Hi, I'm Lisi, a freelance UX Designer and digital nomad. I'm also half Thai / Austrian and spend a lot of time in Thailand.

So far, I've spent all of the Loy Kratong festivities in Chiang Mai. If you're celebrating in other parts of Thailand, I'd love to read your comments about where you think is best to celebrate.
