Quiet Time

Lazy afternoon at the beach. The best part of my trip. Free to take a swim whenever you want, getting up at noon to have breakfast with the sound of the ocean as your gentle alarm. Can't get any better than this.

Not the way to look while on the road.

As much as I would like to lie and tell you this photo was staged, this is really how I looked when I was walking around in Bangkok. At least you don't see the water bottle dangling behind me hooked on my small body bag. :-) You got all the elements here: Camera around the neck, fumbling about with a big map, shorts and flipflops. Such a tourist! But I do look a bit like a Thai local, so at least they don't give me tourist prices! Gee bhat?

The Leaning Buddha

This is how the Gods would look like if they decide to take a day off. Thailand did this to me. Made me sit back, relax and stop playing God over my life and what affects it. Stop trying to control everything and just let go. Live.

The Flying Tuktuks

The Tuktuk - Thailand's very own local Taxi. You pay 40BHT not for the ride, but for the experience.

My Hotel: Thailand Stylin'

This is my Five Star accomodation in Thailand. Centralized ac, plush bed. Enviro Friendly lighting. No electricity. Living with the bare minimum lets you see and hear yourself better. "You are not the contents of your wallet... You are not your car... You are not your damn Khakis..."

The Local Tribes

The beauty of seeing people keep their way of life in Thailand is overwhelming. Simplistic and uncluttered, they make you think about the things you worry about and make you realize that one should contemplate about what matters in our so called lives. What is truly essential is invisible to the eye.

Old Beauty

This was the amazing view from my BHT200/night room in Bangkok. I find it amazing how they were able to keep the old architecture, even though I'm right smack in the middle of the Capital City, mainly because of their buddhist religion. It's just beautiful to look at special early morning.

Booze

Nothing beats walking around the streets of Thailand with a big bottle of their Local Beer. Chang Beer or Elephant Beer is a must have to to help you relax while enjoying the sunset at the beach or just strolling around the busy streets of Bangkok.
