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 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)

Who… Continue reading Asia Day 30: Chiang Mai (Thai movie date – Sunday Night Market – Tuk Tuk ride)

I was tired of being sick for… Continue reading Asia Day 29: Chiang Mai (Zabb E Lee Thai Cooking School)
Photo of the day: Wat Suan Dok. So last evening, I was looking up meditation retreats and only found one, which offered a one-day retreat. Apparently, a proper retreat should be at least 10 days and some were offered up to 26 days! I was just looking for an introduction to meditation so I thought… Continue reading Asia Day 28: Chiang Mai (Wat Suan Dok)
Photo of the day: Khao Soi @ ข้าวซอยแม่สาย. Photo credit: Aaron. We arrived at Chiang Mai at around 10am, which is more than one hour after its scheduled time but that's ok with us since our check-in time for the Airbnb is after 10am anyway. We, by default, called an Uber but there wasn't a… Continue reading Asia Day 27: Chiang Mai (Khao Soi – Huen Phen)
Photo of the day: Kaeng Kari Moo (Pork curry) @ Khao Gaeng Jake Puey. It is our last day in Bangkok. We will be taking the overnight train to Chiang Mai tonight. We saw most of what we wanted to see here. Since we had an early morning start yesterday, we did not want to… Continue reading Asia Day 26: Bangkok (Wat Pho – Overnight train to Chiang Mai)
