Discover the unexpected challenges of learning Thai script, how music and dramas kept her motivated, and why Chiang Mai feels like home for so many nomads. Plus, hear her top tips for practicing Thai at street food stalls and why even small language efforts make a big difference in the Land of Smiles.
