First of all, thank you whoever comes up with this platform. It's a refreshing alternative to the mainstream social medias that sells people's information for their own benefit.
I enjoy traveling and taking pictures. Bringing out the best images of places I visit is my hobby. Here are some of my works.
Sukhothai Historical Park - one of the first civilization that eventually become Thailand
A Yaksha at Wat Phra Kaew. Bangkok - Yaksha is like an ogre in western mythology. I made a video of how I edited this photo at my YouTube channel
Songkran Beauty Pageant - This is an example of traditional Thai dress.
Interests
When not traveling, I save and invest. I like learning about how money works and why prices go up or down. But money isn't the most important thing in life. I practice Theravada Buddhism as well. I read the ancient Buddhist texts and understand most of them. The law of karma and the law of economy actually go together very well. Every phenomena have a root cause. Everything happens for some reason.
Being a web developer is stressful, I relax and keep myself in shape by practicing Muay Thai. It's a very good way to get in shape and build confidence fast. It's not best martial art for self-defense because it focuses on delivering hardest hits as possible. It sacrifices defense for offense. However, there is an older form of Muay Thai that emphasizes on defense too.
I'm currently living in the US working for a small robotic lab as a UI developer. I am looking to travel more and bring you all interesting pictures and stories about my journey.
