My neighbour, a newcomer to air travel, has little concept of private space or armrest etiquette.

The phrase “meat salad” isn’t all that appetising. And yet, laab is a spectacular cornucopia of flavours, all in perfect harmony.

I’d been to Bangkok a dozen times before I discovered this highlight
Bangkok can be an oppressive city. Sometimes, you need an escape. But don’t go looking for it in its air-conditioned shopping centres: come to this island.

The best Thai island beach – and it’s largely backpacker-free
It has all the little things that I love about Thai islands. There are no gargantuan resorts and nothing that pockmarks the beach’s natural beauty.

One of the world’s most delicious curries, but its name is confusing
Despite its name this curry is not from, and also has nothing to do with, the Malaysian island of Penang.

The ‘luxury fortress’ hotel transforming Thailand’s notorious party city
This city has a notorious reputation. The Standard, famous for its eccentric luxury hotels in New York and London, wants to change that.
