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)
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 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 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
