My Story

Ao Nang, Thailand is now "Base Camp" — about a mile from Railay Beach, where expat life meets high-octane gaming.

At 55, after surviving a massive brain tumor that erased a previous career, the objective changed: MMOs, open-world and full-loot grinders, FPS, drone photography, and coding.

Reaction times are rebuilding, but determination is 100%. The squad is always welcome — virtual worlds and the real one.

Railay Beach Gaming

Thailand & Asia

Base camp is Ao Nang, about a mile from Railay — Phra Nang and the peninsula are the remote office when I am down on the sand. It looks like a postcard, but it is fully operational. Yes, I can deploy my 17" Gigabyte RTX 3070 laptop right here and game wirelessly from the beach.

Beyond the views, I share ground-level intel for your own setup: visas, internet reliability, cost of living, and daily life in Southeast Asia — including what travel blogs skip (flaky listings, buyer-beware deals, and import pricing that does not match the brochure). Daily life here can be inexpensive; niche imported gear often is not.

I am not trying to scare anyone off — Thailand is wonderful — but paradise and a transparent price tag are not always the same thing.
