Koh Surin (หมู่เกาะสุรินทร์) - In March
2020, we spent about a week in the Southern Thailand province on Phang Nga - I
absolutely loved it - from the food to the people to the natural scenery and
beaches. We decided to go to Koh Surin (หมู่เกาะสุรินทร์), a national park island, known to be one of the most
pristine islands in Thailand. And since it wasn’t as busy with tourism as it
typically is, we were able to get a booking at the National Park lodge on the
island. In this video I’ll share this entire experience of getting to Koh
Surin, and staying in the bungalows.
Greenview
Tour Speedboat - 1,700 THB ($52.44) per
person, roundtrip - First you must get to Koh Surin (หมู่เกาะสุรินทร์) island,
and the fastest way to get there is by speed boat which takes about 1 hour 10
minutes. The boat left from Khura Buri (คุระบุรี) pier, in Phang Nga province. The boat ride was
surprisingly smooth and we arrived to the island, to the amazingly pure and
clear waters of the islands.
Buffet lunch
- 750 THB ($23.13) per person - There aren’t too many food options - or let me
say, no food options other than the National Park headquarters canteen. But you
can choose to order from the menu, or you can eat the buffet that lots of
snorkeling trips eat on day trip to the island. Since the buffet was ready and
we were really hungry, we just ate the buffet. It’s not the greatest Thai food
you’ll eat, but it was ok.
Bungalow
Price - 2,000 THB ($61.69) per night - Bungalows are basic, but comfortable,
with AC and self contained. I thought they were great.
The best
things for me about staying at the bungalow overnight is that Koh Surin (หมู่เกาะสุรินทร์) can be
busy during the day because most people take day trips to the island, but head
back to mainly by 3 or 4 pm. So being there after hours, it was so quiet, so
peaceful, and so relaxing. That was the best.
Thank you
for watching and hope you’re having a fantastic day!

Michio Kaku
on what makes a supergenius.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MICHIO KAKU:
Dr. Michio
Kaku is the co-founder of string field theory, and is one of the most widely
recognized scientists in the world today. He has written 4 New York Times Best
Sellers, is the science correspondent for CBS This Morning and has hosted
numerous science specials for BBC-TV, the Discovery/Science Channel. His radio
show broadcasts to 100 radio stations every week. Dr. Kaku holds the Henry
Semat Chair and Professorship in theoretical physics at the City College of New
York (CUNY), where he has taught for over 25 years. He has also been a visiting
professor at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, as well as New York
University (NYU).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSCRIPT:
Michio Kaku:
If you watch the "Big Bang Theory" on CBS television you see these
clueless nerds who are doormats when it comes to the opposite sex, right. And you realize is there any basis in reality? First of all none of my friends are like that
and all my friends are physicists, right.
Well there
is a kernel of truth and that is some of these individuals may suffer from
something called Asperger’s Syndrome which is a mild form of autism. These people are clueless when it comes to
social interactions. They don’t look you
in the eye, for example. And yet they have fantastic mental and mathematical
capabilities. We think, for example,
that Isaac Newton had Asperger’s. The
greatest scientist of all time was very strange. He had no friends to speak of. He could not carry a decent conversation and
yet here he was spitting out some of the greatest theories in the history of
science. Calculus. The Universal Law of Gravitation. The Theory of Optics. And we think he had Asperger’s Syndrome.
Now
Asperger’s Syndrome is a mild form of autism and in autism we have what are
called savants. That is people that have
an IQ of maybe 80 but have incredible mathematical and musical abilities. In fact, some of these individuals can hear
one symphony and just play it by memory on a piano. Other people could be in a helicopter, have a
helicopter ride over Manhattan, see the entire New York harbor and then from
memory sketch the entire harbor. In
fact, if you want to see it go to JFK Airport in New York City and you will see
it as you enter the international terminal.
So what is it about these people?
Well, first of all a lot of them had injuries to the left temporal
lobe. One individual had a bullet as a child
go right through the left temporal lobe.
Another person dove into a swimming pool and injured very badly the left
temporal lobe. And these people wound up
with incredible mathematical abilities as a consequence. And so what is it about their brains?
Well
Einstein’s brain has actually been preserved.
Einstein when he died had an autopsy in which case the pathologist stole
the brain without permission of the family.
He just realized that he was sitting next to something historic, took
the brain, took it home with him, and it was sitting in a jar in his home for
decades. He even drove across the
country with the jar inside his trunk.
And there’s even a TV special where you can actually see the cut up
brain of Albert Einstein. And you
realize first of all the brain is a little bit different. You can’t tell by looking at it that it’s so
remarkably different but you realize that the connections between the prefontal
cortex and the parietal lobe – a connection that is accentuated in people that
do abstract reasoning is thickened. So
there definitely is a difference in the brain of Einstein. But the question is did it make Einstein or
did Einstein make this change of the brain?
Are
champions born or are they made? That
still is not known because people who exercise mental abilities, mathematical
abilities, they can thicken that part of the brain themselves. So we know that people who do well in
mathematics, brain scans clearly show that their brains are slightly different
from the average brain. So in
conclusion, we’re still children with regards to understanding how this process
takes place. Tonight don’t go home and
bang yourself on the left temporal lobe.
We don’t know how it works. We
just know that in a tiny fraction of these cases people with injury to the left
temporal lobe, some of the become super geniuses.

Thank you to

High
Altitude Tibetan Food - Today we drove from Lhasa to Yamdrok Lake, where we had
the honor to eat at a local family home. At 4,500 meters in elevation, there’s
not a lot of plants that grow, and so our meal consisted of Tibetan barley, yak
meat, a few green onions, and a radish soup. It was a hearty and warming meal,
full of love, and a pleasure to learn more about Tibetan culture. #Tibet
#YamdrokLake #streetfood #villagefood
Yamdrok
Lake, Tibet - First we drove to Yamdrok Lake, and Kambala Pass (4,990 m (16,371
ft) for the viewpoint. The view of Yamdrok Lake for the first time was
breathtaking. It’s a sacred lake in Tibet, and the colors of the lake look
different depending on season, time of day, or even where you see the lake
from. The actual bottom of the lake, on the shore is more like 4,500 Meters in
Elevation.
High
Elevation Tibetan Food - Tsampa (roasted barley) is the staple and main food of
the Tibetan diet. It’s nutritious, and grows at a very high elevation. For
lunch we had butter tea, barley dumplings with yak meat, radish soup with yak
meat, and a type of momo bread which was formed into cone shapes, and fried and
steamed in an iron griddle pan. The entire meal was simple, but delicious and
very hearty and warming - mainly carbs, and yak. The entire village and setting
next to Yamdrok Lake made it even more spectacular.
Karola
Glacier View - Finally to end this day in Tibet, we continued to Karola
Glacier, passing a section that was almost 5,200 meters in elevation. Highest
elevation I’ve been to, and the entire drive was unbelievably beautiful.
An amazing
day, great people, delicious food, and heavenly scenery of Yamdrok Lake.
Thank you to
Travel China & Tibet (https://www.travelchinatibet.com/), they sponsored my
trip to Tibet, and they did an amazing job to cater to the exact things I
wanted to do. Highly recommended when you visit Tibet.
Grateful thanks to MARK WIENS and YouTube.
