Bangkok Day 2
This second day is devoted to a more thorough discovery of the district of Khao San Road. I begin to visit the many, many temples, each one more beautiful than the last. What is striking is that they are perfectly maintained, repainted, restored, a striking contrast with the dilapidation of most of the houses and […]
First day in Bangkok
For my first day in Bangkok, I decide to go to discover in the streets by leaving the guidebook of Routard at the hotel. The hotel in which I booked for six days is called the Four Monkeys. I chose this hotel a bit randomly on Booking, sorting the hotels from the cheapest to the […]
Flying from Barcelona
Departure from Barcelona on September 5th with Emirates. It’s been a long time since I’ve traveled on anything other than short flights with low-cost airlines. Travelling with Emirates was a very interesting experience. It is not the most expensive airline, even if it is clearly above LowCost, but I doubt that much more expensive airlines […]
Finding contacts in Thailand
That’s not the hardest part. It only took a few searches on Facebook to find a group of expats and locals whose help was invaluable in answering my questions. Facebook also allowed me to get in touch with potential apartment renters in the city I chose as my first destination: Hua Hin, on the Gulf […]

Remainder to pay: 75€ – Passport: 86€ – Passage to the “social security for expatriates” […]

– The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page. – It is not enough to be on the right path, one must not sit on it. – He who loses himself in his passion has lost less than he who loses his passion.
Obtain a Visa
In principle, applying for a visa is not very complicated. You just have to go to the embassy’s website, fill in a questionnaire and provide the requested documents. But … For a tourist visa of 3 months, it is simple. But for a one year visa, in Thailand, the quantity and the diversity of the […]
Find the best financial option
Not very easy. I’ve considered 3 options: Open an account in the country I’m going to, but each time I change countries, I have to close/open an account Keep my account in France at Credit Mutuel Only keep my Boursorama account (online bank) At the same time, other questions arise: Should I have my retirement […]
Harrison Ford
I wanted to live the real life, a different life. I didn’t want to go to the same place every day to see the same people and do the same job. I wanted interesting challenges.
Jacques Brel
I wish you endless dreams and the furious desire to realize some of them. I wish you to love what you must love and to forget what you must forget. I wish you passions, I wish you silences. I wish you birdsong in the morning and children’s laughter. I wish you to respect the differences […]
