The Best Of Me is a vocally driven, 128 BPM Uplifting Melodic Techno track currently in production by Phat Monkey, blending the atmospheric depth of Artbat with the emotive, narrative‑focused style of Jan Blomqvist
At its core, the track explores the moment when someone drifts so far from themselves that they begin to lose their sense of direction. Yet even in that freefall, there is always that one person who reaches out, pulls you back from the edge, and becomes the connection that saves you. It’s a reminder that even in the dark, someone’s presence can guide you home making that person the best of me
An exclusive work‑in‑progress video, uploaded on September 6th 2026, offers a first glimpse into the evolving sound and direction of the track. More updates and behind‑the‑scenes insights will be shared soon as the project continues to take shape ┗(･o･)┓
Thailand captured my heart beyond any place I’ve ever known. It is a land of breathtaking landscapes, matched only by the deep warmth and open-hearted kindness of its people. For more than two decades, Thailand has been so much more than a holiday destination. It has become a true home away from home.
My travels started over 21 years ago, bringing me to so many special corners of the country:
~ Coasts & Islands: Enjoying the energetic coastal vibe of Pattaya and relaxing on the beautiful beaches of Koh Chang.
~ City Life: Exploring the incredible energy, food, and temples of Bangkok.
~ The Heart of Isan: Traveling through the Northeast to experience authentic local life across Khon Kaen, Kalasin, Maha Sarakham, Udon Thani, Nong Khai, Roi Et, and Buriram.
Over the years, I’ve managed to pick up a bit of basic Central Thai and a few Isan phrases, just enough to share a warm smile, order a meal, or share a lighthearted laugh with the locals.
And, of course, I can’t leave out the food. I love Thai cuisine, but my absolute favorite will always be a fresh, spicy Som Tam Thai.
The genuine tolerance, gentle spirit, and hospitality of the Thai people keep me coming back year after year. Whether taking in a quiet moment on the coast or sharing stories over a meal in Isan, Thailand will always hold a very special place in my soul.
One of the best parts of traveling in Thailand is the food culture where every meal is a vibrant spread of bold flavors. This table is a classic example: a balance of fiery Som Tam, golden crispy spring rolls, savory deep-fried pork strips, and comforting chicken fried rice served with fresh lime and cucumbers. It’s a sensory overload in the absolute best way possible
Paradise found on the shores of Koh Chang. White Sand Beach (Hat Sai Khao) delivers that effortless island magic where lush, jungle-covered mountains drop right into calm, clear waters. Strolling along the soft shore at low tide with the calm tide lapping at your feet is the ultimate reminder of why island hopping in Thailand never gets old
Tucked away along the coastline, the Sanctuary of Truth feels like stepping into another era. Rising above lush greenery against the backdrop of the Gulf of Thailand, its soaring wooden spires and detailed carvings are breathtaking from every angle. Watching local artisans continually carve and restore this monumental structure makes a visit here deeply inspiring easily one of the most awe-inspiring architectural sites in all of Thailand.
My incredible Thai friends were up at 3:00 AM preparing hot meals from scratch so we could deliver food and snacks to two local schools. Visiting this school was a deeply grounding experience. The facilities are minimal and resources are scarce, yet the children welcomed us with the warmest smiles and pure kindness.
Seeing their genuine joy over something so simple puts everything into perspective. It made me feel incredibly humble and deeply appreciative of the life and comforts I so easily take for granted. Days like this stay with you for a long time. ❤️ Lopburi
Most foreigners come to Thailand and get given the standard, polite nickname "Chang Noi" (Little Elephant)... but my Thai friends skipped right past that and have been calling me Phra Sangkajai for over a decade now.
For those who don't know the legend, Sangkajai was originally so dangerously handsome that he had to transform himself into a rotund, big-bellied monk just to stop people from falling in love with him on sight.
So today, I finally stood next to the statue for a proper side-by-side comparison... and honestly? The resemblance is scary. The physique, the posture, the absolute dedication to maintaining the belly, they hit the nail right on the head 5555! I guess I'm not overweight, I'm just deeply spiritual. 😂🙏
Deep within Lopburi’s lush arboretum lies Wang Kan Lueang a hidden natural spring waterfall where cool, turquoise waters stream endlessly over soft limestone steps. Surrounded by a dense canopy of ancient trees and dappled sunlight, it’s a tranquil oasis where the pace of life slows down and the air feels instantly lighter. Just be mindful of where you step or rest in the surrounding forest centipedes love the damp shade, and you definitely don't want to get bitten!
At its core, music is a harmonious bond that bridges all our differences, bringing us together through the true essence of unity. It transcends culture, language, and time, reminding us that beneath all our surface divisions, we all respond to the exact same vibration
Yet it is far larger than humanity. Music resonates in countless forms throughout the known universe and beyond. It is the fundamental pulse of creation itself, an infinite symphony that governs the movement of space. It is an undeniable, eternal force existing long before we were born, echoing through the silence of the cosmos, and enduring long after we become dust among the stars
