Escape to Pattaya

A few relatives and I randomly decided to drive out to Pattaya for some seaside adventure. This was something we did often growing up, but it's been a while — at least 5 years — since I remember being here on the water. At least half of us live in the US now, so it was a pleasant reunion with the ocean.

Forever in our hearts

Today marks one of the saddest days in Thailand: our King, after 70 years on the throne (the world's longest-reigning monarch) has passed away at the age of 88. His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej is very loved by the entire nation.

Spend a day in Ayutthaya

This past summer, I had the opportunity to take some of my MIT friends who were visiting Thailand around. We went on a half-day trip to Ayutthaya, an ancient capital of Thailand located 85 km north of Bangkok.
