So I’ve had a few weeks to fool around with my new Oly EPL5 along with the Oly 45mm 1.8 lens. As I mentioned in an older post, it’s not as user friendly as my old Panasonic Lumix GF2 which I left back in my place in Bangkok. Along with my 20mm f1.7 prime lens […]
Musings
Here’s where I’ll drop random thoughts and perhaps a pic or two of things that interest me.
Hong Kong – Another Home Away from Home
I love Hong Kong. It has an incredible energy, especially at night time. However I really regret that I don’t visit Hong Kong as often as I should. Like in Malaysia I can speak Cantonese and interact better with the locals with no fear of the language barrier. The food is easily recognizable to me […]
Guide to Shopping for Groceries in Bangkok
It can be cheap as chips ordering a meal out on the streets of Bangkok. That’s what most locals do too because most apartments or even condos don’t have full kitchens.

Chillin’ Out in Cha-Am, Thailand
A lot of people say that Cha Am’s beaches are not the most beautiful nor cleanest in Thailand. I agree with that statement to a certain point. Cha Am is not that far off away from Bangkok, which is just north west, about 2 hours and 45 minutes by car. So a lot of “the […]

My Tips on Finding a Comfortable Place to Live in Bangkok I know there are a lot of people moving moving to Bangkok for long term, whether it’s for retirement or simply for an extended vacation.
