Episode 20: World Trip I (pt. 11) – Georgetown, Koh Tao & Bangkok

In this episode of "Sleepless in Singapore," I recount my journey from Tioman Island to Georgetown, Penang, and further to Bangkok. Georgetown's colonial charm captivates me, with its vibrant street food and stunning murals. A scooter tour reveals Penang's natural beauty, and an adventurous ferry ride leads me to Thailand, where I navigate border crossings and local trains.

Reaching Koh Tao, I relish the island's serene beaches and laid-back vibe, despite a rustic overnight boat journey. Bangkok greets me with the chaos of Khao San Road, a lost phone, and a strange encounter with a woman selling a house in Sweden. Yet, the city redeems itself with picturesque views from a skyscraper and a memorable seafood feast with an old friend.
