About Greg to Differ

Hi, my name is Greg and this is my website. I’m a Canadian living in Bangkok, Thailand, one of the strangest, most exciting, enjoyably weird and undeniably interesting cities in the world. That's me on the right, trying to combine 'pensive' and 'epic' into a single expression for the first time in recorded history.

Although I’ve traveled all over the Kingdom – from Ko Lipe to Mae Sai and from Mae Sot to Nong Khai – I’m a city boy at heart. I feel most comfortable exploring the dark alleys of Chinatown, eating a bowl of roadside noodles at 3am, or getting lost in the suburbs on my mountain bike. While most of my friends ‘need’ to escape to a beach on a semi-regular basis, I’m a bit of an odd cat in that I find Bangkok interesting enough that I rarely like to leave.

Between the chaotic traffic, the ‘quiet nights’ that spiral wildly out of control, the ridiculous politics, the cheap and awesome food, and the interesting people, even a ho-hum evening is likely to reward you with a water cooler story or two. So, while I try to write about Thailand in general as often as I can, much of this blog ends up being about my experiences living in Bangkok.

On top of that, I also ruminate on an absurd amount of other topics from time to time, from pop culture to history to geeky science stuff.

So – read it if you like it, ignore it if you don’t, but thanks for visiting either way.

P.S - Yes, I'm aware that 'About' is misspelled in the navigation bar. I am Canadian, after all.
