"I was thrilled to chat with Jessica Minh Anh about her fashion projects. Jessica is very down-to-earth and articulate, making the interview a breeze. Standing in super-high heels, she looked every bit as fabulous off the runway as she does on it."

"This was a dream assignment for me. Getting to work on Koh Samui is a bonus, but getting to sample the best dishes on the island was the icing on the cake. I even got to do a cooking class and learned that perhaps even I'm capable of cooking something!"

"On my fi rst visits to India I was wined and dined by Rajasthani Maharajas. Meeting Manvendra Singh Gohil, son of the maharaja of Rajpipla, was something else. Here was a character whose relationship with his royal lineage was far more revealing."

"Almost as interesting as the Banteay Chhmar was the chance to interact with John Sanday, the driving force behind its restoration. John related how he vaulted from a mundane job in Britain to Asia to revive some of its greatest monuments."
HONG KONG
Asia's premier metropolis, Hong Kong is one of the most congested cities on Earth. We commissioned one of France's top photographers to focus his lens on the city's key component, its people, and were awed by the spectacular results.
MYANMAR
The peripheries of Myanmar are among Asia's least-travelled regions, where ancient traditions persist to this day. In Chin State, which borders Bangladesh, the tattooed faces of women are a remarkable reminder of South-East Asia's cultural diversity.
MALDIVES
PManta rays are among the least loved but most gracious creatures of the deep. Sought after for their gills and oil, these gentle giants have been hunted to near-extinction in many parts of the world. We meet a man in the Maldives who's out to save them.
