Air Conditioned accommodation in my house (in Kai Bae, Koh Chang) and use of high pressure hot shower, Instant pot, Espresso machine, weights/home gym and treadmill etc. available in exchange for minor manual labor. Stay here, keep the place clean, do the dishes, entertain me with some conversation, make an occasional coffee or a meal and I consider this a fair trade.

In addition to the shelter, I can show you around the island and go hiking into the deep jungle with you (and a Thai guide, because enthusiastic as I may be, I walk slowly and am clumsy outdoors). I have a truck.

The offer is temporary, I am home alone for a while without my Wife.

My personality type is "INTP"; introverted, intuitive, thinking and perceptive.

I was born in and grew up in Bombay, India but dislike most things about India and don't plan on going back, ever. I have been based in South-east Asia for the past ~7 years.

I'm a "digital nomad" and work online. I have a software company here in Thailand and a home office.

I speak English with a North American accent.

I used to drink too much so I pretty much stopped/no longer drink too much. So I don't hang out in bars much, with the exception of titty bars.

I am easy going but have a dark sense of humor.

Please don't mistake me for being arrogant or anti social, I am just weird and aloof.

Reminder: No longer Drink. I can share with you the Scientific method that I used to stop drinking.
