#336 Moving from UK to Thailand: The Good & The Bad

Aug 6th, 2025 5:00 AM

Have you ever wondered what it's like to cycle through Bangkok?That's exactly what I'm doing in today's episode. I'm taking the podcast to the streets and I'm riding my bicycle across the city while avoiding stray dogs, and sharing my views on life in Bangkok.I mostly talk about the things I like and dislike about living here, and some ways in which the UK might be better. I hope you enjoy it!This was a somewhat experimental episode. Much of the audio had to be cut because of the wind, and all of it had to be edited to make my voice clearer. So sorry about any strange parts in the audio. If you like the idea of these outdoor episodes, let me know and I'll invest in better microphones for next time.Show notes page - https://levelupenglish.school/podcast336Have a question?
