What started as a casual night out on Bangkok’s famous Khao San Road turned into one of the wildest, most unexpected adventures of my life. At 5AM, two Thai girls I’d just met invited me on a spontaneous trip three hours outside the city—to their hometown. No plan, no sleep, no idea what was waiting.
