    Faithful Steed

    December 25, 2024 /

    My daily ride, a 2005 Honda Wave 100S. A friend sold it to me cheap when he moved away. The most reliable vehicle I’ve ever owned.

    BBQ Prawns

    December 24, 2024 /

    Hope to shovel more of these guys in my tummy later this week. Some friends are coming from Japan, so we are doing an end of year trip to see them in Pattaya, Bang Saen, and Bangkok. Ironically, it’s hard to find good seafood near the sea in popular places here, so we have to scope out good places online before we go. Over the past decade, Google Maps has become the best in gauging places from their reviews, and more importantly, the kind of people posting them.

    Noodle Nirvana

    I’m currently on an extended keto and IF experiment which is turning out very well. Starchy noodles, like my beloved bami egg noodles, pictured above, are off the table. But I can dream.

    Thailand’s best Crispy Pork resto

    December 3, 2024 /

    We found the holy grail of crispy pork shops on Koh Chang over the summer. Everybody on that trip still talks about it. We were there to visit students interning on the island, so I was with a couple coworker pals and we brought Max along as well. Tee drove us to Bangkok, where we stayed at his condo for a night, then we set out for a few days of island life. This was probably the best meal of the whole trip because the prices were cheap (less than 2 dollars a dish) and the portions were huge! Of course, the place is a total hole in the wall,…

    Random soi dog

    December 1, 2024 /

    Thai soi (street) dogs are mostly chill. This huge concrete lot near our house was supposed to be a fresh market years ago, but before it was completed, there was a huge storm. It toppled the poorly-constructed first market area roof and someone was killed by the falling roof while several others were injured. As it turns out, it was built too low and gets flooded a foot deep for the entire duration of rainy season anyway. This doggo and his friends run around here freely now.
