Every once in a while, i find it deeply rewarding to spend some alone time in a place away from ‘home’. More often than not, i pick a place based on cost of living and overall quality of life – so when i found return flights to Bangkok under 20K, i went ahead and booked my yearly ‘sabbatical’, if you may. The agenda was to just experience life in a different city, and Bangkok has always been one of my favorite cities. Think reading, writing, keeping a healthy schedule, eating on time, going to bed before midnight and all this while soaking in the local culture, flavors, sights and sounds of an alternate ‘home’ / reality. That really is the essence of travel to me – exploring alternate realities, or as i call it… ‘mini lives’! This month long stint in Bangkok allowed me to retrospect, introspect, prospect and just enjoy what most people pass off as ‘just a pitstop’ as they scurry around to more ‘offbeat’, or perhaps touristy places – anything but Bangkok – because why would anyone live in a capital city for this long? Allow me to explain, with nearly 20 reasons 🙂 1. Easy Visas...
