About Sami Ngo
Hey I'm Sami.
I've been a practicing PA (primary and urgent care) for 10 years.
But in 2021, I suffered pandemic burnout and I made a huge change.
I quit my full-time PA job and moved my family from Las Vegas, Nevada to Phuket, Thailand.
At 35 years old, I took the unconventional route and reinvented myself.
I'm on a mission to build a community of like-minded med geeks who share a common goal: live life without rules, without fear and without financial burden.
