MEANWHILE IN THAILAND IS ABOUT LIVING ABROAD
This blog offers a collection of personal impressions and observations from living in Thailand and traveling in other Southeast Asian countries. If you are interested in learning about the unique cultures, traditions, and encounters in this part of the world, Meanwhile in Thailand is an ideal resource for you.
The site does not provide tips on where to stay or recommendations for places to eat and go out. Plenty of resources are available on the internet and social media for that. Instead, this blog focuses on capturing the unique experiences and emotions that arise when someone is far away from their home. People often see things from a different perspective when traveling, and this website aims to share some of those views.
