#1 THE CLIMB - Nam Xay Viewpoint by @angielettenmeyer

It's time to take of your slippers and to get your proper pair of sneakers. Or even better: Hiking boots! Get your backpack and equip yourself with a big bottle of water, you're gonna need it. That's right: We're going on a hike today.

#2 Pattaya THAILAND: First Impressions by @jessestlouis

We recently arrived in Thailand and I wanted to give you my first impressions of Pattaya, where we are currently hanging out for awhile. The guide books say to avoid this place because it's seedy and dangerous. This video gives a slightly different take as I roam around Jomtien Beach.

#3 Wednesday Walk: paying respect to Buddha relics at Wat Bovorn, ไปกราบพระเกศาธาตุของพระพุทธเจ้า by @kaminchan

Before and during the New Year, Buddhists in Thailand will go to temple to make merits and pay respect to Lord Buddha statues. One day before New Year’s Eve, I felt the urge to visit some temples in the old part of Bangkok. The sun was setting but I hoped these temples would be opening late specially for these few days for the New Year chanting ceremonies. Luckily, being late was beneficial as I could easily find a parking space and there was no traffic jam. Sometimes, being lazy or procrastinated could turn out okay! I know I should not indulge in this habit too often.
