As I was packing to leave Queenstown, I began to realize that I am completely delusional. Does everyone pack like this? Or is it just me?

Almost ALL the white guys are with Thai bar girls. Occasionally they’re young and attractive guys, but the vast majority are much older and/or morbidly obese. Which is absolutely fine – everybody deserves a […]

And below is Saohin, one of my favorite trainers, doing his famous warm-up. He tries to get me all excited so I’ll jump in and join him, but I mostly just cower in the corner, watching him and complaining about my back.   It’s […]

In the video you can get a sense […]

Unfortunately, if you’re here for longer than a month, you must physically leave the country first, even if you immediately come back in. You can do this up to two times, for a total Tourist Visa stay […]

Which is actually a great place to be. Usually when we travel we’re so busy running around and seeing everything and doing everything that we just don’t have […]

I had heard the Phuket Vegetarian Festival was a big celebration here, but I was in no way prepared for what was to come… Of course I assumed there would just be lots of good food, innovative […]

I had heard about this “sex tourism” thing in Thailand, but I wasn’t prepared for exactly what that meant. First of all, prostitution in Thailand is illegal. (I did my homework…) However, before my arrival I read the following “tip” on the official TMT […]

I had no idea what that meant, until the guy at the counter told me it was 500 baht for a ticket ($14.70), which is standard for the […]

LOL — that is hilarious. I was actually sipping a frosty beer and lounging ringside during this fight. Although I did have to work the camera, and sometimes my finger would cramp up. Nothing a week off from training and a ton […]
