Posted on February 12, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Friday. Will I ever return to Hong Kong? I don’t know. It’s funny how I never expected to end up in Bangkok, yet it feels more like home. I had this whole plan a year ago. Nothing went according to that plan. Yet somehow, I have ended up here and...Read More

Wednesday. Still in Bangkok. It’s very easy to stay in my little bubble here. It’s very comfortable. I never want to leave. I’m obsessed with my safe space. I feel so calm and relaxed all the time. It’s such a relief to be so far away from the nightmare life...Read More

Sunday morning at the coffee stand. I was not feeling well this weekend so I did not come here yesterday. I have not been feeling quite right ever since I ate the squid… never again. Because of this, I haven’t really done anything since I made my discovery. I think...Read More

Thursday. Here we are in BKK. I still have not resolved my housing situation in Hong Kong, though not for lack of trying. It’s very stressful. It’s insanity. I don’t know why I’m determined to make it work. It’s… exhausting. I guess I have something to prove to everyone, I...Read More

Wednesday. Sitting at the coffee stand. Watching the world pass me by. Not feeling quite as lost as I used to feel when I was here before in Thailand. Hong Kong has truly been a stabilizing force in my life. I would like more of that energy, please. I haven’t...Read More

BLOG: Month Number Nine

Posted on February 2, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Tuesday. Here we are… Month #9 at SEA. I can’t believe I haven’t given up yet, lol. Yet here I am, back in Bangkok, after conveniently deciding to miss my flight yesterday. You see, I have an interesting problem. I have an apartment here, but I do not have an...Read More

BLOG: Wild Farang Night Out

Posted on January 31, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Sunday. Sitting here at the coffee stand, watching traffic go by. It is true what they say:: the congestion is particularly bad this time of year. I learned last night to always carry a scarf after two motorbike rides through the streets of Bangkok at various times of night. It...Read More

BLOG: I Love Travel, But I Also Hate Travel

Posted on January 27, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Okay. Tuesday. Today has been rocky so far, as it always is when I travel. I was not very motivated to get out of bed, but then I remembered I would never have to use that horrible shower that is irritating my skin ever again. Got all my stuff packed...Read More

BLOG: The Call of the Wild Farang

Monday. I feel like I never write anymore since I put my latest manuscript together. Hong Kong has me focused on an entirely different beast, which is stability. Naturally, I have made the irresponsible decision to escape this stressful, demanding lifestyle for a week to go to Bangkok. Why? Mostly...Read More

BLOG: Time to Move Again…

Posted on January 19, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Monday evening. Resting after yesterday’s epic All-You-Can-Eat, All-You-Can-Drink Contest. My friend ate the most chicken wings, while I held my drink like a boss. It was fun! I do so love living here in Hong Kong. I feel safe. I feel calm. I think this is probably the safest I’ve...Read More
