog posts, and she is happy that you enjoyed them! The pink taxis really stood out to us, mainly because there were so many of them. We didn’t ride in any of them, but we did take a few rides…
Dear S, Thank you for reading our blog! We’re glad that you found it to be useful. Traveling so much can be a little tiring, but it is definitely worth it! Thailand is a large country, and its regions are very different from one another. I started out in Chiang Mai, a city in the…
Hi C, Thanks for reading our blog. I hope you liked it! The best place of all? That’s a very good question, a hard one to answer! In fact, your question led to an entire blog post! To sum it up, based only on this trip, we think that some of the best cities are…
Hello A! Thank you! I am very lucky to have a job where I can work from different places and at weird times. The things you liked—the beauty, the food, and the customs—are some of our favorite things, too! One place in particular—Singapore—was a very diverse city (a country that is one city!). It’s a…
