I'm attending the FIRST ever Steemit Meetup in Chiang Mai, Thailand!!

Hello fellow Steemians!!

I'm attending the FIRST ever Steemit Meetup in Chiang Mai, Thailand!! I'm fully powered up and really excited to see other Steemians in SE Asia.

Last week I attended the weekly Bitcoin/Crypto meetup which had nearly 40 people in attendance. I honestly couldn't believe it. The expat + crypto movement is growing although there weren't that many Thai people at the meetup yet. I'll let you know if that's different with a Steem specific event.

Here's a link to the event if you want to join!

So, I've moved to Chaing Mai, Thailand and it's AMAZING! It's srsly a Digital Nomad's best friend. Countless coffee shops, restaurants, incredibly old temples and plenty of Thai massage spas. And food/rent is cheap! Wonderful meals for $3 USD (aka 1 Steem soon ;)

There's even a square moat that distinguishes Old Town!

Here are a few pictures of my Thailand travels so far (Bangkok and Chiang Mai), and I've only been here for a week.

Awesome Zen Garden at Starbucks

Ridiculous Thai dinner

Is this Thailand or The Shire??

Scooter ONLY parking at the Chaing Mai "Maya" Mall.

My first Bitcoin meetup in Chiang Mai, Thailand

Yep, this is Asia (and one of the more respectable power poles, actually)

On top of Bangkok!

Awesome rooftop bar in Bangkok

And finally, a panorama view of downtown Bangkok

Hope you enjoyed the pictures and I'll report back after the meetup tmrw night!

In Liberty,
