Thai kids are spoiled 🇹🇭🍜

After my parents left Bali, I was still suffering from dengue.

At the same time - the owner of my house and his wife wanted to come to Bali for a visit (which is when I would normally leave), but they needed some money too - so they asked if it’d be ok to stay while I was still here - and as a perk I’d get home cooked Thai food.

Sure, why not? 🤷‍♂️ I could still barely leave the house at the start of April, so I wasn’t looking to go on a trip…my mind was telling me yes, but my body was telling me no.

And dayum, everything’s been amazing! 🤤 Penang curry’s, pad kra pao, and of course some pad Thai.

The past 2 months have been a journey of ups and downs health wise and I’m finally feeling like I’m getting back on track to that feeling in the beginning of the year when I was in top shape. Health is definitely wealth.

Below is a chart of my HRV (heart rate variability) and RHR (resting heart rate) to show how much dengue can fuck you up in less than a month…

But the past couple weeks I’m in full recovery - got in the water almost everyday this week and spent some time driving exploring during the holidays. This month was a month full of holidays. The neighbors kids literally had like 2 days of school 😆.

They get off…

  • 1 week for Ramadan

  • 1 week for Easter

  • 2 weeks for Galungan to Kuningan

Galungan is really one of the most special times in Bali. I always like to spend the day driving through the villages in the north and stop by a traditional village.
