There is MORE to THAILAND🇹🇭 than just SEXTRADE.

Thailand extends beyond its notorious reputation in the s*x trade.

Are you tired of cringeyworthy stories from individuals fixated on Soi Cowboy, budget s*x, ping pong shows, and Thai s*x workers? This beautiful country and culture have much more to offer than just s*x.

On my flight to Phuket, I endured the most obnoxious conversations of four guys (likely American and Aussie from their accents) vividly recounting their exploits with s*x workers in Bangkok and crude remarks about flight attendants.

It's disheartening that Thailand and other Southeast Asian nations are often associated with inexpensive "s*xcations." While many Thais disapprove, economic benefits lead some to turn a blind eye.

However, why do some foreign visitors act superior, joking about s*x workers and dehumanizing them? And why do some view young Thai girls not involved in the s*x trade as commodities?

For those seeking "s*xcations" in Thailand, understand that s*x workers may smile to please you, not necessarily out of desire. They may lack other opportunities or be coerced into this profession.
The money you spend, seemingly significant from your home country, sustains them as they support multiple family members, often originating from small towns. Despite their sacrifices, they endure shame and hide their earnings.

If you choose to engage in this industry, do so with respect. You're engaging with human beings—individuals with emotions, insecurities, and fears similar to your own.

These women and men lead challenging lives you may never comprehend, risking their well-being for your questionable entertainment. There's no excuse for cruelty or disrespect; remember, you're dealing with people, not commodities.

My little escape to Japan 🇯🇵without traveling to Japan .

📍Yunomori Onsen Sathorn🇹🇭

As someone who worked in pastry for 4 years,I have started reviewing cafes mostly in Asia as their cafe culture is out of this world.

So it's the food,design and culture that I take note of ,this centerpiece is definitely something I want in my kitchen and it should be reachable for me to use some of the utensils I don't know if it's a good or bad thing but I'm definitely having it.
This is from a French /Thai Cafe Bijouxdebeurre.Echire .

Upon entering the door at Bijoux de Beurre Echire, the enticing fragrance of bread and butter captivates.
Every creation at this french style cafe is crafted with Echire butter, a century-old French AOP butter from the village of Échiré, known for its traditional wooden barrel churning, resulting in a velvety texture and distinctive aroma.

Recently discovering their new branch at Emsphere mall, I encountered a warm and passionate team. Engaging with the store manager, I gained insights into the meticulous process behind their exquisite 12-layer, 4-butter fold croissants. I wholeheartedly recommend trying everything; my experience was exceptional.

My new 2024 lines to people who want to mess with me .

"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career, skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you. I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you."

Christmas Market at Emsphere at EM District .

The newest mall in Bangkok may have just opened its doors last week but it already has a festive market you could visit—that is, if you can handle the crowds. Located in the middle of the ground floor, EmSphere’s market boasts a variety of things for you to enjoy from drinks to food. There are also some seats and tables for you to enjoy your delicacies there and then, but again, it’s going to be a bit of a challenge with the crowds. There’s no definite date as to when this market will end but it will probably be around January, so pay a visit soon.
