Also, lowkey nervous about this trip. I have a night train (very curious?) and some night busses and I know it probably won’t be the comfort I’m used to, but honestly, I wanna experience the authentic life and just live those weeks… I did them quite a bit in South America, but there they are much higher quality than South East Asia (well more so I could easily afford the most luxurious there and I can’t this trip) soooo
I’m stressed a little bit
I might have wasted quite a bit of money
I accidentally selected the wrong date
(Okay, it’s just like 15 dollar, but still…)
Tomorrow is the day
I’ll be on a super long flight to Bangkok
I’m so excited but also nervous
It’s still terrifying for me such trips
It’s quite a long time and it’s just a lot of things that can go wrong
But also so many hopefully amazing things I’ll experience the next weeks
Ahhhh I’m so excited for you Jass!!
I had a trip to Thailand when I was about 11 and absolutely loved it! Definitely wanna go back one day
Have so much fun!!
Well it’s off to an amazing start
My flight was delayed so I missed my connecting flight
All in all it only costs me 3 hours
Plus a whole lot of stress
Okay, okay, so I’ve had some pretty decent first days
But getting out of Bangkok tomorrow which is bringing me a whole lot of stress because I just can’t seem to figure out a way to actually make my plans work
I wanna sleep in a bit
I wanna see some stuff in Ayutthaya tomorrow before I get on the night train
I don’t wanna have to carry around my backpack while I do that
Preferably I would like a direct as possible route but it just all is so complex and I just can’t figure it out for a decent price
Okay deep breath
I got this
I’ve been in more frustrating situations in the past
It’s mostly money I’m worried about rn cause it’s poof disappearing like it’s nothing
But I might just treat myself to a direct taxi tomorrow cause wellll, time cost effective it’s the best option, and I might just book a hostel in Ayutthaya so I have the option to store my luggage, rent a cheaper bike to see more and possibly have a shower
This thread is turning in a ranting thread specifically for travelling, lol
But I’m terrified
Tomorrow I’m crossing a land border for the first time outside of Europe, and it’s just terrifying and I heard a lot of scary stories
But I’m sure it will be fine. No matter what it’ll be an experience, that’s for sure
Finally started planning my first solo international trip for 2025
