Travel in 2025
In 2025, I stayed in Thailand for 29 days. According to my initial plan, I intended to use Pattaya as a base and travel to Bangkok and other regional cities. However, early in the trip, I accidentally dropped my smartphone in water and lost all data. On top of that, I also lost internet access. As a result, I had to make major changes to my itinerary and ended up spending most of the days in Pattaya. The most mentally taxing part of traveling in Thailand is long-distance travel within the country, so not having to deal with that this time allowed me to spend my time more comfortably. My biggest enjoyment became eating, and I spent time discovering reasonably priced restaurants. Although I rented a motorcycle, I also walked quite a bit within Pattaya — for example, from the southern to the northern end of Pattaya Beach.
Prepared necessary for long stay
This is a record of my activities on the day I arrived in Thailand. I traveled from the airport to Pattaya, rented a motorcycle locally, and took care of fuel, currency exchange, and shopping for daily necessities and food in preparation for a long-term stay.
Meal records during stay
This is a record of my meals during my 29-day stay in Thailand. I edited the meal videos roughly in three-day segments. Each segment includes the dish name, price, and, where possible, the name of the restaurant along with images. Detailed information, including location data, is compiled within the video.
Visited cities on the trip
During this trip, I stayed in both Pattaya and Bangkok. Since I couldn't use my smartphone, I had difficulty accessing real-time transportation information in Bangkok. As a result, my time in Bangkok consisted of two separate plans: a 2-night, 3-day stay and a day trip.
Souvenirs
On this trip, I brought back more souvenirs, both in number and quantity, than on my previous one. I picked up heavy items like honey and coconut oil. In particular, the coffee beans alone weighed over 1 kilogram in total. I also ended up buying things like cocoa powder and milk powder—items that hardly seem like typical Thai souvenirs.
