The idea for the Thailand Awaits was born from late-night wine-aided conversations between two travel writers who despaired of finding travel planning articles containing quality content, quality writing, and up-to-the-minute local information.
Thailand Awaits is a part of the Travel Hub Media Group, founded by an anthropologist and award-winning writer and cultural anthropologist Monique Skidmore and an Expert Travel Media writer and publisher Paula Morgan.
We love Thailand and have been living and visiting for over 30 years! We are supported by a team of journalists and local writers from all over the country so that you can be sure you are getting up-to-date information about what’s happening in this diverse country.
