Hi Traveler, it’s Journey Wilde with Gay Thai Travel, …and sweetie, I need to talk about what happened to me at the Grand Palace in Bangkok, because I am still not okay. Like, genuinely emotionally compromised. I walked in thinking I was a seasoned traveler with a cool, detached, I’ve-seen-things energy, and I walked out […]

Hi Traveler, it’s Journey Wilde with Gay Thai Travel, …and honey, I went into the bush. Literally. Like, actual jungle, actual animals, actual mud on my very cute trail runners. We are not talking metaphorical bush today, babes. We are talking Khao Yai National Park, UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to elephants, gibbons, hornbills, and, […]

Hi Traveler, it’s Journey Wilde with Gay Thai Travel, Let me paint you a picture. There I am, standing on the deck of a river boat, hair doing something chaotic in the breeze, clutching a cold Chang like it owes me money, watching the sun slowly melt behind Wat Arun… and I fully teared up. […]

Hi Traveler, it’s Journey Wilde with Gay Thai Travel, …and I need to tell you about the day I willingly climbed seventeen floors inside a dragon. Let me back up. Bangkok has temples. A lot of temples. Gurl, you could spend an entire trip doing nothing but temples and still barely scratch the surface. But […]

Hi Traveler, it’s Journey Wilde with Gay Thai Travel, …and today I did something that my younger, more rested self would have called ambitious and my current self calls a personal crisis with good lighting.

I am, in […]

Hi Traveler, it’s Journey Wilde with Gay Thai Travel, Look, I’ve been to a lot of Pride events in my life. Big ones, small ones, the kind where a corporate float sponsored by a bank somehow ends up leading the parade, and the kind where someone’s auntie shows up with a homemade sign and absolutely […]

Hi Traveler, it’s Journey Wilde with Gay Thai Travel, …and today we are talking about Tonsai Beach on Koh Phi Phi, which is exactly the kind of place that makes you question every life choice that kept you sitting in an office for the past decade. Limestone cliffs jutting out of turquoise water, longtail boats […]

Hi Traveler, it’s Journey Wilde with Gay Thai Travel, …and I need to talk about Ko Samui. Specifically, I need to talk about what Ko Samui did to me in forty-eight hours, because sis, I was not prepared. I rolled up thinking, two days, cute little island, I’ll relax, maybe get a massage, take some […]

Hi Traveler, it’s Journey Wilde with Gay Thai Travel, Let me paint you a picture. It’s 34 degrees in Phuket, the humidity is doing things to my hair that no product can fix, and I’m standing at the entrance of Dream Hotel & Spa wondering if I look as fabulous arriving as I feel inside. […]
