Happy New Year from Thailand! May 2026 bring you all of the reward and success you earn and may the shadows and scars of 2025 be lessons learned and reminders of what The People must do to persevere. Stay strong, eyes open, head on a swivel, do not comply in advance. #arepublicifyoucankeepit ✊🏽

If you get to Koh Tao and want to get some refresher dives in, check out La Bombona Diving. Great staff, our Divemaster Daniel gave a superb refresher course and was a great U/W guide, and the co-owner, Rocio, made sure everything was taken care of. Don’t use Apple Maps!!! Look for Smoking Dead Bar.

Happy Holidays to all the cultists around the world from Koh Tao, Thailand.

A few shots from my walk around Pattaya today. #pattaya #thailand #walkingstreet

A few shots from last week’s visit to Ayutthaya.

For those in #Pattaya looking for a solid smash burger, check out Kraken Lanta on Soi 5. This is the CHEESUS CHRIST…four smashed patties with red onion (240g in total), four slices of cheddar cheese, and kraken sauce. The draft is called 2 Towns Ciderhouse Outcider from Oregon. Good stuff! 🤤🤤🤤

As I say farewell to The Sun on 20 January 2025 from Jomtien, Thailand, the same Sun rises on the U.S. to the dawn of a christofascist kleptocracy. It’s hard not to be disgusted with every registered voter who had the ability to prevent what’s about to happen, but didn’t. Good luck out there.
