Podcast 8: In LOVE with Bangkok (and a Visit to the Hospital)

We talk about all of the reasons that we love spending time in BANGKOK, Thailand. This being our fourth trip to the always-active city, gave us a chance to live like locals and take in the fantastic food, night markets, and shopping malls. Matt had a full body exam at the BUMRUNGRAD International Hospital as well as a teeth cleaning in their Dental Center. We talk about medical tourism and our experience with health care outside of the U.S. We also answer a listener question about making the most out of a HORRIBLE string of events. Still can’t believe we ended that wild 24-hours with a smile on our face. Please join us in this latest episode of our adventures around the world.

Contest Prize of the Week: Tommy John Underwear
Underwear? Guys don’t like to talk about underwear unless they are complaining…that’s likely why I don’t mention mine….but since you asked, I wear Tommy John! I wore them for about 2 years before we left so it was an easy decision for me to pack 7 pairs before we headed out for our big adventure. They have several different styles of underwear but I wear the trunks. Tommy John is the revolutionary men’s underwear brand that’s redefining comfort. It’s the perfect underwear to keep you comfortable no matter where your travels take you. Tommy John uses proprietary fabrics and innovative designs to make sure that the legs never ride up, the waistband never rolls down, and you never get a wedgie. And, their horizontal quick-draw fly has been described as life-changing. Plus, all Tommy John underwear is backed by the “Best Pair You’ll Ever Wear or It’s Free” guarantee. So if you don’t love the fit and feel of Tommy John, it’s free! Check out their latest deals and styles at PassportJoy.com/Tommy
