Right: How it’s going ❤️
What a difference a year makes.
I’m so grateful for the rescuers who found him, the team of vets & staff that brought him back to life, and the opportunity to have him as part of our family now. He is a true joy.

Your reply made me realize why my parents do the same-I never thought of it as food insecurity, but they grew up with nothing and a meal was never guaranteed. I’m realizing now they just never wanted my siblings and I to be hungry in the same way they had experienced 😭
Thailand monsoon season is in full swing. Today’s crazy sea conditions for speedboats in the Andaman 😳

I’m finally home!!! 🤗🇹🇭 Its been a longgggg journey after getting sick in the US, waiting to recover, and being away from everyone I love - I’m so happy to be back in Thailand 😊

🐕 They are true warriors! Luka’s was due to being cut on his forehead and it became infected by the time he was found. His fur doesn’t grow back anymore and he has some problems with the exposed skin being sensitive. It gets scratches and scabs easily but besides that it doesn’t
This time one year ago: I was in Surat Thani and it was like being in the movie set of Avatar. Probably one of the most beautiful places I’ve been to in Thailand 🇹🇭
Sometimes my relatives ask if I ever want to move away overseas. Well here is a rainy day in Koh Lanta and its still beautiful as ever, so the answer is ‘no’ I absolutely love it here despite all the flaws Thailand may have 🇹🇭
We don’t really have waves in Thailand 🌊 One time I went to Bali but I couldn’t get into the water because their waves scare me 😂 I was a chicken 🐔
This is Krabi baby-level waves… even an ant cannot surf here:
It could only be described as magical when the plane was approaching Krabi.
It was during sunset and the skies turned completely pink. I have only seen this one other time before.
Some moments just take your breath away.
3 steps to fit into Thai culture 🇹🇭
✅Buy the lottery 2x/month.
✅Check the winning numbers. Discuss with local friends & strangers how close you were.
✅Go back to work on Monday. Keep an eye for signs of the divine in everything for the next winning numbers - repeat step 1.
The airport in Bangkok is starting to come back to life!
What crowd as the sun was rising this morning.
Brb Thailand, I’m going to find some Doritos minus the import tax 😆🇺🇸
Last weekend before flying back to Krabi: life comes full circle when I could bring my dad to the Thai restaurant my family has been going to since my childhood but now I can pay for the meal and my dad can sit back 🙂
Non-anxiety person: wow what a beautiful beach. I love Ao Nang.
My brain: I’m pretty sure the coconut is going to fall off this tree and hit my head any moment now
I am Ching, born in Krungthep Maha Nakhon, Kingdom of Siam. It is true, we ride elephants to school and use banana leaves as blankets to keep us warm at night. A warm welcome all to my beautiful country, Ratcha Anachak Thai 🇹🇭
BTW, after fierce debate late last night, the Royal Academy says we can still use
#Bangkok
interchangeably with Krung Thep Maha Nakhon as the capital of
#Thailand
in English. That's even more perplexing. Welcome to Bangkok Krung Thep Maha Nakhon folks!

I finally found a photo that captures how beautiful the road here is, taken by Krabi blogger named Bank (แบงค์)
This stretch from Krabi to Ao Luek is known to locals as ‘the old forest road’ 🌳

I like following Thai bloggers because of all the places they discover in domestic 🇹🇭
This video of Phayao is by tonkeerati () who has so many places I keep adding to my travel wish list
4 days ago there was a stray cat at my door staring through the glass.
She’s now employed me as her part-time assistant, providing her 2 meals a day and on-demand attention while she looks for more permanent staff.
Everyone please meet my new boss, Pandora.
No malls, no 7-Elevens, no hotels, not even electricity during the day, but Koh Surin is one of my fav place to go camping in Thailand.
The National Park prepares tent, sleeping bags, and all the meals. Most importantly they have ice-cream available 😆 10/10
If I had a photo of Thailand to frame, it wouldn’t be a full scenery view. I would probably pick a view from the boat like today. It doesn’t matter which island you go to, the boats are all similar and for me they bring lots of great memories
Any business owners here remember the excitement of the very first sale you ever made?
This weekend I launched my first ever after hours passion-project to inspire more ppl to read books
After lots of hard work my little online bookstore went live 😊 and I had my 1st reader
Nobody heard any more updates about my foster Truffle the little devil dog because I failed miserably. My family decided to send him to canine pup academy, he graduated today with his purple turtle, and tomorrow he’ll begin his journey to Krabi to live with us…forever.
I’m happy to report that taking a car from Krabi to Koh Lanta is super easy.
1 hr drive to ‘Ferry Ticket Office Lanta’ frm Krabi airport (Google maps search), buy a ticket from the comfort of car & then drive onto boat.
Took about 15 mins to reach the island ⛴🙂
Hello from Seattle, the-city-where-hotel-check-in-is-at-4pm-and-the-room-is-not-yet-ready-but-my-flight-arrived-at-10am, so I walked around taking photos of their beautiful trees
The reason why we climb are for views like this. Yesterday at Railay Beach I felt like I could accomplish anything..today my body is paying for it and needs tylenol 😆🫠
Hong Island from above เกาะห้อง กระบี่ 🇹🇭🌴 If you visit its worth walking up the stairs to the top.
You might hate life on the way up like I did but will get rewarded with a million dollar view 🙂
I bought some homemade scones from a local lady here in Krabi.
Her husband is an artist and unleashes his creativity on the boxes before she packs the scones in them for delivery.
Well I inhaled the delicious scones...and will be keeping this box forever 🧡
Oh what fun it is to ride in a long tail boat on a rainy day hey! 😆
Here with me is my brother, sister and mom visiting from Bangkok. I wanted to show them the beauty of our southern islands - tadahhhhh
One of the highlights of my trip to Taiwan is their nature here 🌿
Best part is almost everywhere we go is wheelchair-friendly for my dad (even the trail to this waterfall
He sees more places compared to Thailand that doesn’t accommodate for wheelchairs
We wanted to get a cake for my mom yesterday but the neighborhood dessert shop doesn’t sell whole cakes. They put together all the pieces and we ended up with one super cake 🥳🎂
Someone on Thai social media made a poster for Joe Biden donating Pfizer to Thailand with a Thai-country-style mood & tone 😂👌🏽 I can see him retiring in Thailand in the future somewhere maybe in Northeast region
This is what Nan looks like right now in northern Thailand - the rainy season does have its benefits 🌧
Nan is one of those places where life slows down. I wouldn’t mind reading a book, looking over the rice fields on a rainy day there
A proud moment to be Thai and to live in Thailand. I used to think our islands & beaches is what makes our country alluring, but no, I was wrong - it is because we have the best shuttle service.

Ok little buddy you are all set. Van is here and I wish you and your little turtle a safe journey from BKK to Krabi 𓆉 see you soon and can’t wait to begin our adventure together 🤗
