years ago, while i was in the military (not the greatest way to see the beauty of a country) i got to spend some time in Thailand. I wish I remember the name of the area we were in but it was probably Pattaya. I had the oppty to go out and see some of the area while we were there-it was gorgeous. The Thai ppl were incredibly welcoming, and the most friendly ppl I have ever encountered.
@FayreLylith @Ishihara @Jezibaba Thai culture is phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal.
@Apocryphiliac @FayreLylith @Ishihara I'm excited. we were planning before covid and then put on hold. It sucks.
@Jezibaba @FayreLylith @Ishihara I’ll share a couple of photos from my travels if you would like. To put you in the mood for all the incredible stuff you’ve got in store. 💚
@Apocryphiliac @FayreLylith @Ishihara Yes, please.
@Jezibaba @FayreLylith @Ishihara These will seem really random… and apologies if I’ve posted any of them before.

@Jezibaba @FayreLylith @Ishihara oh, also… sorry for not cropping. Lazy af mode today. Also sorry for the shit quality. Lol

@Jezibaba @FayreLylith @Ishihara Best of all are the friends you make on the way… which is another reason why I hate using travel agent tours and resorts. You don’t connect with the culture, the people, or fellow travelers the same. You have to get lost. The you can find what’s important. That’s my motto, anyway.

@Jezibaba @FayreLylith @Ishihara These photos are hitting me. 😂 Memories are strong with them.

@Jezibaba @FayreLylith @Ishihara The first three photos are from the Royal Palace, Bangkok. The last one is, I believe it’s from Mỹ Sơn, in Vietnam.
@rokkinbobokkin @Apocryphiliac @Jezibaba @Ishihara I spent some time in Seoul & surrounding areas a while back as well-also with the military. I'd love to go back to E/SE Asia.
@FayreLylith @Apocryphiliac @Jezibaba @Ishihara
I adored S Korea. That's the place #1 I'd like to return to and spend more time than before.
@rokkinbobokkin @FayreLylith @Jezibaba @Ishihara I think I’ve mentioned it, but lived in SK for 5 years. Left bc I thought my family would have a better life here. A decade + on and I feel like I might’ve shanked that one.
@Apocryphiliac @FayreLylith @Jezibaba @Ishihara
I hear American style burger and rib places are the hot trend right now in Korea. I'd love to see how that's going.
When I was in T-Land Korean BBQ was hot. And Saturday nights, there would be huge lines of Thai outside the popular Korean BBQ places. Of course I had to try.
In a foreign country ALWAYS look for the places where the locals are mobbing up for grub.
@rokkinbobokkin @FayreLylith @Jezibaba @Ishihara wow you just reminded me I have to “hunt” some food up today. Thanks.
