Live Like A Local
I’m not a massage guy. I should be, considering that I live in Southeast Asia, the massage capital of the world. No matter where I go in Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, or the Philippines, where I currently reside, there are massage parlors and spas everywhere. No matter if I’m staying in […]
(Image from Pixabay) Thailand has other magnificent destinations aside from the popular ones like Bangkok, Phuket, Krabi, and other islands, but Chiang Mai rarely makes it to casual conversations about the country. The truth is, it’s a hidden gem everyone should visit. There’s something unique about this city that makes […]
Salad! That’s what I’m craving perpetually, as a good bowl of the green stuff dressed up properly is one of the most satisfying dishes on earth. It’s also one of the healthiest things you can eat, which is also why my body craves it. Back when I lived in the […]
It’s hard to find a good barber in Asia. But of course, like everything, I shouldn’t generalize. The quality of haircutting services for men (it’s probably much better and more consistent for women) varies greatly per country and even region.

‘Let’s go get Mexican!” That was the rallying cry last Sunday night here in Pattaya, Thailand, where I’m spending the month hanging out with my main man, Big Scotty the Body, a former U.S. police officer who just retired here. Big Scotty, all 220 pounds of chiseled muscle and tattoos […]
The other morning here in Koh Samui, Thailand, after a spirited night of drinking local Chang beer and walking all around the fun Lamai Beach area, I had a hankering for a serious breakfast. No simple eggs and bacon morning grub would do, but, luckily, I remembered passing a sign […]
I have this dream in life. I’ve had it for a long time. I’ve relived it in my mind so many times that you might even say it’s become a fantasy. First, the fantasy involves me quitting my job (of course). But instead of just offering my two week’s notice […]
