THAILAND

Three chapters from my first moments in Phuket — from the airport doors to the energy of Bangla Road.

Thailand Diaries

THE CHAPTERS

Chapter 1

I thought I knew the world. I thought I knew myself. Then the airport doors opened.

Chapter 2

A taxi ride, a 7-Eleven stop, and one thought on repeat: I made it.

Chapter 3

A Grab to Bangla Road, a pad thai on a plastic stool, and my first Chang.
