My teenage years were spent trying to look like Rod Stewart - I ended up looking like Dave Hill from Slade.

I've been visiting Thailand for more than 20 years but didn't fall in love with it until I visited Phuket Town in Phuket. The northern part of Phuket is one of the most fascinating places I've ever been, and largely unspoilt and unknown.

People are always surprised at what a nice guy I am.
