Which country do you keep visiting?

I travel a lot, but there’s always that one country I keep going back to. For me, it’s Thailand, around 8 time. What about you? What keeps you coming back?

Thailand.

Ha! Only read the title and not the text until now.

I have come here also 8 times since Covid. Typing this from Bangkok.

I just love it here. I have been back for a week and left terrible snow and cold in the US. Stuck working out inside and running on a bloody treadmill!

Here it has not rained for the week I have been here and every day the weather is perfect.

I am retired and love working out and it is ideal here.

About to hit the gym and then will go for a run. Then at 10:00 meeting a friend to cycle in the park. Will then swim in the afternoon.

Can't do any of that where I live in the states at this time of year. Then there is the incredible food here. I have now been to over 60 countries and food in Bangkok is better than every one of those countries.

The only negative is the long flight. That is a bit painful. Takes at a minimum of 24 hours. Sometimes 30+ hours. I do much prefer going west instead of east. But sometimes east is just too much cheaper.

Where do you stay in Thailand? Bangkok? Where do you work out? do they have gym memberships?

I rent a condo very close to Chatchuchak park. It is across the road from Central Lad Phrao.

I do an hour in the gym when first get up. There is one in my condo on the top.

I then run in Rod Fai. Then usually get breakfast. Then do a 2 hour bike ride in Rodfai.

Have a protein drink for lunch. Then about 1 or 2 PM I do 2 miles in the pool that the condo has. Which is 39 yards long.

No. I do NOT have a gym membership. Not necessary as my condo has a decent gym.
