A few weekends ago we were invited to join in on a youth retreat to nearby Khao Yai National Park, just a few hours outside of Bangkok. It was a simple overnight trip and we were happy to be asked to join them. It really was a great few days. We visited some nearby waterfalls, [...]
Some things are easier to admit than others. We all have issues (some of us more than others… (I’m probably one of those “some of us”)) but admitting them isn’t easy… We started our journey in Thailand nearly 5 years ago when Sara and I came to Thailand as college students looking for a 6 [...]

So, we’ve been at this language learning thing for quite a while… About a year and a half to be exact. In that time I’ve managed to tell an office full of bankers that I am gay, learn to read and write in Thai, and have been able to build some decent relationships with Thai [...]
Last week was Thailand’s Loy Krathong festival. This year marks the 3rd time we have been in Thailand during this beautiful and fun festival. Fireworks, lights, lanterns, markets, live music, food, family and friends… It’s all become a really enjoyable time for us and our Thai friends.
