How to skip the Thai military draft? 🇹🇭

I asked a local Charlie | Travel Content Creator if he ever had to do the draft — the red or black card lottery that decides the next years of so many Thai men’s lives. Turns out… there’s a way to skip it completely. 👀

Would you take the shortcut, or risk the card?

Bangkok never stops surprising! 🤩
A magical performance of thousands of drones lighting up the sky over the Chao Phraya River.

December is definitely the best month to visit, with so many free events. You can watch the drone and fireworks shows near Memorial Bridge until December 21. Hop on a boat or watch from the bridge — totally free.

Who’s coming to BANGKOK soon? 🎊

Six years abroad and I still can’t answer the one question that matters: where’s home? 🏠 🥹

I’m flying back to Poland right now to see my family, and somewhere along the way it stopped feeling like home. But Thailand isn’t fully home either. I’ve built my whole life here, and I still deal with visas, I don’t have a passport from here. So I live in this in-between place, and nobody warns you about that part before you leave.

If you’ve moved abroad too: does anywhere feel like home to you now, or are you in the in-between? Tell me in the comments, I really want to know I’m not the only one. 🫶
