Another reason to be thankful for where I live? I took these photos yesterday within an hour’s drive from my house – Khun DanDam, Khao Yai National Park, Thailand Nang Rong Falls, Khao Yai National Park, Thailand Thailand is so beautiful.

It’s been killing me (figuratively, of course) not being able to write anything on here about all that’s gone down in the last two and a half weeks.  Seriously.  So much has changed. We moved. No longer residents of Lopburi, Thailand… now citizens of greater Bangkok.  And, it’s wonderful.  Seriously wonderful.  I honestly can’t begin [...]

If you follow me either on Facebook or Twitter, I am sure you’ve seen numerous messages regarding our upcoming move to Bangkok later this week. Can you tell we’re excited?! Along with the flurry of good emotions that seem to be flying around right now, there are a few that aren’t so great, too. Moving [...]

Indiana Jones would NOT have wanted to come into our house this morning.  No, sir!  Why?  Because we had a snake in our living room.  Yes, INSIDE the house.  I am still shuddering at the thought of it.  Yes, I love all creatures great and small, but when it slithers and I don’t know enough [...]

So, today our errand-running didn’t start out the greatest. After a week of either the post office being closed or being completely inaccessible due to the Songkraan holiday, we were ready to pick up whatever had arrived. Among whatever mail may have come, there is certainly at least one package from home, possibly two. You [...]

In the picture above, you’ll see a group of fellow students and teachers, with myself, from the language center where Brook and I are currently studying.  Last Saturday, we had a special session all about the celebration of Songkran and the traditions that come along with it in Thai society.  After the session, we were [...]

The second day of water fun has now ended, and I am all the more tired from it.  We went out for another round of riding (slowly) on our motorbike throughout the city, being sure to take side streets the whole way.  After all, that’s where the action is, right?  Absolutely.  There were a LOT [...]
