My trip to Thailand was pretty eventful. Some good, some bad, some painful… I unload it all here. Some of what I talk about: All the things I forgot about Southeast Asia Snorkeling/jungle trekking/paddle boarding in Koh Chang Eating eggs for the first time in 4 years Spending NYE in the hospital The rooftop bar … More #95: My Drama-filled Trip To Thailand (NYE 2018)
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 slept in until 9, so happy to have finally gotten enough sleep after many consecutive days of waking up with sleep debt. I had oats again for breakfast, this time with watermelon and pineapple. I desperately needed clean clothes, so I did some laundry in the bungalow bathroom using a bucket and some soap … More 6/22/18: Eat, Beach, Repeat
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
We got our day started around 9:30 as we walked toward the produce markets for some fruit. We saw a stand selling various bao, so we bought a black bean one to share. Across the street was a fruit stand that was also selling fried coconut patties, so we bought one of those too. We … More 6/16/18: Caught In A Tropical Storm (Phi Phi)
I started the day with a slow and steady 5-mile run around northern Koh Lanta. There weren’t too many stray dogs, but there was one big white guy who started barking really aggressively at me… I had to yell “hey!” multiple times in my scary dog-evader voice before he gave up and left me alone. … More 6/15/18: Partying In Phi Phi
