The Canal That Smells of Rain and Chilli

from Thailand Travel Podcast with Ploy Siriwan · host Ploy Siriwan

On day four in Bangkok, Ploy chases the tail of the monsoon through a wet-market morning, a rooftop coffee at a real Ari cafe, and a long, slow boat ride down the Chao Phraya. She talks practicalities — the real cost of a flat, a bowl of boat noodles, a BTS fare — and the quieter rhythm of a city in the rain. A story about finding a home base in the green season. ☕ Enjoying the show?
