My name is Jay Swanson - I'm an American writer living in Paris on an artist visa. Paris (yes the one in France) has been my home for years now and I have every intention of staying here for as long as they'll have me. I write science-fiction and fantasy, vlogged daily for 3+ years, and love pizza a little too much. Now I make videos about visiting Paris, traveling in Europe, and try to share what I've learned along the way. I hope you enjoyed what you found.

yesssssss welcome to Thailand! Go get yourself some street food asap. And even though it's not a regional dish (more northern Thailand/Myanmar border), I recommend a hot bowl of Khao Soi, my absolute *favorite* dish. It'll set you straight and solve all the world's problems. Also, the Paris to BKK route tends to have good flight prices. Enjoy!

Welcome to SE Asia. If you read this while in Thailand (Sarah and I are in Kuala Lumpur) you have to try Khao Soi. It's the bomb! It's a northern Thailand dish but you can find it in spots around Bangkok. Enjoy your time there.

I have been to Thailand several times and have never had jetlag (in any situation, not just when traveling to Asia) and I agree completely with your stay awake strategy. It makes for a dopey first day but it really really helps. As for spicy, it is not always a given (although, I grew up in the Caribbean so may have a different thought on spicy) - I would say that things are always well seasoned, though

@JaySwanson 6 ай бұрын

You grew up with way more spice than I did 😆 I'm loving it here

@@JaySwanson I am glad that you are loving the food!!! The fruit, fish, and people are all next level!!!! My comment came out the wrong way - what I was trying to say was that, although I love spicy food, I feel that most of the food is just well-seasoned rather than being crazy hot. I

Went to Brussels from Miami and with the layover it was 24 hours total. I made it to about 11:30 p.m. Brussels time. It was brutal but you've got to power through it. Caffeine can definitely be your friend here.

I recently stayed in the 5 star Marriott Marquis Hotel in Dubai and it was a similar buffet experience. I was there on an Emirates layover and it included lunch, dinner, and breakfast buffet and they were all amazing. There were also several other hotels and a bakery in the hotel, but the buffet was included so I went there. Making me think difrently about Marriott

@jyc313 6 ай бұрын

Haha fun video. Yah I try to stay up that first day and not fall asleep in my time zone. I try to book a flight that lands in the afternoon or evening so that I’m not forced to stay up an entire day feeling miserable. I travel often for work so I have to sync fast. Often I don’t get more than that first day/evening before work starts the 2nd day. Oh a strange tip that seems to work: exercising. If I arrive somewhere earlier in the day and I’m super tired and tempted to sleep I’ll go hit the hotel gym. I think it does the same thing as going out and walking about.. just keeping the body moving because once stationary…. It’s game over 😂 cheers.

@JaySwanson 6 ай бұрын

Same! Exercise helps a ton and I think accelerates adjusting. The first couple of days are rough but then you're through the worst of it

The maxim for jet lag: "Traveling west is best; east is a beast". But there's beating jetlag and then there's beating jetlag in Thailand. A massage that costs ~US$20 to loosen all your tight joints from the long flight and a fresh pomelo salad, mango sticky rice and Thai iced tea to perk you up. Have the best time and especially enjoy the amazing food that you'll find e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e !!

I have to admit, if i am arriving before noon, i will grab brunch and a shower then take a nap. ( i usually stay in a friends apartment. Its a bit more difficult in a hotel). Then I get up and go walk, have diner and stay up until 10-11pm. If i arrive after lunchtime, i just power through by walking, eating dinner, then sleep.
