Thailand day 1

Thailand Day 1: Christmas Edition; Now With 0% Brain Function 🎄🇹🇭

So.
It was Christmas Day.
We bravely left our home like two festive idiots and headed to the airport because apparently we hate sleep and love chaos.
Cue:
✈️ A LOOOOONG flight
🕳️ One entire day vanishing into thin air
⏰ Arrival in Bangkok at 6 AM, Dec 25
🚕 Really long cab drive to Rayong
🎅Christmas? Never heard of it.

We arrive looking like two unpaid extras from The Walking Dead: Jetlag Edition.
Customs? Survived.
Baggage claim? Psychological warfare.
We waited.
And waited.
And waited some more.
We stood there waiting so long I started naming the suitcases.

Then: THE CAB DRIVER HUNT.
We’re walking around the airport like lost NPC tourists, spinning in circles, whisper-shouting: “Is this him?” “No.” “Maybe?” “No.” “Why are there 400 men with signs???”
WE  SURVIVED.

Then like a wholesome Christmas miracle.
We meet Rasmus’ grandpa + wife, dad + wife, and little brother and honestly??
They were so cute and cozy I almost forgot I hadn’t slept since last year.

Another cab.
Another prayer.
Hotel check-in EARLY.
I almost cried on the lobby floor out of gratitude.

We take a “nap” (aka a 2.5-hour coma).
Wake up like "What day is it? Did we sleep a whole day?"

And then we WALK.
And walk.
And walk.
And WALK.
Until we reach a mall because of course everything in Thailand eventually becomes a mall.

We meet his dad & co again, stroll around, try to look alive.
Meanwhile my lovely boyfriend had officially entered his
✨ tired & slightly grumpy motherf*cker era
(no offense babe, I love you, but you were giving exhausted feral).

So we did the most responsible thing possible:
👉 Went to bed EARLY.
👉 On Christmas.
👉 In RAYONG.

Romantic?
No.
Iconic survival behavior?
ABSOLUTELY.
Thailand Day 1:
✨ 1 day disappeared
✨ 0 energy
✨ 10/10 vibes
✨ Still alive
Stay tuned. This trip is just getting started 😌🇹🇭✈️
