Souls of Bangkok: Paula the Spaniard

SOULS OF BANGKOK — Paula moved to Bangkok from Spain a few months ago. She wanted to rediscover herself, and she thinks Bangkok can be a good city to find inner peace.

“Thai people look into your eyes and smile,” she said. “I like that.”

She’s already considered her list of improvements for the capital, however. Her “perfect” city to live would be: “Bangkok by the sea with sidewalks for walking, better public transport and fewer cars,” she described. “Then it would be perfect.”
