What's up friends,
No really.. let's take a moment to enjoy the beauty of the Sun! π
We've been in Chiang Mai for over a month already and this is my only stream since being back. I could have streamed through the PS4, instead I've been catching up on writing actual blogs. After this I'm done posting past streams and we can get to streaming and steeming right away! π
So we're just rolling with this catch up, a bit about alcohol consumption over the holidays and then of course some of the chat wanted to talk about π porn. Mostly though we're just sharing what's new and reconnecting with our regs. Maybe for next stream we can get some suggestions in comments for a topic? π Well come one and all!
Meanwhile we have to wait a few more weeks for J's visa renewal and then bug out to the beach! π Great for us however air pollution is no joke and CM is getting grey. Here's to education and waking up those who burn and don't care about the health of others. ππ»
We love living in Chiang Mai, if only we could stay smoke-free year round..π¨π¨
It's a situation, however on the upside it keeps our wanderlust alive. It's truly a blessing that we get to focus on where we want to adventure next. We've narrowed it down to Phuket, Krabi, Koh Samui or all of them. I've been to all three, Mom and Kai have only seen Phuket so far. I do prefer the Andaman coast, however we've heard the vegan and yoga scene is really taking off on Koh Phangan which is a small island off of Samui. So it could be cool to check out what's happening there too.
Anyway, that's all to come and of course we'll blog you along with us. Any recommendations drop a comment below, as I said we did Phuket last year and it's been 10 years since I've visited any other islands. I've been hesitant actually, half becaue I don't want to see how much it's changed. Simply passing through Patong was shocking as is, fingers crossed things haven't gotten too crazy. I love Thailand and especially the islands, it's one of the most special and naturally beautiful places in the world.
Kai already acts like he don't need no hand holding LOL!π
Anyway one step at a time. I've been doing my best to touch base at least once a week on Steemit. Probably do more now while we're settled for the next month. I've also been doing things behind the scenes with helping new people get on here. I just have to balance out and not forget to keep my own STEEM building! π
What's new in the Steemit Mastermind Group today? Click here to join us:
Why maintain a facebook presence? Well to share steemit with friends and families of course! Helping loved ones migrate from the govern-mind, data tracked, unsocial media.. towards a free and decentralized, reward based, co-creative gifting community. Doing our best is to hold the door for those that follow right?
It's been a busy week in the group, connecting with old friends and new. With a fresh wave of SMG accounts patiently waiting upwards of 6 days for verification. It's a situation that's hard for excited new users to grasp. Fingers crossed we address these scaling issues in the next hard fork? Velocity date tbc?
Anyway I'd still like to give a shout out and introduce 3 new members of the Steemit Mastermind. Welcome and excited to get to know you all better as our team grows stronger!

Hey @kenistyles thanks for the shoutout! I'm in Chiang Mai too and probably walked right past you. I'm heading to Ubud, Bali soon to avoid smokey season. Love it over there. If you come to Bali, let me know :)
Yeah man you got it! Loved your recent post too, will head over and engage in a bit. Also so awesome to have another Steemian in CM, though we'll also be leaving soon for the islands. For sure we'll meet soon and yes one day Bali too! Much love bro ππ―
So glad you and your loved ones are having fun in the sun. I think you sent some of those warm vibes over here as we are having an unseasonably mild day here in PA. Steemit has made blogging fun again and I love reading bloggers like you and seeing where "where to next" leads you. Have a wonderful day!

Thanks, glad to share some love and light. Totally agree with you, as a long ago blogger we've been through some dark times plodding away with wp and seo oh my gosh lol.. thank STEEM we can finally see rewards together for bloggers here! Here's to sunsets and wherever next.. π
Welcome back to streaming Keni! Another great share Brother. Finally got the "wheel" to stop spinning, so the upvote went through this morning :)
Yes, the smoke is thick this week. Will be nice for you to migrate to the islands for a bit. Thanks for welcoming in our new members of the community @kalemandra and @yinyangmichael. Your continued support is showing myself and others how to create and support a thriving community here on Steemit and for that I am grateful as well. I all ways learn something new each day from you. Your posts are always filled with wisdom & great energy. Thank you! Wholeness......
You're welcome Jeff! Yeah you shouldn't have any bandwidths issues anymore, once you get above 15 SP let me know so I pull my delegation and use it towards other new members.
We're all in the ocean together man, thankfully we have our small pool of friends to support each other as we grow up to be bigger fish lol! There's definitely so much to learn here, if you have any questions I may be able to help with feel free to here or in SMG π
How is internet in CM ? speed/cost .
Internet infrastructure in Thailand is actually really good, especially their scary 4G wifi coverage lol! Strong all around the city and way beyond. Plus almost every cafe, restaurant, juice bar, anywhere has free wifi.
For working from home we're doing our best to stream off a shared network for the building. It gets a bit slow at night when everyone is netflix and chilling. I've looked into our own line and it's about $30 usd pm for the highest fibre-optic pack. That's the one the gamers use and I've seen speeds upwards of 250/250mbps which is epic!
Though I doubt we'll get it until we move to a new place and that won't be until we're back from our island trip.
No wonder so many digital nomads go to Thailand.
Yeah there's a lot of them out here lol! I should add though that those speeds are within Thailand and SE Asia. It's still amazing speeds trans-pacific, however what I read is there are bottlenecks between SE Asia and the US for example. Takes it down a bit, though I've still seen 50/50mbps fibre pinging to westcoast.
$30 /month for this speed is great. I pay roughly $50/m for 50/4 mbps...
thanks for your answer. :)
You got it bro, that package with AIS also gives a free sim card with "unlimited" 4G included. I heard it's pretty good but many of these unlimited deals throttle down after certain amount of data. Otherwise we'd all be tethering off our smart phones lol!
thank you. gathering info that will be useful ... :)
Great photos Keni! Everyone looks so happy, thanks for your effort helping all us newbies.
Thanks David, we're all doing our best. I feel the biggest effort is to help each other stay inspired. I'll probably write more about this next blog. From my perspective we're all newbies and we're all doing just great! π
I love seeing your little community letters!! And really appreciate you profiling the new community peeps so we can follow and support. Super pics of @iamjamie btw and the little guy.
Thank you so much! You help me real eyes a real simple life lesson, the more we pay love forwords the easier life be coming. Help each other and offer random gifts of kindness everyday, now that's a sweet life! π
I really miss Chiang Mai
Thanks for sharing
Merci, you're very welcome.
Will you be returning?
Yes, itβs true.
Simply playing cards with my dad, make he feel better... even when he lose!
Good man π
ππΌ Thank you very much for your support and for helping so well newcomers, Keni. ππ»

You're welcome brother, we're all stronger together! π
I am going there in May bro. Meet up?!
For sure bro, if we come back by then. Maybe still on the islands, you never know with the flow right? π
(Duh gotta go sleep, didn't mean to self vote my comment even though it was only $0.04 smh)
