August 12th of every year is a National Holiday here in Thailand as the Thai people celebrate H.M. the Queen’s birthday. This same day is also the day in which the Thai people celebrate Mother’s Day as they view Queen Sirikit to be the Mother of the Thai Nation. For the past few weeks we [...]
I’ve received numerous emails, Facebook messages and Twitter replies about all that has happened here in our new, fare city of Bangkok over the past several months. We appreciate all of your concern and prayers but I assure you we are doing just fine. There is still a LOT of unknowns having to do with [...]

So, it’s pretty obvious that I have been the world’s worst blogger since the first of the year. For that I am sorry… I’ve been meaning to get some new content up on here for a while now but, truth be told, I didn’t know how to just jump back into it. I’ve decided there [...]
