Do you have a place that you call home that isn’t where you live?
Bangkok is that place for me. There’s something about Bangkok that I can never quite put into words. It’s hard for me to describe it but I instantly feel better as soon as I am in Bangkok. It feels like home to me. Maybe it’s the just the way Bangkok always knows how to calm me down.
Every time I’m here, it feels like a reset. My mind slows. My heart feels lighter. My soul feels centered. Bangkok has a way of reminding me that it’s okay to just be. The city doesn’t ask me to explain myself—it just welcomes me. And somehow, I always feel at home.
Bangkok is the one place that helps me slow down everything. The rushing thoughts. The never-ending to-do lists. The noise in my head. Somehow, being here makes me breathe deeper. And I start to see things clearer—not because life magically changes, but because I do. This city grounds me in a way I didn’t know I needed.
Maybe it’s in the quiet kindness of the people. Maybe its their non-judgmental nature so you are free to be who you are. They even make coffee the way I like it (yes, Factory Coffee, I am referring to you!). The way they never rush and take time for you.
Now, as I sit here on my last day in Bangkok, I’m filled with gratitude. I came here needing a pause. I found peace.
Life has been crazy lately, I barely had enough time to breathe. Bangkok has yet to fail me. I knew that I would feel better just by being here.
And though I’ve packed my bags and I am waiting for my flight in this terrible weather, I’m taking the calm with me. The quiet confidence. The sense of enoughness.
I’m ready to go back now.
Back to the hustle, the never-ending to do lists, the plans.
But I’ll return with a steadier heart, a stronger spirit, and a fire that’s been gently reignited.
Thank you Bangkok. You always know how to bring me home—even when I’m far from it.
Till the next time I see you again.
