Just before Christmas, I read about the re-opening of a monument in Delhi’s Nizamuddin area – a 16th century garden tomb that has been lovingly restored and renovated. To my shame, I’d never ever visited this tomb, even in its pre-restoration run-down state, so we decided to mark the first …
I’ve had a distinctly on/off relationship with this wonderful gym in south Delhi – all courtesy Coronavirus. I’d only just started training with the amazing team at Decodesnc in late February, when the Delhi government ordered gyms to close, as the threat of Coronavirus began to loom on the horizon. …
Honestly speaking, the Golden Teak Museum is not one of Bangkok’s absolute “must see” sights, but it is, however, great fun. Moreover, since it is located in the compound of the absolutely stunning Wat Thewarat Kunchorn Worawiharn – which you really, really should see – then it makes total sense …

I stayed in the Ned Kelly Hotel last year, on a trip with an American friend who’d made the booking mainly on the strength of the Ned Kelly having a roof terrace. And the unusual name. Turns out, she didn’t know who Ned Kelly was. Nor, I suspect, had she …
Given the opulence of the setting, I think that Icon Cineconic in the uber-luxury, brand new IconSiam mall, is actually totally reasonable. I live in India, and during a week of intensive cinema going in Bangkok – 4 movies in a week – every time we paid less than we …
