My Journey as a Buddhist Monk in Thailand
I had a unique experience during my time as a monk in Thailand, which left a lasting impact on my life. I found myself at two distinct types of temples, one nestled within the bustling city and the other hidden deep within the tranquil forest. The reason behind this spiritual journey was deeply rooted in Thai culture; it's a tradition for boys with at least one parent from Thailand to seek ordination as a monk. It's a way for us to apologize to our parents for any pain we might have caused them throughout the years and to express our heartfelt gratitude for the sacrifices they've made on our behalf.

A Tech Enthusiast with a Purpose In 2017, I embarked on an educational journey that led me to graduate in 2019. I chose this path not only because I believe it's the future but also because I yearned to work on applications that could truly make a difference for each user. I was motivated by a desire to solve real-world problems, whether it was simplifying the process of moving from point A to point B or being a part of a solution that addresses the environmental challenges we face today. Technology, to me, is a tool for creating positive change.
Great outdoors
I find solace in the great outdoors. There's nothing quite like setting up my 4-season tent in the midst of a winter wilderness and simply being one with nature.
Calisthenics
I also have a passion for calisthenics, pushing my physical limits to achieve personal growth.
Cold bath
Taking cold baths when the opportunity arises is another invigorating pursuit.
Family
However, my heart belongs to my family, which includes my wife and two older children. They are my anchor, and I relish every moment spent with them.
Friends
I cherish the times I spend with friends, often meeting up at a restaurant for a hearty burger and a refreshing drink.
Balance
It's in these moments that I truly appreciate the balance of my life, from introspective solitude to the joy of companionship.
