It’s Raining Men (Thailand Travel Diary #22)

It’s interesting what tiredness and discomfort can do to one’s confidence. After the 10-hour journey to Koh Tao, which ended with the Vomit Ferry, I hid in my bungalow all night and most of the next day. I was told that a recent typhoon near Vietnam had brought the foul

Old Town (Thailand Travel Diary #28)

I found myself slipping back into old habits. As a Gen-Whatever, if there is a screen in front of us, I’m sure many would want to see what it can display. Well, my friend (with whom I had been staying with for a while) has a MASSIVE TV, with ALL
