Stuck in Bangkok Blues

Dispatch Dated: 2005-08-13

It’s going on 3 months since I arrived in Bangkok and I am very disappointed that the extensive travel I had planned to do has not yet happened. Getting bills paid and wrapping up my life in Denver took far more of my budget than I had anticipated so I decided that I would forgo travel until I had increased the revenue from some of the web sites I am developing.

It’s the same ol’ conundrum: when you have money, you don’t have time. When you have time, you almost always need to be making money.

“Too busy working” was why I spent 4 years in Bangkok (1998-2002) and saw far less of Thailand (and the region) than I had hoped I could.

Hopefully, the money pressure will be resolved soon and I can get on the road and have more to say.
