Week 52: Did an HIV Test ๐Ÿฉบ

This week I was living in Hua Lamphong, Bangkok ๐ŸŒ†.
Sometimes I wandered over to Lumpini Park near Silom ๐Ÿž๏ธ. After some research, I realized Silom is a red-light area ๐Ÿ”ด.

Fun fact: If I buy 6 bottles of TENO-EM (for PrEP), I could get an HIV test for free โ€” normally costs 8,900 BHT ๐Ÿ’ธ. Figured itโ€™s better to just try it once.

The clinic is called PULSE Clinic, right under the Sala Daeng BTS bridge ๐Ÿš‰. The front looks a bitโ€ฆ kinky ๐Ÿ˜….
The test? Just a little blood draw. After 20 minutes, I got my results โœ….


Outdoor Gyms ๐Ÿ’ช

Bangkok has tons of outdoor gyms!
Lumpini Park has one too โ€” only 30 BHT a day. Perfect for keeping active without breaking the bank.


Next Week ๐Ÿ”ฎ

Next week is the last week of 2023!
If Iโ€™m lucky, I might finally find a condo that fits me ๐Ÿขโœจ.
