Striking Gold in Chiang Mai
Blog: ContemporaryNomad - 18 May 2012
Statue at Wat Phra Singh There’s a very distinct color coordination effort going on in much of Thailand’s religious architecture, and it’s, perhaps, most noticeable in the compact back alleys of Chiang Mai. The old town is packed with stunning golden temples with gilded statues, chedis, and latticework as well as gold-infused temple murals and [...]

My Favorite Hostel in the World
Blog: Hole In The Donut - 10 May 2012
Let me just say it…I love hostels! Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate luxurious resorts and upscale hotels too, but there’s a special kind of energy in hostels that doesn’t translate to other accommodation types.

The Tallest Buddhist Stupa
Blog: ContemporaryNomad - 7 May 2012
The Phra Pathom Chedi in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand is the tallest Buddhist stupa in the world. At 127 metres (417 ft), it’s taller than any stupa, dagobah, chedi, candi, chorten, pagoda or monastic complex anywhere. So how does it measure up to other religious buildings?
