I did a huge loop around the neighborhood for my morning run, ending near the big morning market by the hotel. I went up to the same coffee lady as the day before. There two girls were ahead of me ordering coffee. Once they were done, I didn’t even say anything and she started making … More 6/27/18: Traveling to SRI LANKA!
Isabeau had to leave for her flight at 7:30, so we all said bye to each other before she got in her cab to the airport. I went for a run. I did 1 mile warm up, then 2 minutes hard pace followed by 1 minute recovery for 2 miles, then 1 mile cool down, … More 6/26/18: Running Around Bangkok
Adrian and I had breakfast down in the lobby of our hotel in Bangkok around 10 am. I had some of my leftover rambutan and sweet potato with coffee. We went back to bed for a bit and got up around noon. I needed to get some batteries for my recorder; I had an interview … More 6/25/18: Finally Getting Some Protein
We were woken up at 5:30 by the station management. They needed us to get out of bed so they could convert the beds into normal seats. It was fascinating to watch— they somehow took the bunk beds and turned them into normal train benches, like Transformers. We watched the sunrise from the train, which … More 6/24/18: Street Fights, Street Food, Street Dancing (Bangkok)
I started my morning with a long run. The first 4 miles were pretty uneventful— I just had to get through some hills and fatigue. But then, on my way back from Long Beach to the bungalow, a big black dog saw me from his house and ran full-speed toward me. He showed his teeth … More 6/23/18: Night Train To Bangkok
I woke up and went for a run on the trails. It was finally sunny out! The bungalow dogs followed me part of the way, which was really sweet. About a mile away from the bungalow, I saw a scary-looking dog guarding one of the buildings. I was too afraid to go past it, thinking … More 6/21/18: The Only 3 Tourists On Koh Chang
We took our time on this rainy, dreary morning in Ranong. Our ferry to Koh Chang wasn’t until 2, so we had time to spare. I ordered porridge from Kiwi Orchid’s restaurant, which turned out to be super sweet oats. I couldn’t really finish it, it was so sweet. Adrian and I finished watching the … More 6/20/18: Low-Key Thailand: Koh Chang Noi
I started my 5-mile run along the river in Krabi. About a mile down, the path turned into a big park with tons of people doing their morning exercise– some jogging, some walking, others playing basketball, and still others doing tai-chi. I rarely get to exercise among others in Asia, so it was really nice … More 6/19/18: Slow Journey To Koh Chang Noi
We woke up around 8 am and went to Khun Niyom for our final meal on Phi Phi. I had fried rice with green curry, which was, of course, phenomenal. I’m really going to miss this place. Not necessarily the island, but the restaurant. We checked out of the guest house and walked to the … More 6/18/18: Vegan Street Food In Krabi
I tried to go for a run, but I was unsure where to go since this island is so tiny. I first ran to Long Beach, going through beaches and random tracks along the way. Once I got there, I turned back and ran to the main pier by Ton Sai town. I went all … More 6/17/18: Phi Phi Makes You Koo Koo
