Jody Houton is a UK-born journalist who has lived in Thailand, in Phuket and currently Bangkok, for five years. Working for a number of newspapers, magazines and radio stations during that time has enabled him access to some of the country's most interesting, bizarre and influential people and allowed him the time and, most importantly, opportunity to delve much deeper into the Thai psyche, lifestyle, culture and experience.
Living in both the tourist area of Phuket and the capital city of the country has given Houton a unique vantage point to speak on Thailand and Thai people from the perspective of tourist, resident, foreigner and expat. A keen music, arts and film lover, Houton has a natural understanding of the arts and his interest in these aspects of Thai culture have made for an awesome, and thoroughly interesting section. Houton has traveled extensively since leaving university and has lived and worked in five different countries before settling in Thailand. The expat experience has allowed Houton an unbiased interpretation of the benefits and disadvantages of being a foreigner and living abroad in Thailand.
