I’ve interviewed Thailand’s top supermodel, hung out with Thailand’s first all-ladyboy pop group and tried to keep up with Bangkok’s free-running crew. I was on the scene when flight OG269 crash landed at Phuket Airport and I caught up with the British Ambassador to hear his thoughts on safety in Phuket. I was in Bangkok when the coup happened and the Bangkok bombs exploded on my doorstep. All clips are in .PDF format.
