👋 Hello, I’m JJ.

I’m a Singaporean who took the leap to move to Thailand in 2021, right in the midst of the pandemic.

Having lived here for 4 years as a foreigner, I’ve navigated the many challenges many expats face—visa process, immigration, banking, language barriers, and exploring the hidden gems of this country.

I’m also lucky enough to be married to a wonderful Thai woman, which has deepened my appreciation for the culture and inspired me to learn Thai. Sharing my experiences is a passion of mine—I strive to help others who are living, traveling, or considering a move to Thailand.

But my blog isn’t just about Thailand! I’m an ex-entrepreneur who founded a company and successfully exited it. Now, I’m diving into the world of forex trading, where I’m honing my skills and exploring the psychological aspects of trading. I look forward to document my journey and learnings on this blog.

If you’re interested in travel, life in Thailand, or just love discovering new perspectives, I’d love for you to join me on this journey.

Happy reading, and let's connect 👇
