Maria grew up in a tiny village in the German countryside. Today, she calls London home (for now) after more than three decades of globetrotting and working in luxury hotels. Along the journey, she’s befriended colourful characters, tasted more cuisines than she can count, and immersed herself in diverse cultures and awe-inspiring landscapes. Each adventure merits its own tale—eventually.

Taang Leuk is the conclusion of the Krung Thep trilogy.
