Thursday evening. Last night in the fancy skyrise loft. Tomorrow I’m moving into the new place. Looking forward to it. Went to explore the new neighborhood today. I was told it was “quiet.” We clearly have different ideas of what constitutes quiet, lol. It’s not quiet at all. As it...Read More

Thursday morning. I’ve officially been in Thailand for a month. I am moving into my new place tomorrow for a second month. I still have no idea what I’m doing. It’s fine! Last night was pretty crazy. I couldn’t handle the rooftop vibe so I decided to venture out in...Read More

Wednesday morning. End of July. I’ve officially been in Thailand for a whole month. What have I done with my time? That’s right, nothing productive, lol. We must change that, ASAP. Well, something interesting did happen to me last night. I was on the rooftop alone having a smoke, which...Read More

Tuesday afternoon. Sitting at an open-air cafe with a lemon soda, waiting on an order of fried rice and pad Thai. This is exactly what I thought Thailand would be like.

Tuesday morning. Back at my favourite coffee stand, which I somehow managed to survive two full days without. I want to stay in this neighborhood specifically for this coffee stand. I am obsessed. Not sure what the daily drama unfolding in front of me today is about. There’s three Thai...Read More

Monday evening. I’ve had some dranks, which I have not been doing so much of here in Thailand. But today was a day and I’m going through some shit, so I decided to purchase not one, but two large Thai beers from the vending machine downstairs. Now I’m sitting here...Read More

BLOG: “I’m Extending My Stay”

Posted on July 28, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Monday afternoon. Here I am. They say Thailand is “The Land of Smiles,” but the tagline should really be “I’m extending my stay.” There is just no way I am getting on a plane to India after what happened last night. It’s just a big Nope for me. Nope. Just…...Read More

Monday. Last day in Thailand. The coffee stand was closed again today for the holiday, so I wandered down a random side street and found another one. Definitely a disruption of the comfortable routine I’ve become accustomed to over the course of the month. Not very motivated to move right...Read More

Sunday morning. Sitting on the rooftop. Tried to get a coffee but the place was closed. I went across the street but they didn’t take cash so I returned to the hotel to make a new plan of action. Now I am here, trying to decide where to go. Yesterday...Read More

Saturday morning. Sitting on the rooftop with a j. Enjoying my last weekend in Thailand, for now. I did nothing last night except fall asleep early. I feel kinda bad because the guy texted me again to hook up and I missed his message because I fell asleep at 9:30pm...Read More
