In this episode of 'Babes, How Did You Get Here?', we dive deep into the reality of expat life in Thailand with Adam, a content creator who ditched his hospitality career in 2017 for Seoul, South Korea, before eventually landing in Bangkok during the pandemic. With just $6,000 and no Plan B, he bet everything on YouTube – and won.

Whether you're dreaming of escaping the 9-5, curious about life as a digital nomad, or wondering what it really takes to make it as a content creator abroad, this conversation strips away the Instagram filters to reveal what expat life in Bangkok actually looks like.
