Just came back from a month long solo trip to Thailand. Covered Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and some more of the north + Bangkok, Pattaya and neighbouring areas.

Got flights super cheap around 15K return from Kolkata that too during Songkran. Stay was around 2.5k average per day. Chiang Mai was cheap, Bangkok slightly expensive. I used credit cards so got 30-50% value back in points.

Food per day can be done for around 500-600. For me it was 1k average since I ate whatever looked interesting irrespective of budget. Used grab bikes or bus/BTS for intra city travel generally around 50-150 per ride depending on distance.

The major expense was on alcohol and parties as I went out on 70% of the nights.

Loved Chiang Mai (will go back again and live longer even thinking of shifting their permanently on DTV), hated Pattaya (too intense NSFW scene), neutral about Bangkok (cool city but noisy crowded and April was too hot).

Chiang Mai to Bangkok flight was 4k.

If someone is conscious about the budget, 1 month can easily be done for 80K-1L including flights. I overstretched a bit but no regrets with the memories I created.

Nobody Wins The Game Of Life

One of the greatest psychological manipulations ever done to humanity was convincing people that life is a race.

The moment a child is born, comparison begins.
Who walks first.
Who studies better.
Who earns more.
Who becomes “successful”.

And slowly, human beings stop living naturally and start functioning mechanically.

School starts measuring us through marks.
College through rankings.
Jobs through salaries.
Society through status.

And after years of this conditioning, comparison becomes automatic. So deeply rooted that people don’t even realise they are living through borrowed definitions of success.

Yes, life is a battle.
But I don’t think the battle is against each other.

The real battle is within ourselves.
Against fear.
Against ego.
Against insecurity.
Against loneliness.
Against suffering.

Others are not enemies. They are fellow humans fighting their own invisible battles.

What feels strange to me is how people compete with each other endlessly, yet also seek love, validation, friendship and connection from the same people. Somewhere along the way, respect, compassion and camaraderie started deteriorating under this obsession of “getting ahead”.

We created systems to measure performance and then accidentally started measuring human worth through them.

A salary cannot measure wisdom.
A degree cannot measure awareness.
A social image cannot measure peace.

And honestly, I don’t think life has some final destination where the universe hands you a report card for performance review.

There is no ultimate scoreboard.
No finish line where everything suddenly makes sense.

Life is not something to win.
It is something to experience before it ends.

Do we meet ?

I have seen in other 30s sub from Bangalore and Mumbai people meet up to connect and have a good time. No uncomfortable stuff, it can be a lunch, gaming, reading together, photo walks etc. Have we ever done that ?
