The Daring Duckling

The Daring Duckling isn’t a travel guide. It’s a collection of strange nights, loud cities, hidden bars, chance encounters, and the kind of moments that crack something open inside you.
From Phuket dive bars and Chiang Mai jazz clubs to Bangkok hi-fi listening rooms and underground warehouses, Salman Mattar documents Thailand through obsession, music, design, food, chaos, and the people you only meet when you stay out too late.
Raw, funny, restless, and deeply personal, The Daring Duckling is for the curious — the ones who travel not to escape life, but to feel more of it.
