Musings: Khob Krun Krup, Krung Thep

Just some random thoughts...

Bangkok never disappoints. It is one of my happy places because it was in this setting that I was thrown into the deep end and forced to learn how to make my way in the world. I learned how to read my environment and assess what I need to do to figure the place out. My time in Bangkok gave me the confidence to become comfortable with being uncomfortable, and from there, to cultivate the internal resources to figure (or muddle, depending on how you view it) my way through almost anything.

I've lived in four countries, traveled to dozens more, and changed careers more often than I care to admit. In fact, four years ago when I took my career break, I didn't know what would be next for me career wise, but when I was approached to work in my current job, I embraced the challenge even though I had never worked in the industry (banking) or in that functional area (IT/digital transformation). Sure, it has been a steep learning curve, but it was in Bangkok that I learned to not fear the unknown and the learning curves that come with it, and I am a better person for it. For that, I owe Bangkok (Krung Thep) a huge and heartfelt khob khun krup.
