Thanks so much sharing Jule. I'm excited to follow along with the journey, I backpacked (SE) Asia for 5 months last year and dreaming everyday of being back. I would love to travel by bike next time. Have fun in Thailand, you should be there during Songkran!
However, I just wanted to point out a little contradiction I noticed. It was mentioned that people were drunk whilst also noting that many were breaking their fast at the park. If they were breaking their fast, that would mean that they are Muslim. If I’m not mistake, alcohol consumption is prohibited by their religion hence they must not have been drunk (maybe just on lemonade).
You’re right to point that out! I noticed the contradiction myself while writing. However, the people who stayed late were clearly drunk, openly drinking beer. Of course, I can’t say for certain whether they were also Muslim or just happened to be in the park because of the lively atmosphere.

Great article, camping doesn’t sound too bad!

"I would wish these experiences for everyone, as they bring you a little more faith in a world that, at times, feels upside down…"
Love the optimistic positive note you end on ❤️
