In this follow-up, Kib talks about freelancing, unpredictable earnings, family obligations, and why she’s considering returning to bar work.

What does a day at home in Pattaya look like for Siriwan? There’s laundry, cooking and English practice—but also time with her partner, calls with her parents, and thoughts about the family she hopes to build.
Our new documentary lets Siriwan tell that story herself. Watch it and read the companion article here:

A few days away from Pattaya doesn’t mean the morning walks have to stop. Trade Beach Road for a lap around Nong Prajak Park in Udon Thani—with food stalls and massage shops across the street for afterward.
My latest journalism project takes a look at the park, the people using it, and why public exercise spaces matter.

🏍️ NEW STORY: PATTAYA ON TWO WHEELS
Motorcycles keep Pattaya moving—but that convenience comes with a serious cost.
For my latest master’s program project, I photographed Pattaya’s riders, motorcycle taxis, delivery workers and traffic to examine the balance between convenience and road safety.

A Degenerate’s Guide: Mind Your Business in Thailand
You ever be enjoying some private company in your hotel room when some random white knight decides it’s his mission to save a woman who clearly doesn’t need saving?
Yeah… that’s basically what happened.
In this episode, we talk about one of the strangest things I’ve experienced in Thailand, why some people need to stop trying to be heroes, and why minding your own damn business is often the best policy.
Watch it here:

Have you ever had some random person stick their nose into a situation that had absolutely nothing to do with them?
Cheers, you degenerates.
