A 430 day break from travel

After landing in Bangkok, for various reasons, I decided not to carry on the cycle trip. My options were:

  • Cycle to Laos and get a Chinese tourist visa in Vientiane
  • Cycle through Myanmar into India and go that route
  • Find a job in Thailand and later do the DELTA course
I chose the last option. There were some factors that helped me make this decision: the coming winter, the state of the world at the time with the Syrian conflict, a desire to do the DELTA course for many years.

In the little more than a year a spent in Thailand I:
  • Mooched around - 2 months
  • Worked in Mae Sai in northern Thailand - 4 months
  • Worked in Bangkok - 6 months
  • Did the intensive DELTA course - 2 months 
I had a fantastic time with all the people I met in these places.
