Happiness Diaries Episode 23: Kitti Tantibankul (Phuket, Thailand)

My happy is family and travel. If my family happy then I’m happy. For travel I love to do. My travel is hiking or trekking. I love to hiking in Nepal every year with my family. We love to do together. The meaning of life is to give meaning.

Kitti and his wife are the owner/operators of the camping store I went to in Thailand trying to replace my second time stolen camping gear, K2 Outdoor. While their store is small, they are avid adventurers themselves regularly exploring their own country and the world pushing themselves and their children to find their physical limits in nature.

Kitti went above and beyond after I stopped at his store, he messaged his boss (the owner of the entire Kitcamp International chain of stores in Thailand) and worked to get me a sponsorship in exchange for photos of their gear in action. Despite me not even being in the same city anymore, he came through and I have what feels like a very high quality tent, mattress, and a sleeping bag to test as I travel across to Europe. Thank you all so much, look forward to giving you a well abused equipment review.
