When I first moved to Thailand, the hardest thing to adjust to was the spicy food. My tolerance was really low, so I couldn’t handle many Thai dishes. But I’ve been slowly building it up—one pepper at a time!
Spicy food isn’t just delicious; it also comes with health benefits like better digestion, a stronger immune system, and a reduced risk of chronic disease. Plus, it’s helped me bond with Thai friends over meals.
This whole experience taught me that embracing the local cuisine can make life abroad even more rewarding.
