I know I keep saying it in most of my monthly reviews but I honestly believe this month’s Thailand blogs review is the best yet. The quality of writing and wide range of topics have in my opinion raised the bar of excellence even higher, and so let’s get straight onto the posts which I’m [...]

June was the best month ever for Beyond The Mango Juice with the site reaching record highs for both visitor hits and pageviews. My Google Analytics dashboard revealed 4,013 visitors and 8,018 page loads but most pleasing was the site bounce rate for June registering a lowly 59%. I’m well pleased with those statistics and [...]

What words can best describe the events in Thailand during May. Heartbreaking, tragic, ruinous and cataclysmic are just a few which sum up the death and destruction in Bangkok that finally severed Thailand into two separate halves. Let’s hope the political surgeons can stitch them back together. Enough said. Let’s get straight into my pick [...]

Was there any other news to come out of Thailand last month apart from the UDD red shirt protests in Bangkok. The drama in Thailand’s capital gave a media soaking to the country’s New Year Songkran Festival as the ongoing political crisis made all the headlines for all the wrong reasons.

Beyond The Mango Juice kicks off the year with a slimmed down monthly blog review format. Due to the increased content of my Thai blogroll I have been forced to omit entries from my world blog links as the ever increasing length of the review has forced me to compress future posts. I have recently [...]

November has come and gone now leaving just 20 days to Christmas and a period which will hopefully kick start Thailand’s flagging tourism industry into better times. Will the next year see tourists returning to the Land of Smiles in their former droves or is another 12 months of empty hotels and near deserted beaches [...]

Beyond The Mango Juice enjoyed a quite fruitful month during October. Visitors to the site fell just short of the 3000 mark but that figure represents a near full recovery from the Denial of Service attack which struck my server a few months back. The stats from the first few days into November show visitors [...]

My recent holiday in Thailand took me to Kanchanaburi for the first four nights and my visit to the seven tier Erawan Waterfall was one of the best days of my whole holiday. For those of you who have yet to visit this picturesque province situated 130 kilometres from Bangkok on the west side of [...]
