An Earthquake We Never Felt Ruined Our Plans

Описание: Everyone in Thailand was panicking about aftershocks, but we felt absolutely nothing. Here is the reality of how fear—not the actual earthquake—forced us to completely change our travel plans.

This video begins with everyday life in Buriram, Thailand — from Mintra giving me a manicure and pedicure to a relaxed walk around the local farm. It’s a look at rural Thailand away from tourist highlights, showing the quieter moments of long-term travel.

Partway through, I explain what actually happened with the recent earthquake in Thailand, including aftershocks felt in parts of the country and how media coverage compared to the reality on the ground. We were safe, but the situation led us to change our travel plans and avoid passing through Bangkok.

The video then follows our journey through Buriram Bus Station, showing local bus travel, facilities, and what overland transport in Thailand is like for longer routes. We board a long-distance bus heading east, with footage from the journey itself.

The trip finishes in Ubon Ratchathani, near the Lao and Cambodian borders. This isn’t a disaster or news video — it’s a calm, honest travel update showing how plans can change on the road, and what everyday travel in Thailand looks like when unexpected events happen elsewhere.
