About


Aimed at Creative individuals from the fashion, film and design industries who are looking for "something different", Far From the Maddening Crowd offers a carefully selected escape from the "norm".
We curate a carefully selected “best of the best” niche Hotels and Resorts around the world.

Our featured Escapes stand out from the crowd of so-called "design" "cool" and "hip" places found on commercial websites, we don't sell rooms.
We feature the places we Love.

As local colour is just as important to us as the Places we stay, we hunt out those rare shops, restaurants, galleries, and street life that "frame" our chosen havens.

The site is curated by Our Photographer/Writer Christian Hogue and a crew of creative friends and associates based out of Bangkok and London. Christian has shot for Conde Nast Traveller UK, Travel and Leisure Asia, Honeymoon + Travel and various local magazines both print and online such as lifestyleasia.com, BK magazine and Various inflight magazines such as Bangkok Airways, Hong Kong Airlines and Philippines Airways.
Christian also has a long history in digital art and media that compliments his passion for photography both digital and analogue.
