My encounter with Suni, the owner of “Oasis” resort, was anything but ordinary. It remains unexplained and even mystical, especially considering our two chance meetings in the vast city of Chiang Mai in northern Thailand.
We first met Suni, a Thai beauty, when we came to check out “Oasis” resort. She was with her German husband, Robert. The connection with Suni was instant.
Suni radiated strength, energy, joy, and divine kindness. Her openness and friendliness were clear signals that we needed to stay at “Oasis”. Plus, the internet was perfect for my work!
We came to “Oasis” seeking good internet, recommended by Irina Kozlova via Dmitry Smakotin. A big thanks to them both!
Suni became my first Thai friend, and our brief friendship revealed much about Thai people. She even took us to a sacred mountain, introducing us to a world and philosophy unknown to many tourists. More on that later…
Our friendship deepened on her birthday. Suni devoted much of her free time to us, engaging in long conversations and sharing meals with her family. She loved hosting parties for family and guests, always ensuring everyone had a great time.
For digital nomads, these unexpected friendships are the real treasure of our lifestyle. They offer insights into local culture that no guidebook can provide.
In the next post, I’ll explain how water supply works in resorts on Koh Chang, Thailand. This kind of practical knowledge is gold for long-term digital nomads!
Share in the comments your impressions of Thai people when you got to know them better. Your experiences could help fellow nomads connect more deeply in their travels!
Remember, sometimes the quest for good WiFi can lead to life-changing friendships. Stay open to the possibilities, nomads!
