The brand stone is a part of the body.
Our first stop was Phuket, an island located in southern Thailand. From Haneda, it takes about 8.5 hours via Bangkok. From Bangkok, it is about 1.5 hours by plane.
The west coast of the island is dotted with more than 20 beautiful beaches, including Patong Beach, Kata, Karon, and Surin, and there are many places that offer beach massages. A massage while listening to the sound of the waves is so great that it is almost apologetic. And that too at a surprisingly low price.
The old town, chosen as the first place to stay in Phuket, which has both mountains and sea, is about an hour's drive from the airport. Historical buildings in the "Sino-Portuguese style," influenced by Chinese and Portuguese architecture, remain, forming a unique landscape.
This Old Town is an area with a concentration of restaurants and stores. The team first visited O Cha Rot for breakfast, which is open only from morning until late afternoon.
Gentle broth, light beef balls and noodles that are light on the palate. This Michelin-listed restaurant is insanely delicious. I'm going to have another bowl of soupless noodles in the morning.
As with all Thai food, the portions are not too large. People who are used to eating in the U.S. may wonder if they will be able to eat it all, but as we are in an Asian country, they know how to take care of our stomachs.
There are many things to see and do in the Old Quarter in the morning. I had a cup of Thai specialty coffee at a café and bookstore called "Bookhemian," which also shows movies, and saw a market filled with freshly picked vegetables and seafood on both sides of the street. Oh, by the way, I also had a cup of old-fashioned iced coffee called "Aurian.
It's fun just to look around, and you can get a good idea of how the locals live by taking public transportation through the city. After exploring the market in moderation, our next stop was the three-day open-air music festival called EDC.
Wakiyama in the foreground is wearing black "All Terrain Low Cut" and the boots worn by Kimura in the back are "Classics" in black. The former has a slightly different manufacturing process, as it uses a sole jointly developed with Vibram.
The venue was "Boat Avenue Lakefront," a huge, dusty, sandy site. There were several stages and we had to walk a distance, and there was even a little rain along the way, but since the coverage team was accompanied by "Brand Stone," we had no problem.
The uppers of "Brand Stone" shoes are made of solid leather, so when you hold them in your hands, they are indeed heavier than sneakers. However, even if I wore them all day at a festival, the weight would not bother me at all, and the firm cushioning would not tire me out. And after all, they were great for off-roading where the soil was bumpy.
Lela, whom we met at a festival, travels around the world wearing "Brand Stone" boots. She wears "Classics" walnut, a different color from Writer Kimura.
You wrote at the beginning of this article that "travelers love it," and that's because of the travelers I happened to meet at the festival site.Lela.He says that he is in the middle of a trip around the world. He is in the middle of a trip around the world, and last year he traveled across Africa with "BrandStone.
I've been wearing them almost every day since I bought them last August. There are many places in Africa, and there is a rainy season depending on the season, but with "Brand Stone" I don't care what the weather is like. When I went to the Petra Ruins in Jordan, I walked about 16 kilometers in one day, but I wore "Brand Stone" shoes. I think they are less tiring than sneakers. They are already a part of my body.
This is the beach we stopped at just before we left Phuket. It was just beautiful and great.
MEMO #2: "Show me the money scam" is now in vogue.
As I was looking for a Grab car in the center of Bangkok, I was stopped by someone who said, "Hey, Guys! I turned around and saw a couple. When I turned around, I saw a couple. We're from Dubai, but we're going to Japan for our honeymoon. They asked, "We're from Dubai. I didn't fall for it because it was too suspicious, but the embassy warned me about it. They say that during the exchange, cash and credit cards are taken out. Bangkok is relatively safe, but this is a foreign country. Be careful.
