From Snow to Bangkok: My First Journey Through Thailand

A winter departure in Germany. Flight delays. A frozen stopover in Helsinki. And then, at last, Thailand. In From Snow to Bangkok, Corinna Flaig tells the story of her first journey through Thailand - a trip that moves from snow and airport chaos to the heat and motion of Bangkok, the rivers of Kanchanaburi, the ruins of Ayutthaya, and the quieter beauty of Sukhothai. Along the way, she encounters street food, temple courtyards, riverboats, floating markets, unexpected setbacks, and countless moments of kindness that gradually transform a destination into something real. Warm, observant, and deeply personal, this travel memoir captures what first-time travel often feels like: messy, funny, exhausting, eye-opening, and unforgettable. For readers who enjoy honest travel writing, Thailand memoirs, and journeys shaped as much by people and atmosphere as by famous sights, From Snow to Bangkok offers a vivid and memorable first journey through Thailand.
