About Me

5.9ft 75-80kg. Weight depends on which continent I'm at the moment :). I'm still a bit special with the chopsticks. I'm better with drumming than using them for food :)

Contact me on whatsapp, as I'm not going on couchsurf everyday - +66634687734 (but please, send me request anyway as I would like to see your profile as well..just let me know that sent the request)

For anyone coming to the island for the full moon party - I'm not running luggage storage, so forget about it ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on CS because i'm after true experience of travelling which comes with meeting local people, who can show you some secret places you won't be able to find in the guide book. If it is music venue, ghost factory or some small restaurant with the best food in the area.

Interests

I was always interested in what hides underneath the surface - you can call me an underground person :) Music scene, citylife or life under the surface rather than then on the surface. I guess that's why I love diving. I love alternative music - if its rock, electronic or some crazy turbo folk progressive disco. And I always look for places like that everywhere I go. At the moment I collect samples and record sounds in different places to make another EP. I do carry my recorder everywhere with me so expect to be recored at some point, or you may wake up to a repetitive sounds i make with your dishes in the kitchen haha. Honestly, i promise i will not do that one. Got plenty of dishes samples already ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

I grew up in town where everyone was into metal/rock/punk/hardcore etc. but as years went by I discover other stuff. I love both electronic and acoustic sounds. Chill out and heavy sounds. I love discovering new music as I travel and I believe every place has something to offer.

Favourite movie? I have to say there is jus too many I love so it is hard for me to name top 10. Some of the top 100:)

Documentaries: Eco Pirate, The Cove, Waste land etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I done a album - check it on spotify; "Stop time with you" by S1nch ;)

I become a diving instructor, which opened my eyes and show the problems of our planet from a different perspectives.

Builded 3 artificial reefs here in Thailand. If you want I can show it to you, life grows on it as you read it

I kissed a shark in the nose (Don't do it at home...who tf keeps sharks at home anyway...)

I survived bike crash, car crash and traktor crash (yes traktor) all without a helmet (stoooooopid)

Teach, Learn, Share

What I can teach is how to breath under water - with scuba of course ;P Teaching Open Water, Nitrox, Underwater Photography , Deep diving etc etc

I'm always happy to talk and learn about our little planet and how we can make it better.

The word is "chinchilla" and if you not putting it in request you can surf somewhere else

How to cut samples to the beats if you interested in music production, how to become a master in jenga (i believe i'm really good at it but that's just my opinion).
I would love to learn about culture through other CS members.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My house in Koh Phangan

My office - The Sea

Do you know that bloody song which appears on the radio sometimes? Is it Rihana? or someone else?

"i can do the cooking"

" i can do the dishes"

Anyway, not the best piece of lyrics but whatever she can do i can do better. (by the way i only remember those two lines from that song, there is nothing dirty in it, is it?
