Monday morning. Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day to All My Relations! Here at the coffee stand. There were bananas on the table I like, so they moved them for me to sit down. The people are so nice here. They love that I come here to write every day. I’m happy...Read More

Sunday afternoon. Currently sitting alone at the American Bar having a Bloody Mary and grilled cheese to recover from yesterday. How did it go with the ex-military contractor guys? Oh, about how you’d expect. Something like napalm... Our Bachelor of the Day is a loud, obnoxious American with a family...Read More

Wednesday morning. Here at the coffee stand, as per usual. Writing the morning away. All of the regulars at this stand know me know. There is one lady who always sits alone looking very sad and weary. She smiled brightly at me when I came in and said hello to...Read More

Saturday night. Here we are, back at the scene of the crime. Part of me is hoping Antony never shows back up here ever again, and the other half of me just wants to throw a drink in his face. I am trying not to think about it. I spent...Read More

BLOG: He’s a Scoundrel and a Rake

Posted on October 3, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Saturday morning. Sitting at the coffee stand, as per usual. Watching the traffic pass by. My brain made the effort to help me forget Antony by bringing up the memory of Andrew while I slept. It was very unpleasant. Neither of us were happy to see each other. I was...Read More

Friday night. Sitting in a random Thai cafe alone waiting for dinner. Finally willed myself to get up and go out after feeling semi-depressed today. At least the food in Thailand is always worth it, even if the male company leaves much to be desired. Ugh, I can’t believe that...Read More

Friday afternoon. Did not sleep very well last night, so I slept in late this morning. Now I am at the coffee stand, watching the intersection like I do every day. This is my life now. I live here in Bangkok, Thailand. Crazy how the world works. This really is...Read More

Thursday morning. Sitting at the cafe watching traffic pass by. It’s not as busy here today as it has been the last few days. Right now it’s just me and the lady’s old white boyfriend. He says he is from Germany and doesn’t speak English. I guess I should stop...Read More

Wednesday morning. Oh my god. I am still processing the insanity of my evening last night. It was really something… Wow, what was that? That was dating in Thailand. So far we’ve got Temporary Visa Tourist Guy and Passport Bro. What’s next, I wonder? Big Dumb Surfer Guy, maybe? He...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
