Happy whatever you celebrate this winter period – here is a free book called: “Haunted Thailand: Ghosts and spirits in the Land of Smiles”. You can get it here free until Boxing Day (aka 26th of December if you don’t know what that is). I know it doesn’t sound very festive – except for Halloween…
I wrote recently about an angry Thai ghost with a detachable head, so it is time to look at some beautfiul tree spirits that protect native trees. Thailand’s spiritual world isn’t all horror, walk down almost any street and you’ll see colourful ribbons tied around trees. They’re not decorations. They’re offerings to the spirits who…

Many moons ago, I used to live writing freelance articles for a number of magazines in Bangkok. The…
Many moons ago I wrote an article for a Bangkok Magazine called Haunted Thailand. Actually, it was called Ghosts in Thailand or something but my editor changed it and frankly, it is a lot better. It was a print magazine but I copied it to this site. You can read the article here. I had…
