Sunday afternoon. Waiting for my late lunch delivery to arrive. I get so overwhelmed in those big food courts. It’s easier for me to sit down and look at the delivery options. It’s all the same, you’re just paying someone to go get it for you. Totally worth it, in my opinion.
Made my plan for Bali. The only thing stopping me now is the Indonesian Immigration Website, which will not accept my application for some reason. I can’t figure out. I guess I need my laptop, which won’t log into the wifi at this hotel. It’s all very annoying and inconvenient.
I guess I’ll have to make a back up plan. I can always search for a cheaper apartment literally anywhere else in Thailand…
Have returned now from picking up and consuming said delivery. Amazing. Two appetizers, two types of rice, two entrees, and a drink for $20. I’ve eaten about a quarter of it and I am already full. So much food, it last for days. Maybe I will stay here after all…

Later that evening…
It’s a dark and stormy night here in Bangkok. I’ve just returned from the Ghost Tour. It’s not what I thought it would be. Usually it’s horrific tales of how people died or legends about weird characters that haunt the place, but this was different. This was focused around Thai funerary beliefs and traditions.
So there I was, creeping around old temples and crypts with dead bodies being cremated nearby and people leaving the funerals, on this dark and stormy night in Bangkok…
You know, as one does.
Very morbid, but I also got to interview a Thai funeral director/mortician. He said the craziest funeral they ever had at the temple was an amusement park theme. They had a Ferris wheel and mini merry- go-round with everyone dressed in bright colors.
I learned a lot about Thai culture this evening. Five star review. I need to let the experience settle a bit before I get that done.
Stopped to shop at the market on the way home. Picked up a dress with pockets and a pair of comfy street sandals like the locals wear. Very comfortable outfit. $21. Gotta love those street clothes. All I wear is stuff I bought at random shops and stands in Hong Kong and Bangkok.
Still having problems with the Indonesian visa website. Maybe I will just stay in Thailand for now. I found other apartments that are close by that are more within my preferred budget. I’ll just stay and write and look for a job.
We’ll just see what happens.
Glad I finally got out of the haunted tower and got to see more of Bangkok. I am definitely missing out. I need to move out of this ridiculous monstrosity and find somewhere else to live. Luckily, there are several options to choose from.
I still need to get my nails done. That’s the last thing on my wishlist… for now. I just have to walk down the street. I’m just being lazy…
No other writing done today except for collecting this ghost tour story, which is a pretty big deal. Lol, they had a joke skeleton with sunglasses on that reminded me of Mad Dog. I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw it. He would be in Thailand, lol.
Going to bed now. Super happy I left the apartment to go on an adventure today. Also obsessed with this dress from the street market. It has pockets!
Have a good night, y’all.
