Lost AbroadThe people behind the stories
Field notes
If you’re looking to check out something quite unusual, in busy Bangkok, but also a bit thrilling? The Airplane Graveyard is the spot. It is basically an open wasteland with a few planes that have been scrapped and left there since 2010.
Field notes
In such a huge city like Bangkok, getting around can be a long and overwhelming experience. Luckily, people have been taking advantage of the canals through the capital from the Khlong Saen Saeb river and turned it into a great way to cover ground effectively: The Khlong Canal taxis.

We stayed in Inle Lake longer than we anticipated, and this is where we had the best food of our trip. Among the many places we tried, here are the best places to eat in Nyaungshwe, Inle Lake.
Field notes
Nyaungshwe is the Inle Lake backpacker spot. It is authentic, cheaper than the other villages around the lake, easy to access with buses and to walk or cycle around. In addition to visit the lake with its floating villages and farms, we spent a lot of time in and around Nyaungshwe.
Field notes
Elephant treks and rides are popular among tourists in Thailand and in many other parts of Asia. However elephants are often mistreated and harshly trained. A recent report from the World Animal Protection (WAP) revealed that more than three-quarters of nearly 3,000 elephants used for tourist entertainment in Asia are kept in severely-cruel conditions.
Field notes
After 50 years of isolation and oppression, Myanmar (formerly Burma) opened up to the rest of the world a few years ago and became a jewel for tourism. The country that used to be the least visited in South Asia became one of the hottest destinations in 2016.
