How I Traveled to Bangkok on a Budget After Losing My Job: A 2017 Success Story

In 2017, after losing my job due to a lack of projects in the IT industry, I found myself in a challenging situation. As a software developer, I was determined to find a new opportunity and, within a month, I landed a client in Bangkok, a product-based startup.

The chance to learn about their product and gain hardware knowledge was exciting, so I proposed to the CEO that I visit Bangkok for a month to immerse myself in the work. To my delight, he agreed and invited me to come over. This is the story of how I planned and executed a budget-friendly trip to Bangkok, making the most of every baht.
