Faithful Steed
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
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.

I’m not entirely sure if this means what I think it means… Taken at a resort we stayed at on Koh Chang.

Thailand’s best Crispy Pork resto
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
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.

Fire Safety
This is a pretty common demonstration at schools and government offices in this country. Seemingly. the more run down the venue is, the crazier the demonstrations are. I’ve seen them light the flames and wave the gas cylinders over their heads like Donkey Kong before.

Toyota 2000GT Sighting in BKK
Somebody drove their original Toyota 2000GT through Bangkok traffic to a classic car show last week. What a legend! This must be the same car I wrote about being kept in an underground garage a couple years ago: Toyota 2000GT in Thailand Credit goes to Kai Vorra-asd on Facebook: LINK
