Greetings,
I don’t know what the appropriate “label” (judgement? – LOL) would be for me and my behavior(s) as it relates to those that casual observers might identify as Spiritual. Religious? Silly? Worthwhile? …who know.
What I KNOW is that when I do certain things, I feel good. When I do other things, I feel better. ..and when I do other things, I don’t feel so good. The latter I try and learn from, do less and ideally, eliminate.
One of the behaviors I like to engage in is climbing up a mountain, ideally with Gracie, and on the top of that mountain is a Big Gold Buddha statue and the view from up there is of a large body of water below that is easily approachable.
Well, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED today!.
Gracie and I walk up to the Big Buddha at Wat Tham Khao Tao.
Essentially we are in Hua Hin but its likely not the “Hua Hin” areas that you might be more familiar with seeing in YouTube videos.
I can tell you it doesn’t “feel” like Hua Hin; not busy, no other foreigners. LOVE IT!
Thanks for joining us on our hike.
Live the Dream!

For the next installment along the Thailand Road Trip, 2021, we stopped at a beach I had been to about a year prior. I came here on the train from Cha-Am. It was a random train stop that I found but just following the train tracks on Google Maps. This stop was easy walking distance to the beach so I got off with my backpacks and ended up at this cool beach. A great walking beach, especially at low tide.
What I soon realized that this location was SO small that getting back on the train from the same station I got off at was not possible and the closest station to buy a return ticket was Hua Hin.
BUT, this time, now that we have the convenience of a car we rented for the month, we are free to go to some places that, on foot, we really be a challenge.
Thanks for watching this little pit-stop.
We’ll check in again tomorrow!
Live the Dream,
~mikes & Gracie 🙂

One of the next stops along the road trip is Cha-Am Beach. I’ve always loved it here; no particular reason, really. But, as is often the case when I am here, I have (and had a) gratitude attack. So, I wanted to share some random thoughts as I walked along the beach.
all the best.

Our first night of the road trip we stayed at the Eco Moment Beach Resort. A 3.5 Star Hotel. During these Covid times, the Covid pricing was ~ 1400THB. Our experience was actually sub 3 star. The staff are VERY NICE but the physical plant needs some upkeep. Our room needed new paint in the bathroom big time. The view from our “sea-view room” was a “partial ocean view”… I still do not know why people will “advertise” their facility, service or product with a description that only leads to disappointment when you finally sample or consume it.
BUT, Gracie and I got a decent enough night sleep (I needed to wear earplugs for a few hours so the noises of the opening/closing doors of the other people staying there would stop waking me up). The beg was clean and the location was certainly safe.
The following 2 nights, we spent in Cha-Am for literally the same price for 2 Nights and I got a better night sleep during that stay.
NOTE: I am not complaining – just sharing our experience should you consider this location for your next stay-over.
Our road trip continues and our enjoyment of life is in No Way decreased.
IN FACT, I have a Gratitude Attack just this afternoon — video of a beach walk’n’talk forthcoming!
Chat soon my friends!
Hugs from
~mikes & Gracie :–)

Another mini “setback” on our “road” to our Thai Marriage certificate prompted us to look at each other and in unison say, “ROOOAD TRIIIIIP!” And, less than hour later, we reserved a car for a month and got it delivered.
We left our condo in Bangkok at about 12noon on the first Tuesday in June of 2021 and set off South/West from the Big Mango. Our first stop is a coffee shop that I saw posted by our friends Dana and Jib (from the YouTube channel IDEA STUDIO
{ https://www.youtube.com/c/IdeaStudioXYZ/videos }
and of course the world famous: BangKoK STranGe Podcast and YouTube channel
{ https://www.youtube.com/c/BangkokStrange/videos }.
So, we stopped there to pick up some HIP and some bean water and the obligatory Selfie!
Thanks for watching our journey folks.
Honored you came by.
Live the Dream!
