Departures: Travel & Lifestyle - ✈️ Destination Bangkok.
👨✈️ The Briefing Room:Notes and open topics from the editor’s desk. Welcome Departures. The place to be for where to go and what to see. When I started this newsletter last year I had little idea how far and fast this simple journal would grow. As the world opened up from the pandemic and travel demand surged, I definitely underestimated the appetite for travel related content. So thank you for everyone for your feedback and support. After taking a long deserved break to travel, recalibrate and put the finishing touches to the production studio, we are back for a new season of Departures. There is tons to cover so now without further ado, let’s take it away! Alvin 📰 This Week in Travel:A TLDR approach to some of the week’s most important headlines.
📸 Destination Deep Dive:Comprehensive series on a single destination. Right up until Thailand put its COVID restrictions in place and completely closed its borders off to non-nationals, Bangkok was a place I called home for a good part of the last decade. It is a vibrant and bustling city renowned for its delicious street food, vibrant nightlife, and historic temples. Revisiting the city for the first time several years after relocating to Europe was refreshing as there’s been so many things I’ve been missing. But it also put things is perspective. In order to make the most out of my time, I had to plan my visit like any other tourist on holiday. Looking back at my notes, I’ve put this short guide together to hopefully facilitate the process for anyone planning their visit to Thailand’s “City of Angels”.
🗺 Bucket List:Short highlight of a dream destination. As much as I love the Thai beaches, I am preparing a full write up on my favorites to publish a little closer to the summer. So I am giving this week’s Bucket List to the One&Only Reethi Rah resort in the Maldives and its beautiful partnership with Italian fashion house Missoni. Their newly redesigned Missoni Resort Beach Club in now among the top choices on my holiday 2023 shortlist. via: One&Only 🛠 Hack of the Week:Tips and tricks for better travel quality of life.
