Check In from Sedona, Arizona. Exploring Nature while here for my buddy's wedding.
I went from the Alibaba, Gateway '17 conference to Phoenix, AZ. Then grabbed a rental car and drove about 2 hours north to sort of an artsy town called Sedona. Its been growing a lot over the last 10 years. Its a cool place to retire and if you like big red rock mountains in the middle to the desert, THIS is the place for you. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsyoVCdSL58
As I was driving home this afternoon, I had the desire, like most days, to just sit at the beach... and not talk, not accomplish, not produce, not create... (you get the idea).
So, on went the board shorts and the EPIC 83 Baht Hat!
and there I was at ONLY CHILD (mikes) Beach.
The date is mid-December 2023, during the infamous "High Season" here in Thailand.
AND I have a beach with NO PEOPLE, looking at least 2 KM in either direction. So, I thought I might share some of my thoughts with y'all at The Cool Kids Table.
This then tuned into about a 40 minute video. Thanks for watching the whole thing.
You're awesome!
:-)
Chat again soon.

I don't think anyone ever turns away at receiving GREAT customer service BUT I have has such great customer service lately from AIrlines (Southwest), restaurants, taxi service (Super Shuttle), etc. and many times its via Facebook Messenger that I have been receiving the best service. I LOVE this as it removes the "on-hold" experience so negatively associated with calling customer service.

Welcome to my life at the speed of Thailand.
I thought I'd just upload a video of what I do, and what you might do when you come here to this gorgeous part of the world.
I "hang out"
I "chill"
I have a Gratitude Attack.
Correct. There is no talking.
Yes there is wind noise.
and YES, I made the walk count.
Until next time.
Live The Dream!

I prefer Hot and Sunny weather. Some people don't. I have discovered that I am *very* photon-driven. I indeed get fueled by an environment that is "warmer" and "sunnier". Your mileage may very. HOWEVER, I'm always curious how YOU discover if the place/area/country/city you want to vacation in or move to has "ideal" conditions... Do you Google it? Ask one of your buddies that's been there for at least 13 months (i.e. a full cycle of weather)? or watch YouTube Videos from other expats who travel from place to place?
I find that the best data I seem to get is from friends who have "been there, done that". This data transfer usually takes place over coffee or a smoothie.
So, if you are ever in San Diego, let me know, I'd be honored to buy your a smoothie and learn about where You have been and what the environment was like.

So, even what is considered to be "Peak Season" (i.e. mid-December, thru Christmas and the week of New Years Eve) in Thailand the sort of "bars and restaurants" area of Hua Hin down by the north part of the beach, near the Hilton, I have to call it "slow" in comparison to other Farang-tourist areas I've been to in Thailand.
Now, to be fair, comparing it to Bangla Road in Patong Beach in Phuket or any part of the beach area of Pattaya would not be a fair comparison BUT even in speaking with the locals it seems to be "slower" this year than last.
Just wanted to follow up as a few of your have commented/asking about the comparison between day and night in Hua Hin.
Thanks for watching.
All the best,
~mikes
