This coming 7th of March marks my second year of staying here in Thailand.

It has been a beautiful and eye-opening experience, to say the least. It has not been a bed of roses of course, just like in any other place. Yet the wonderful moments far outweigh any setbacks.

Working abroad as a mom has been difficult but there have also been advantages; one of them is travel. Since my husband and I worked as teachers, we had ample weekends, holidays, summer and semesterly breaks. We used some of these breaks to explore the beauty of the land of smiles. The farthest I’ve been is only 200+ kilometers away from Bangkok, but it had been enough for me to fall in love with this country.

Here are some of the places I’ve been here in Bangkok and nearby provinces. I also shared some travel tips towards the end.

One of the perks of being a teacher: going to places like this for free!
