Visa runs are an essential part of expat life in Southeast Asia, and Kuala Lumpur offers a modern, enjoyable, and efficient experience for sorting your visa needs. This blog details the smooth and memorable experience of conducting a visa run to the Royal Thai Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, a city that combines beautiful architecture, delicious food, and vibrant culture.
Visa runs are something most of us will experience at some point whilst living here in Thailand, if you don’t count yourself as one of the lucky ones. In all seriousness though, visa runs are not that bad depending on your budget and where you’re going, it can be quite the adventure. In this blog I will be detailing my recent visa run to the Thai Embassy in Laos sleepy capitol city of Vientiane.
Hua Hin is a beautiful beach town only a few hours from Bangkok. It was one of the first resort to be established in Thailand and has masses of old world charm, wide white sand beaches, great seafood restaurants and markets to explore.
Yes, I’ve read all the guide books and listened to all the advice about eating, or not eating, the street food in Thailand and it’s worth taking notice of to a degree. I have lived here for many years and eating street food has become part of my daily life.
Being a teacher is a challenging and highly rewarding career option. One of the most challenging aspects of the job is classroom and behaviour management. You can have all the degrees and the knowledge in the world, but if the classroom is not managed successfully all the knowledge and degrees count for nothing.

Being a substitute teacher, or cover teacher, is a good way to keep yourself busy and actively involved in your career and in working with students. Like most jobs, it has its advantages and disadvantages, but for me the advantages outweigh the negatives. I have been doing covers for the past 4 years and will outline what I consider to be the major pros and cons that the job throws up.
One of the major adjustments I had to make when moving to live in Bangkok was the floor space that I found myself living in. Coming from Australia, I had lived in the outer north east suburbs in a standard three bedroom house. The house was nothing outstanding, front and back yards, living room office/study and dining room.
I discovered the Express Boat service years ago and have been using it ever since. Whether you are going to and from work or sightseeing on the weekend, it’s a great way to travel through Bangkok.
We all know what the traffic is like in Bangkok. The city is famous, or infamous, for the daily gridlocks and the time it takes to get from point A to point B. It can be a total pain that affects pretty much everything that you do. But there are two sides to the coin.
With many of the rules and regulations that were in place because of Covid 19 being relaxed, it’s time to start exploring Thailand again. Pretty much all the restrictions concerning domestic travel have been removed and the government is actively encouraging people to get moving again.
