Few last sandy pawprints before I leave 🐾 Koh S Few last sandy pawprints before I leave
🐾
Koh Samui has been all sunshine, salty fur, and lazy days floating with my duckie. From morning swims to mango snacks on the beach, every moment has felt like a holiday inside a holiday
🐾
Between sweaty Muay Thai sessions at the gym and a few cheeky naked dips in the sea, this island has truly seen all sides of me. Don’t worry, I kept my hat on
🐾
Until next time, Koh Samui, you’ve been a dream

Turns out my comfort zone doesn’t come with a pu Turns out my comfort zone doesn’t come with a punch bag
🐾 
Today I swapped my beach sundowner for boxing gloves and tried Muay Thai at a local gym here in Koh Samui. So much to remember, but the teachers made it great fun (and very sweaty)
🐾 
Learning something new is never easy, but it’s pawsitively worth it. I may not be the fiercest fighter in Thailand, but I did manage not to punch myself on the nose, so that’s a win
🐾 
Here’s to being active, trying new things, and keeping your paws next to your ears! 🥊🐻🥊

Bangkok, what a whirlwind! 🐾 From sunrise tuk-t Bangkok, what a whirlwind!
🐾
From sunrise tuk-tuk rides to sunset river lights, this city never sits still. Golden temples shimmer in the heat, while street food stalls tempt every paw step with sizzling noodles and sticky-sweet mango
🐾
I wandered through palaces, peeked into markets, and may have sampled one (or three) coconut ice creams to keep my fur cool. The buzz of scooters, the hum of chatter, the scent of spices, it’s a symphony of sights and sounds
🐾
Bangkok, you’re bold, busy, and utterly brilliant. I’ll be back for seconds (and more mango)

That’s one very relaxed Buddha! 🐾 Today I vis That’s one very relaxed Buddha!
🐾
Today I visited the Reclining Golden Buddha of Bangkok—so huge and so shiny that I had to tilt my head all the way back just to take it in. Stretched out at over 45 metres long, it’s like the Buddha has found the comfiest nap spot in the city
🐾
Covered in gold leaf and with mother-of-pearl inlaid feet, it’s one of the most dazzling sights I’ve ever seen. Peaceful, radiant, and honestly making me a little sleepy too…
🐾
If only there was room on that couch-sized elbow for a bear with a marmalade sandwich!

Welcome to the Palace of Bangkok 🇹🇭 🐾 It Welcome to the Palace of Bangkok 🇹🇭
🐾 
It’s been over six years since my last visit to Thailand, and it feels just as magical this time around
🐾 
Shimmering rooftops, glittering spires, and so much gold I had to check if my fur was sparkling too. The Grand Palace is as regal as it gets, fit for kings, queens, and perhaps even the occasional bear
🐾 
I even tried to make the guards laugh during the changing of the guard, no luck though. Very serious business, apparently, even for a bear with marmalade jokes
🐾 
As I wandered through the courtyards, I couldn’t help but wonder… will I be invited for afternoon tea with the King of Thailand too? My royal tea credentials are rather impeccable after all
🐾 
Bangkok, you’ve outdone yourself. Grand by name, grand by nature

Big, bold, and beautifully serene. 🐾 Today I pa Big, bold, and beautifully serene.
🐾
Today I padded over to the great Boudhanath Stupa in Kathmandu—one of the largest in the world! Its massive white dome rises like a snow-capped mountain, topped with a golden spire and the Buddha’s watchful eyes gazing in every direction.
🐾
I joined pilgrims walking clockwise around the stupa, spinning prayer wheels as colourful flags fluttered above, carrying wishes on the wind. The scent of incense and butter lamps filled the air—it felt peaceful, powerful, and pawsitively magical.
🐾
No wonder this stupa has been a centre of Buddhist life for centuries—it’s not just a monument, it’s a heartbeat of Kathmandu itself.

Bhaktapur, what a treat! 🐾 From the moment I a Bhaktapur, what a treat!
🐾 
From the moment I arrived, I was surrounded by the incredible architecture of this living UNESCO city, ancient temples, carved wooden windows, and brick squares buzzing with life. It felt like stepping straight into history (but with extra snacks nearby)
🐾 
I tried my paws at the potter’s wheel, let’s just say my bowl was more “abstract art” than “functional kitchenware,” but the locals were very kind about it. Momo then whisked me off to taste the legendary king of curd, creamy and sweet enough to make a bear dance
🐾 
And as if that wasn’t enough, I stumbled into one of the biggest festivities of the year, Gai Jatra. Colourful processions, music, and laughter filled the streets. It was a joyful celebration of life, remembrance, and togetherness. What a welcome to Bhaktapur!
