Space play/pause · J/L seek 10s · [ ] previous/next
Summary
Thai girlfriend discovered his YouTube channel and secret Korean cohabitation, demanded he leave immediately; he escaped and returned to Thailand. After nearly five hours cycling to the airport, Thai immigration detained and warned him over repeated visa-free returns and no onward ticket. Japan no longer recreates 2018–19 excitement; exhausted by costly travel, he considers Thai, education, marriage, or £14,000 Elite visas.
Insight
Secrecy, impulsive relocation, and relationship dependence continue, while nostalgia shifts toward settling permanently in Thailand.
