The 10 Best Bloggers in Thailand

She Simmers is a great blog for foodies, especially people who adore the diverse tastes of Thai cuisine. Run by Leela Punyaratabandhu, a Thai national based in Bangkok, the blog covers all aspects of Thai food, focusing largely on recipes so you can recreate your favourite dishes yourself. Beef tongue stew, fruit som tam, shrimp satay, and Thai tea cakes are just a few exciting recipes to try. The photography will make your mouth water! Delve into the history of Thai cuisine and learn new skills, such as how to prepare tamarind pulp, how to wrap spring rolls, and how to prepare a jackfruit.

Another blog that focuses on delicious Thai cuisine, Thai Food Master may have been started by a long-term expat but there are now several Thai people on the team providing both a local and foreign point of view. From links between food and culture and regional variations in Thai food to cooking techniques, ingredients, and recipes, no stone is left unturned when it comes to mastering the art of cooking (and eating) Thai food. Informative and inspiring, the site is available in both English and Thai, and it has video tutorials too.

Oh Happy Bear labels itself as a Bangkok-based food and travel blog, though the site does also dip into other areas as well. Aside from covering Thai food and cooking, the website also details cuisine from other parts of Asia and farther afield. There is a section devoted to vegetarian food and restaurant reviews, which is handy for veggie travellers exploring the Land of Smiles. The activities section may provide exciting ideas for a trip, with museums and exhibitions, art events, and spas among the areas covered.

Sirinya is a luk kreung, a term used in Thai for somebody who is half Thai. In Sirinya’s case, she has a Thai-Chinese father and a German mother. She blogs in English, covering anything and everything related to Thai culture, traditions, and day-to-day life in the Land of Smiles. It offers interesting and educational insights on Thailand through topics ranging from fashion, beauty, food, and festivals, to history, art, religion, and film. It’s an excellent online resource for all things related to being Thai, and you’re sure to spend longer than anticipated perusing the many articles and pictures.

As well as handy reviews, it’s especially great for anyone who is looking to travel like a local and be inspired to visit places that are away from the typical tourist trail. Cycling in Nakhon Phanom, visiting Pak Chong’s Secret Art Garden, and exploring the Khanong Phra Community Market in Nakhon Ratchasima province are just a few ways to do something different during your Thailand trip.

I Roam Alone is another travel blog from a Thai national, detailing solo female adventures in diverse destinations. Content is in Thai, but with an impressive 600,000-plus followers on social media, it’s fair to say that it may well be worth using translation programs for some juicy insights.

It’s among one of the most inspirational and aspirational travel blogs for Thai people, especially females.
