Meandering Tales Lifestyle Magazine Asia is a journal/Blog of articles and stories about South East Asia and predominantly about the Kingdom of Thailand. The author is a retired foreigner (farang in Thai) living his silver/golden years in the magical country. On deciding to start a Blog in 2016, I have evidently become a prolific Blogger with scores of articles
All articles In the Meandering Tales Blog are honest, detailed and hopefully interesting. Our main emphasis is on Destinations, Food and Drink, Health, Golf, Retirement and Lifestyle. You will find our articles cover a wide range of subjects all of which are dear to the Author’s heart and, we believe, essential and useful information to both tourists visiting and to foreigners choosing to like in South East Asia.
Bloggers have often been accused of kowtowing to the whims of PR Departments! Yes we are often invited and treated to wonderful experiences. Tourism consists of so many factors and the vast human element makes perfection a great challenge. Meandering Tales, as it’s name suggests covers a cornucopia of subjects, some light, some serious but all relevant to mature travelers enjoying the region. Whilst we don’t look for complaints, the majority of suppliers are pleased with our ‘constructive criticism (if we find some), how else can a supplier improve?
A majority of the articles are written specifically for the mature traveler as we start to realise our capabilities. However we are all young at heart, have the financial resources and most importantly the time to travel and enjoy the experiences offered.
