Who Is James Fox?

I'm a travel writer, memoirist, and storyteller with a sharp eye for chaos and character. With over 20 years spent living across Asia—mostly in Bangkok—my work dives into the gritty, hilarious, and often unbelievable realities of life on the edge. From drug-fueled bus rides across Europe to run-ins with the law in Southeast Asia, I turn true experiences into page-turning tales that blend dark humor, cultural insight, and raw honesty.

My debut memoir, Hangovers & Handcuffs: Tales of Travel, Trouble, and Other Poor Life Decisions, chronicles a life lived without a safety net—chasing adventure, dodging disaster, and finding meaning in the mess. Whether I'm writing for print, digital platforms, or social media, my goal is the same: to make readers laugh, wince, and come away with a story they’ll never forget.
