I arranged for my cousin’s company to stay at the Dusit Thani Hotel at the end of Beach Road, and the level of service was excellent.
We stayed in a spacy family room on the 8th floor and were very pleased with the renovations the hotel has completed.
Were we really eating yakiniku together just last week?
Life’s a fuckin’ trip…
Gonna miss you, bro.
I love this truck and it’s actually been my only vehicle with twin 12″ subs, but daddy needs a minivan.
The truck is registered in Bangkok, but is currently in Maha Sarakham, Thailand. It is a 2013 model. The engine is the 2.4 petrol version that runs on 91 gasohol or E20. I bought the car a year and a half ago because my Crown got ruined in the great floods of 2021. The engine is just over 200k and was inspected and overhauled when I bought it. It runs flawlessly. This is a fun car to cruise in and the air conditioning is ice cold. Battery was replaced this week. Headlight assemblies are new; actual headlights are LEDs. Price is 185,000 baht OBO.

I can tell you I’m in Thailand without telling you I’m in Thailand.
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.
We just came back from a back-to-back four day trip to Pattaya and 8 day trip to Japan. I will try and document some of it here. The Pattaya trip was a 40-person corporate trip for my cousin’s company in Japan that Nam and I organized; it turned out well. It all started out with a double-decker bus we chartered to pick up the group at BKK. It was a pretty awesome setup and the driver, Noi, was very cool.
We are off to Pattaya to help out with my cousin’s company trip for a few days, then shortly after, to Japan for ten days.
