More Noro-san Videos
Noro-san apparently gained a few kilos on his trip to Thailand. Come to think of it, he never stopped eating!
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, and run by the friendliest people.
The name of the shop? YUMMY
Looking Back
This year has been filled with business trips, mainly to Pattaya for some reason. Just looking back on some photos from May.
Max is stuck waiting on a delayed flight
It’s taking him more than a day and a half to get back home due to multiple Delta delays. Death by boredom, the opposite of Thai transportation!
Back in the Kham
We sent Max off today with a good family friend who’s also living in the same area of the Pacific Northwest. It was great having him back for a month and a half after such a long time. I’m straight back into the thick of it here. but I’ll be posting memories from his visit for a while.
The Dogs of Lad Prao
For as long as we’ve been visiting Nam’s auntie and uncle on Lad Prao 33, there have been a huge pack of dogs running the middle area of the street. During the day, they lounge around in the heat and disappear through holes in nearby gates, but at night, they run around free. It is scary walking there alone at night. The neighbors all complain about the danger and the shits left all over the place, to no avail… We’ve been going and staying there for decades, so we have probably seen several generations of this wild pack.
Got back from Koh Chang
I took Max along on a (university business) road trip with my two pals. It was epic.
Kalanbatu Reggae Bar at Khao San
Actually on Soi Rambuttri.
We walked by after dinner, Taro knew the owner and the band. He unslung his travel guitar and immediately hopped in. Music ensued. I posted a much longer vid as a livestream on FB: T jamming at Kalanbatu on Khao San Road
Eagle’s Nest
I cannot bear to use the actual spelling of the bar’s name, it just bothers me. There’s no denying they have one of the best views of Wat Arun at night, though. This is in the neighborhood of Wat Po, the famous massage school temple, just across the river.
