BLOG: On the Silk Road

Posted on October 17, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Friday afternoon. Currently posted up at the Pot Shop trying to cure my hangover that I got from partying too hard last night. Somehow all of my money was still in my wallet and I didn’t have a copy of my receipt, which is not normal. I think maybe the...Read More

BLOG: Binders Full of Stories

Posted on October 9, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Friday morning. Sitting at the coffee stand writing, as I am doing every day. Today I have been going through my binder of notes from my various post-pandemic projects. It includes the blog plan and multiple book and script plans. One of these is Strange Little Town, which is the...Read More

BLOG: La Dolce Vita

Posted on October 6, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Tuesday morning. Here we are at the coffee stand. Something crazy is happening a bit further up the street. Not really sure what it is today. I had a very interesting evening last night. It was most unexpected. I went down to the pot shop I like. I was hanging...Read More

BLOG: Not Getting Loved Up

Posted on October 5, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Monday morning. New week, new me. Waiting on my coffee, watching the world pass me by. I went out last night again. I achieved my goal of sitting in one place for a week and observing everything that goes on. I met the two military contractor gentlemen from the other...Read More

BLOG: Ridiculous

Posted on October 1, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Wednesday night. Back at the American Bar. I decided to come here every night this week just to see what happens. I was a little unsure after the shitshow that took place last night, but then I thought… why not? As it turns out, it’s totally fucking dead tonight. There...Read More

BLOG: Wow, WTF Was That?!?!?!

Posted on September 30, 2025September 30, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Tuesday night, Wednesday morning. What the fuck even was that? I don’t even know what I just experienced here in Bangkok tonight. All I know is that it was ridiculous. How do I recount this? Hmm… Okay, let me just start by saying this is how I learned my lesson...Read More

BLOG: You’re Not in The Club

Posted on September 29, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Tuesday morning. Sitting at my coffee stand, as per usual. Watching the street go by. Definitely not thinking about anyone or anything else… Last night I had dinner with a solo female travel influencer I found on YouTube. It still feels weird to meet people from the internet, but how...Read More

BLOG: Definitely Highway Robbery

Posted on September 29, 2025September 29, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Monday morning, later in the day… I have gone through my monthly financials and I have some bad news: I can no longer afford my extravagant lifestyle. I never really could. That being said, I did actually get robbed multiple times between Indonesia and Malaysia on various occasions. So many...Read More

BLOG: Is This a Ghost?

Posted on September 27, 2025September 27, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Sunday morning. Sitting here in my loft having my breakfast alone. Again. Someone (aka myself) is very irritated right now, as you can probably imagine. I don’t know where this guy is. Playing some bizarre power game with me, no doubt. I’m just sitting here trying to calculate how likely...Read More

BLOG: Just Over Here Playing the Victim

Posted on September 24, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Wednesday afternoon. My hunt for an apartment is turning up nothing but shit so far. Today I went to look at an Airbnb listing and was denied the wifi needed to use WhatsApp to call the landlord down by the front desk staff. I ended up wandering over to a...Read More
