HARRY
PATON
After stints in his
native England and
the Middle East as an
art curator and (not
entirely successful)
entrepreneur, Harry
moved to Asia and
took up his writing
tools. Putting aside
dreams of one day
playing at Augusta,
Georgia, Harry rounds
up the spectacular golf
courses in the region.

SIMON
OSTHE IMER
Writer and editor
Simon was raised in
Hong Kong, has lived
across Asia and is now
based in Phuket – so
he’s perfectly placed
to write about the
island’s phenomenal
expansion. His
favourite place in
Phuket? “The Old
Town, for its cool
artists, food, vibrant
culture and history.”

England’s bitter
winters for the
clammier climes
of Cambodia 18
months ago. She is a
frequent contributor
of stories on her

resurgence of the
ancient martial art of
yuthakun khom.
