The destination(s)

Bangkok for the plot.
Phuket for the recovery.

One birthday, two very different energies. First we paint Bangkok neon; then we let Phuket soothe our collective hangover.

Friends on a neon-lit night out I Rooftops · Nightlife · Naughtiness

11–15 March · After dark

Bangkok

The city of angels meets a crew with absolutely no angelic intentions.

  • Sascha’s birthday party on 13 March
  • Rooftops, street food, markets and questionable dancing
  • Home base: Sukhumvit Soi 11

Dress code: effortlessly hot. Effort level: considerable.

Friends enjoying a sunny boat day II Salt · Sunshine · Severe relaxation

15–20 March · After sun

Phuket

Five nights of sea, sun and becoming horizontally gifted.

  • The whole crew travels down together
  • Villa already booked, naturally
  • The heat continues — 34°C and absolutely no mercy

Suns out, buns out. Within reason. Probably.

The episode guide

Ten days.
No character development.

A rough itinerary, because spontaneity sounds much better than “we haven’t decided yet.”

    The jetlagged flâneurs

    Recover with markets, street food and a slow wander that mysteriously ends at a bar.

  3. 03

    SAT · 13 MAR · The birthday episode

    The bottle episode.

    Sascha turns 30. Rooftops, drinks, dancing and a Bangkok night worthy of the leading man. Expect poor decisions in excellent outfits.

    Tonight’s forecast: 100% chance of pour decisions.

    The beach club era

    We fly to Phuket together on 15 March. Sunshine, swimming and doing very little, beautifully.

  6. 06
    SAT · 20 MARHomeward

    The return of the severely relaxed

    Seatbelts fastened, personal standards unfastened. Fly Phuket → Bangkok, then home with a tan and a camera roll requiring legal review.

    SUN · 21 MARReality

    A devastating lack of palm trees

    Return to real life and wonder why breakfast doesn’t come with a swim-up bar.

Unfinished business, darling.

A few tiny bookings stand between us and complete leisure. See to them, won’t you?

House rules

According to a man
in a German tracksuit.

A strict regulatory framework for having absolutely no chill.

§ 01

One crew, two stops

Bangkok first, Phuket next. One itinerary, with plenty of room for your own plot twists.

§ 02

Your time, your pace

Grindr date in Bangkok? No worries, you don’t have to bring us all. Skip an activity, explore solo or recharge — alone time is very sexy.

§ 03

Relaxed & flexible

A few highlights are planned. The rest is vibes, whimsy and whatever’s nearby.

§ 04

Party Hard

On 13 March, we hydrate, celebrate and dance until the resort quietly updates its policies.
