No stranger to Thailand’s well-worn backpacking trail, I’ve long been enamoured with the hospitable country’s capital, Bangkok.
It’s a city that provides the jumping off point for many a fresh-faced and eager adventurer. But unlike on my previous visits, when I was backpacking on a seriously low budget, my latest layover in the city earlier this year was an altogether novel experience. I experienced Bangkok through a more refined, shall we say, White Lotus-esque lens.
