If you’re new to Trips, here’s how this works: most Mondays we like to feature a name from the ranks of Matador’s destination experts. Today, Thailand.

A Matador community member since the early days, pranaforce is our resident go-to for all things Thailand. In his own words:

I’ve been known to take off to Thailand quite a bit, though I don’t feel like an expert in my knowledge of the land of Thai’s I do feel I’ve experienced enough to give ya’ll a pretty cool perspective of where to go depending on what you’re looking to do/experience for yourself.

Diving, trekking, climbing, yoga, meditation, food, shopping, clubbing, fun scenes from downtown BKK to isolated islands with other truth seekers on the path. Let me know if I can help and I’ll do my best to assist in anyway I can. Be well~

Here’s a little more about pranaforce:

About me: Gangsta sums it up!
I’m fired up on: Punjabi, the suns energy, oceanic endeavors, punjabi.. oh and yoga; )
Why I travel: To learn as much as I can.. and teach all that I learn
Let’s collaborate: and listen!

    Welcome. I’m also not much of expert on Thailand, though I’m the author of Thailand Handbook from Moon Publications, author of Nat Geo Thailand, etc. First visit in 1979; probably 50 visits total. But there’s so much change and much to always learn.
