My Thai Discovery Journey

My Thai Discovery Journey

Hi All,

Two weeks ago I decided that I needed to step outside my comfort zone and change my scenery by heading over to North Thailand for a month. It’s not a completely new experience as I have been in this area before but this time I will be there for longer, will venture further afield and will travel alone.

I am excited by this journey and intend it to be one of self discovery as much as absorbing the culture of this beautiful and friendly part of the world. My daily Yoga sessions and a Meditation Workshop have prepared me to be at peace with myself and being in this new environment will further facilitate a sense of calm as well as enlightenment.

I invite you to share my journey. I intend this thread to also serve as a travel diary and will post some pics.

I have woken early and am thinking about the last minute things that need to be done. Tonight I will be sleeping on a plane (hopefully as it’s not the easiest way for me to get rest) and come morning, I will be in a different country.

This trip is meant to be one of simplicity. I am taking just a carryon bag and won’t be partaking in the usual touristy types of things. I won’t to live the life there and am open to whatever unfolds. I have booked the first couple of nights accommodation and then will play it by ear.

So come along and let the adventure begin.

Dear @soul

What a wonderful idea.

I love a virtual holiday. It helped cheer and distract a lot of us when @Faith-and-Hope went to Europe.

When I was in Thailand 35 years ago it was in a very simple spiritual manner. I will be interested to learn what things have changed and what is still the same.

Bon Voyage!

Sawasdee @soul! I am super excited for your trip, as I've always wanted to go to Thailand myself, especially Northern Thailand, therefore I will be following along with keen interest.

I hope it is a fantastic holiday and will make heaps of great memories.

Bon voyage!

Re: My Thai Discovery Journey

At the airport. Been through screening and now have an hour before my plane leaves. I was paranoid that I would be charged excess baggage so I ditched my suitcase and went for a lighter duffle bag. As it was they didn't even weigh it. I have been caught out before and had to pay an enormous excess luggage fee.
Hope to get some sleep in the plane as I was awake well before five this morning.
