I don’t eat to live, I live to eat.
Photo of the day: Pad Thai on the streets of Yaowarat. Photo credit: Aaron. I am very sad to say that this brings us to our last day in Thailand, as well as our last day in Southeast Asia. We will be heading north to acclimatize our bodies to the cold winters of Canada; however,… Continue reading Asia Day 40: Reflection – Thailand
Photo of the day: The view from our villa @ Paradise Koh Yao. Photo credit: Aaron. Exploring cities have been really fun and exciting, but we wanted to plan a little 3-day getaway during this part of our trip before heading to vibrant mega-cities. It also gave us a chance to celebrate our anniversary/valentine's day/Aaron's… Continue reading Asia Day 37-39: Ko Yao Noi
Photo of the day: Red curry with chicken @ Krua Charifa. Photo credit: Aaron. It was time for another rest day! We spent most of the day making good use of the co-working space and pool at the hotel. For lunch, we wanted to give Krua Charifa another try since I watch Mark Wien's video on it… Continue reading Asia Day 36: Phuket
Photo of the day: Long tail boat on Maya Bay. Photo credit: Aaron. One thing was missing from our trip so far - beach time. So we decided to dedicate a whole day to it. We joined a Phi Phi Islands (pronounced Pee-Pee) tour organized by Phuket Sail Tours, again based on thousands of excellent… Continue reading Asia Day 35: Phuket (Phi Phi Islands)
Photo of the day: The streets of Phuket Old Town. Photo credit: Aaron. We started the morning enjoying a pretty good breakfast at the hotel. There was a good selection of Thai stir-fries, served with plain congee. They also had western selections, such as banana bread, toast and croissants. The most interesting section was the… Continue reading Asia Day 34: Phuket (Old Town – Traditional Thai Massage)
Photo of the day: View from plane of the southern islands of Thailand. Photo credit: Aaron. We are ready for yet another travel day. Even though we are not moving around as much as in Vietnam, it still gets tiring. Inertia is real. I really enjoyed my stay in Chiang Mai. I would say it's… Continue reading Asia Day 33: Chiang Mai – Phuket
Photo of the day: the smoky BBQ chicken @ ไก่ย่างวิเชียรบุรี. Photo credit: Aaron. I finally found a convenient place and time to take a Zumba class! It was Fitness Thailand, just a 15 minute walk away. It was a decent-sized gym in a shopping complex. The gym pass was 200 THB/day (~$8). There was a… Continue reading Asia Day 32: Chiang Mai (Zumba in Thailand – BBQ chicken – CAMP Co-Working space – Ping River boat cruise)
Photo of the day: Orange robes marking the Monk's Trail. Photo credit: Aaron. Today we are going to hike up Doi Suthep. Many have heard of Wat Phra That Doi Suthep but not many heard of hiking up the mountain to see it. The usual transportation method is to take a Song Thaew up, but… Continue reading Asia Day 31: Chiang Mai (Doi Suthep)
Photo of the day: Seafood Mini-omelettes @ The Sunday Night Market. Photo credit: Aaron. It was Sunday, so we decided to take it easy. We started with some breakfast at SS1254372 Cafe. It was surprisingly good. Aaron had the Massaman Sandwich and we later overheard that it was the best item on their menu. Who… Continue reading Asia Day 30: Chiang Mai (Thai movie date – Sunday Night Market – Tuk Tuk ride)
Photo of the day: The cooking station @ Zabb E Lee Thai Cooking School. We decided today will be a chill day for us. We just had breakfast at home and Aaron went out to a coffee shop to get some work done, while I stayed in bed. I was tired of being sick for… Continue reading Asia Day 29: Chiang Mai (Zabb E Lee Thai Cooking School)
