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.

@soul. Things are improving slowly. Great you can pick up a paper. Small improvements weekly. Should be a big improvement in a months time.

Re: My Thai Discovery Journey

Hi all. It's been a tough week. I went to two therapy sessions and the new exercises I was given are really difficult to do. One of them entails putting my arm up to the wall straightening it as much as I can and it's absolutely excruciatingly painful to do. I make this feeble attempt at it (using my good hand to hold my bad arm up and it feels as if I have just run a marathon.

I am sure my physiotherapist is a sadist. Another two sessions this week and then a break over the Christmas and New Year period. Wonder what sort of torture is in store for me. Am going to try going for a short walk this afernoon. Won't be taking the dog at this stage.

Hello @soul Good to hear from you 😄 Keep at the torture and eventually it will just be an excercise - it will get better

Love to you
