    Yamyen: The novelty hospital restaurant in AoNang Thailand

    24/11/2019

    PLEASE NOTE, UPDATED JAN 2023. Yamyen Aonang is now permanently closed, however, the restaurant has been refurbished and is now a standard Thai restaurant serving traditional foods. Krabi province is giving Bangkok’s unique themed cafes a run for their money with the arrival of a new hospital-themed restaurant in Ao Nang, Thailand. With the capital’s unicorn and mermaid restaurants becoming a more regular tourist attraction, Thailand café hoppers are now looking for their next novelty foodie fix. Yamyen Resto Park Ao Nang shuns the town’s usual beach restaurant format, swapping it for a medical-centre-style set-up – complete with bedpans, syringes and laboratory flasks.   An unusual restaurant in AoNang ……

    Thailand Backpacking Route

    26/02/2018

    Choosing a Thailand backpacking route can be difficult, especially given the wide range of tourist attractions on offer. The country relies heavily on tourism and, as a result, offers travellers hundreds of budget activity choices including museums, palaces, Buddhist temples, beaches, World Heritage sites and cooking classes. If you’re going to Thailand, I recommend you take AT LEAST 2 weeks to do so. With this kind of time frame, you’d be able to catch a good little preview of what the country has to offer. For me, your Thailand route comes down to one main question: North or South Thailand? North Thailand The less obvious of the two. Most new travellers know less about…

    Bucket list locations: White temple, Chiang Rai

    17/03/2017

    The White temple (Wat Rong Khun), in Chiang Rai, Thailand, is possibly one of the most beautiful pieces of architecture I’ve ever seen. The worst bit? I only got to visit it by chance, when my connection bus on the way to the Thai border made a stop there. I’d heard about it, but hadn’t been ‘sold it’ enough to make the journey to see it. I’m going to try make the sell to you now!!!! The temple is actually privately owned, after a local artist decided to fund the rebuilding of the very run down structure, using his own money. He now intends for the area adjacent to the…

    Chiang Mai’s cruelty-free travel attractions

    04/12/2016

    Thailand has had a lot of bad press recently in regards to their animal attractions. I’m pleased. I was becoming increasingly frustrated with people turning a blind eye to attractions that were clearly abusing their animals. Photos of yourself cuddling a tiger? That animal is drugged. Tigers do not spoon humans in the wild, regardless of how domesticated they have become! Luckily, Chiang Mai’s cruelty-free travel attractions are popping up all over the place. The North of Thailand is particularly veggie/vegan friendly, with a lot of the locals partaking in the Chinese Buddhism teachings of eliminating meat from their diet. It couldn’t be easier to go cruelty-free in the odl…

    What not to pack for Thailand

    23/10/2016

    Two years living in Thailand means that every time I go back, I pretty much go with an empty bag. Thailand was my first ever solo backpacking stop, and I wish I’d known not to take the following as a backpacker/someone who set up camp for years… (sorry if this feels a bit female orientated, but… er.. I’m female?) Mosquito repellent It was one of the first things I was told to buy.. “get yourself down to Boots and buy a huge bottle of the strongest Deet you can find”. …..Don’t bother! First of all, those wee Thai mozzies don’t give a rats ass about your Deet.. they’re still going…

The Witches Rock in Fife sits alongside the shorel
The Witches Rock in Fife sits alongside the shoreline of Torryburn. Accused of witchcraft, people were tied out here to be judged & sentenced by the waters. There was no escape, a sentence was inevitable - you drown, you are found innocent, you survive, you are a witch and sentenced to punishment.

The team at @heyplantbae on Edinburgh's Easter Road have extended their cafe offering with a huge range of colourful (and enormous) pastries - perfect for weekend breakfast and/or brunch! 
Their pastries are plant based and vegan friendly, but you'd never tell the difference between them and their dairy-filled alternatives.

Finally made it down to Edinburgh Street Food at the Omni Centre to try out their vegan options.
The two key vegan offerings are Antojitos (all vegan) and Homies pizza (3 vegan pizza choices). 
It's been noted by many others before me that prices at ESF are astronomical - I agree - and while I appreciate it's a central location with high running costs, the prices (from what we saw) are not reflective of portion sizes.

In the 1590s, King James VI Scotland's fear of wit
In the 1590s, King James VI Scotland's fear of witchcraft began stirring up national panics. From the late 16th to the early 18th century, accusations of witchcraft spread like wildfire throughout Scotland.

The only named witch's grave in Scotland – Lillias
The only named witch's grave in Scotland - Lillias Aidie's story deserves more recognition than it receives. 
Scotland's persecution of 'witches' hit its peaks between the late 16th to the early 18th century. It is estimated that between 3 and 4 thousand people were tortured and executed as 'witches'.
At the age of 64, Lillias Aidie was added to the list of suspects after a woman felt delirious after an evening of drinking one night in 1704 — and so she concluded that her neighbor, Lilias, must have summoned Satan to cast a spell on her.

The Bourse de Commerce in Paris, France, was originally built to store and sell wheat.
Initially, it was an open-air interior court, later topped by a wooden dome that was replaced with copper in 1811.
The mural inside was painted in 1889. In 2021 it re-opened to the public following extensive renovations as an exhibition gallery that fuses contemporary art with Parisian heritage.
