In December of 2021, my partner Hilary Matheson and I got the amazing opportunity to race (my first in 20 months!), tour and eat our way through Thailand. From the chaotic tuk-tuk rides in Bangkok to the lush, technical jungles of Chiang Mai Province - we had an absolute blast in a world that was just beginning to come back to life after being closed to travelers due to the pandemic. It was an amazing experience thanks to The Sports Authority and the good people at Thailand by UTMB.

The food, the trails, the culture, the people...I hope I did the experience and the country justice. Can't wait to visit again Thailand!

The upcoming 3rd edition of Doi Inthanon Thailand By UTMB will be an Asia Pacific Major with over 5,000 runners from 64 countries. The events will be held December 8-11, 2022.

    Seeing that Billy has posted a new Window Seat film is always a good notification. Another great film which captures a glimpse of the country, the brilliant race and the coming together of people and new friends so well is great.Thank you for sharing and well done to both of you for your races.
  • I love how you went out and found a really cool race and brought it to everyone that's not as mainstream and found a challenge. That's what running is about!
  • Nobody crosses a finish line better than Hillary Ann!!!! Another beautiful film Billy!
  • So cool to see Sebastien out there guiding the group! We did an amazing Chiang Mai multi day trail trip with him back in 2019. 🙌
  • So stoked to meet you there Billy! I’ll never forgot your 100 mile advice; the first 50 miles don’t be an idiot, the last 50 don’t be a wimp. Hope to cross paths again!
  • Perfect time to drop this awesome video to get everyone stoked for the upcoming edition 💚
  • Thanks for a great representation of the country where I learnt to trail run. So many happy memories watching this of running through the jungle, the soi dog pacers and the incredible people you meet along the way. Chok dee khrub!

    Awesome video! Never made it up north but did many of those Bangkok activities, such a vibrant city and a warm culture.

    Great stuff Billy, what a place to run. Would love to get out there someday. Only visited Thailand once myself but before I was a runner so need to return with some running on the plan!
  • Great job Billy and Hilary as well! Pretty cool adventure and you really captured the experience well.
