Saturday, December 11, 20217:51 a.m. Room 21Tha Song Yang Hill Resort HotelTha Song Yang, Thailand It’s almost eight a.m. this morning, and that is late for me to be enjoying my first cup of coffee of the day. But I’m glad I slept in. I feel good, much better than…

Friday, December 10, 20217:30 a.m. Room 21, Tha Song Yang Hill Resort HotelTha Song Yang, Thailand I definitely wasn’t happy in my first room at this resort. I was okay with the rough conditions. I’ve spent a lot of my life in rooms that were much worse. But it felt…

Thursday, December 9, 20217:30 a.m. Room 26, Tha Song Yang Hill Resort HotelTha Song Yang, Thailand I had to think really hard to come up with the information I just wrote above. I didn’t know the room number. I could barely come up with the name of the hotel. And…

Wednesday, December 8, 20215:38 a.m. Room 3, RETRO Twin HomeMae Sot, Thailand The time has finally come to leave Mae Sot and head north. I have no strong reason to delay any longer. Quite a few random things have been happening over the last few days. I did arrange to…

Monday, December 6, 20214:56 a.m. Room 3Retro Twin HomeMae Sot, Thailand Despite my amazing room at the Retro, I’m not sure that yesterday was the day I was hoping for. My goal for remaining in Mae Sot another couple of days was to get caught up on my Planet Doug…

Sunday, December 5, 20215:48 a.m. Room 3Retro Twin HomeMae Sot, Thailand I’m still in Mae Sot. In fact, I am less than a kilometer from the Centra. I spent a few minutes after breakfast yesterday looking over hotel listings on Agoda, and I settled on a small but friendly-sounding place…

Saturday, December 4th, 20217:10 a.m. Room 305, Centra HotelMae Sot, Thailand My day yesterday continued and went along pretty much as it started, and I didn’t get nearly as much done as I’d hoped. I just never came to grips with anything. I blame much of that on this room…

Friday, December 3, 20216:36 a.m Room 305 Centra HotelMae Sot, Thailand I’m having trouble focusing again this morning. My mental state isn’t nearly as bad as when I left from the Green Guest House, but I just feel distracted. And it’s actually this room at the Centra Hotel that is…

Thursday, December 2, 20215:10 a.m. Room 1102 Phannu HouseMae Sot, Thailand Man, oh man. What a day yesterday. I worked extremely hard in the last week to be ready to leave the Green Guest House and Mae Sot. The idea was to have a completely stress-free last day or two,…

Wednesday, December 1, 20219:12 a.m. Green Guest HouseMae Sot, Thailand The day of my departure from the Green Guest House has finally arrived. At nine in the morning, I would normally already be packed up and on the road, but there are still some formalities to take care of, and…
