In this episode, I talk about the Pratunam area in Bangkok, one of the city’s busiest commercial districts. It is a chaotic place filled with crowds, street vendors, and international buyers, creating a unique atmosphere that can feel overwhelming yet strangely energizing. I share my personal experiences, including interactions at local food stalls and observations about pricing, service, and behavior in tourist-heavy areas. While the environment may be noisy, crowded, and uncomfortable, it also reflects the raw energy of economic activity. This episode explores an important idea: chaos can be both unpleasant and attractive, drawing people in for different reasons.
