关于我

I'm an easygoing guy. I'm half-Thai, half-American, which means I'm not really American nor Thai. I like expanding my worldview, especially by traveling and seeing many of the unique ways to live a meaningful life in this world.

In the past, I was briefly a Buddhist monk in a Thai forest monastery. Currently I'm a neuroscience researcher in The Netherlands. I love writing, and my small fame is that I published a short story that won an award. I like cooking Thai food, big breakfasts, and frozen pizza when I'm feeling lazy. If I'm not sober and there's a piano/keyboard around, I will not be able to resist playing it (not particularly well).

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Lived in a Buddhist monastery in a malaria-infested jungle in the far western mountains of Thailand, where I took the monk's vows and wore the ocre robes. Then the fruit ripened and fell, and the tree kept growing.

教,学,和分享

While traveling, you take off your old mask and put on another... there's a fleeting moment that reveals something underneath the mask that we all pretend isn't there.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I'm very happy to cook for others, I also teach meditation, and in general I like sharing chill conversation and music
