Most Memorable Travel Experience
Lipe island: I love that moment. This paradise gave me a chance to meet good friends!

Koh Pangan: My first solo trip and I really loved it, and trying to go there every year, cheers to my favorite beach "Tong Nai Pan".

Loas: I was very excited when the police caught my friend and I just because he played djimbe in public :O

USA: My first time in the US. Traveled alone from Thailand to visit my cousins. When landed in Chicago, I was detained at the US immigration for 4 hours. They took a photo of me and my fingerprints as if i kill somebody :S The thing was, the photo in the passport didn't look like me .. but that's really me! :S

Italy/England/Korea: I must go back! Love!

Trekking in Nepal: They said "Trekking can prove the relationship between you and your trekking partner". Forever friends or short time friends, now I already got the answer.

India: Ohhhh ... more than words!
Profile
My journey has started since I was a kid. My dad drove us to travel around Thailand almost every weekend. Later to the nearest countries in SEA. Thank him so much to let me know how great traveling is.

Later I started travel with friends, mostly been to the beach. My solo trip just started 6 years ago, but I used to traveled alone to Chicago to visit my cousins 13 years ago, and stayed there for almost a year. After back from Chi town I started finding a job in Bangkok, my hometown, and after got a the first job I haven’t had a chance to have a holiday more than two weeks.

Working in the office isn’t that fun, people need a break, I need a break so between 2007-2008, I quit a job to travel. That’s when I’ve been to Nepal, India, England and Italy (total around 6 months). Lucky that I got a job within one week after back from the trip! My career is a conceptual Thai writer for advertising. It would be nice if I could find the client who lets me write from wherever I am but now I’m still working in the office, the new office. I’m thinking about the next long journey, it might be not so easy but I’m trying hard to have one.

Well, life is beautiful so just enjoy it when we’re still alive.
