25 YEARS EXPAT RETIRED in THAILAND & The "REAL" Cost of Living || PETE ATKINSON (E92)

Pete Atkison is an award-winning underwater photographer and Author of the popular book – ‘Polynesia an Ocean Realm’.

Pete was born and raised in the UK and attended Bangor University, North Wales where he studied marine zoology. In 1982 he bought Eila, a 1935 classic yacht, which he sailed all over Polynesia, taking photos and writing articles. Pete’s journey to Phuket took him around the world on a yacht for 23 years. Shooting underwater photos, swimming with sharks, and living his dream of being Jacques Cousteau. After finding love, Pete and Thai photographer Darin Limsuansub got married and decided to set anchor in the beautiful Andaman Sea.

Don’t miss out on this expedition as we sail through Pete’s lifelong adventure as an underwater photographer and writer. We take a deeper look at what it would be like to travel mostly alone across the South Pacific, how one prepares for such a journey and find out more about the trials and tribulations one must endure when spending your life at sea. 

Join us for another grand adventure with the Fruiting Body podcast, our guest Pete Atkison shares with us his stories about his time taking pictures of sharks, writing articles for Sailing Magazines, and finding his treasure. 

Learn more about Phuket’s marine life, the Polynesian islands, and if the flat earth theory is true.
