A little Personal Tale
Attention, dear readers, for we find ourselves at the precipice of a tale that intertwines the enigmatic allure of Chiang Mai with the wistful echoes of a love that crumbled like a sandcastle beneath the tropical sun. Brace yourselves, for what follows is a chronicle that delves into the very heart of my misadventures in a city that unwittingly played the role of executioner to an 11-year saga.
Cast your thoughts back to a time when I, an innocent Thailand virgin, embarked upon the journey to Chiang Mai, a realm I now deem my sanctuary, my refuge. An escapade that was meant to be an exploratory ride and a cinematic assignment, yet it became a fateful voyage that forever altered the course of my existence. Picture, if you will, the tragicomic tableau of my then-long-term girlfriend accompanying me – an idea so brilliantly ill-conceived that it might have been birthed in the mind of a deranged bard.
Ah, the beauty of Thai women, a symphony of allure that played a melody of insatiable want and tantalizing desire upon the strings of my heart. Fate, or perhaps a malevolent spirit of adventure, pushed me to the brink of temptation. It was as if the city itself conspired to unshackle me from the chains of my old life. And so, mere days after our return to the Southern tip of Africa, a "Dear John" note was gracefully laid upon the dining table. A blatant manifestation of my conspicuous cravings, they said. Yet, my friends, this swift departure turned out to be a twisted blessing, a departure that paved the way for renewal.
But let's steer this ship back to the present – to a city whose air remains as thick with desire as the humid tendrils that cling to your skin. Ah, the red light district, a flickering ember of its former self, thanks to global lockdowns. Still, its seductive whispers beckon me like a siren's song. Why, you might ask? From tragedy, they say, rises glory.
Since that ill-fated juncture, I have ventured back to Chiang Mai time and time again, a moth drawn to the luminous allure
