Karen Sinotok is a successful lifestyle journalist and senior director at a top-selling women’s monthly magazine. She started her writing career as a pop columnist in the 80s before moving to New York. After a life-changing trip to Thailand, where she fell in love with both the country and the people – in particular a fun-loving Thai hippy at a Full Moon Party – she has since split her time between Thailand and the UK. She and her Thai husband are currently based in Hove with their son, Siam.

Her book, The Little Book of Sanuk, an exploration of the Thai secret to a more joyful life, will be published by HarperCollins in summer 2024.
