Phrae, Thailand - March 2026
After my rough night, we headed south on the highway to Phrae. We checked into our hotel and the owner gave us a map of the town and kindly pointed out some of the sights we could check out. Our stay also happened to be on the weekend when a local festivity was going on. We went on a long walk through the quiet streets of the town. Pretty sure it was a Sunday, so the vibe was particularly quiet. We eventually looped around and ended up at the square where the festival was taking place. In typical Thai fashion, there was plenty of food, some of it very traditional. The gentleman I am, I offered to buy Aurelija a bag of fried insects, but she declined, and instead watched a couple of kids share a bag while we watched some of the local talents sing songs on stage. We didn't stay out long though, both feeling tired after the previous night's ordeal.
At the start of the day we thought we had two more nights before flying back to Bangkok, but we were mistaken. This was our last night. We decided we'd spend the next morning exploring more of the town before driving back to Nan to drop off the rental car and take our flights.

Unfortunately, things didn't go to plan. After a delicious, plentiful breakfast at the hotel, we checked out and drove a couple of kms north and parked the car to explore on foot. I immediately spotted a cat on a wall and stopped for a photo. It took me ages to "focus" (the photo actually came out OOF). I turned around and started to walk towards Aurelija and within a few steps could barely keep my balance. The acute vertigo was coming back. I did my best to stop it, but it was impossible. 20 mins later, I was again rendered useless. Simply opening my eyes would cause me to throw up. I lay on the side of the road for about an hour, spewing in gutter every 15mins. Aurelija wanted to call an ambulance. At this point a lady came out a shop and asked what was happening. I managed to suggest we ask her to drive us back to our hotel. She accepted. Our first hero of the day. I made it back without being sick and Aurelija and the kind hotel owner carried me to a room. I was sick some more, and eventual

My only regret is not trying those fried insects, even though you offered
